Shimano 20 Zodias

For 2020, the Zodias has undergone a significant upgrade and now features Shimano’s exclusive Carbon Monocoque Butt for the ultimate in sensitivity. The Full Carbon Monocoque rod butt is made of a hollow carbon construction, eliminating the use of EVA from the rear grip. This results in a very lightweight construction that is extremely sensitive and improves vibration transmission through the rod blank to your hand when working a lure. To provide the exact balance between power and finesse, the 2020 Zodias continues to feature Shimano’s Hi-Power X graphite blank and Ci4+ Reel Seat and upgraded Fuji Stainless Alconite K guides with a SiC tip. With 12 models in the range that have been engineered with specifically tuned actions for a range of lure fishing styles. The rods are finished with the slick red and black cosmetics that have made the Zodias series a perfect match for many Shimano reels.

REDUCED TWISTING DURING CASTING/FIGHTING

Hi-Power X prevents rods from twisting when casting and fighting by tightening up blank construction by wrapping Infinity carbon tape. Hi-Power X enables a quickness and sharpness in rod action, producing the best blank performance.

CI4+ REEL SEATS

Excellent grip and power transmission achieved through design and weight reduction. The lightened structure utilises a carbon-reinforced material and CI4+ technology to achieve a light and responsive action.

HIGHLY SENSITIVE HOLLOW STRUCTURE

The Full Carbon Monocoque rod butt is made of a hollow carbon construction, eliminating the use of EVA from the rear grip. This results in a very lightweight construction that is extremely sensitive and improves vibration transmission through the rod blank to your hand when working a lure.
