The Dialuna [Take-out model] is a take-out rod that is useful in a wide range of shore salt game scenes, with a focus on sea bass. It inherits the technology of the "Dia Luna" that is supported by many anglers, and is characterized by its light, unshakeable sharpness while drawing a high-powered, smooth bending curve. Another big attraction is that it is compact and easy to carry, taking advantage of the characteristics of a take-out rod. Even if you have a momentary opportunity in the field, a little free time, or move to a fishing spot by train or bicycle, you can enjoy practical lure fishing while making it easy to carry your tackle. You want to carry it and set up your tackle comfortably, but you don't want to compromise on the specifications. This is a take-out rod with excellent total balance that meets the needs of such anglers.
A casting rod that surpasses its class. It achieves both maneuverability and high specifications.
The Dialuna [swing model] adds mobility to the high basic performance of a shore casting rod. The double X structure of [Spiral X] and [High Power X] maintains high strength and rigidity while balancing lightness and power. It demonstrates high performance in all aspects of casting, lure operation and fighting, which are required in shore casting games. In addition to the high convenience of the swing specification, it also achieves power and smooth bending curves approaching those of a 2-piece rod. The lineup of 4 items can capture a wide variety of targets, including sea bass, flounder, bluefish, Spanish mackerel, and migratory fish. It is useful in a wide range of fields, including rivers, harbors, breakwaters, rocky shores and surf.
Key Features
A spinning rod you can always rely on. Developed to achieve an unprecedented level of performance.
Not only is it convenient, but Shimano's unique rod technology dramatically improves basic performance.
The Dialuna [Telescopic Model] has a 3-piece structure. As a rod suitable for shore saltwater fishing, it has a short storage length and is compact and easy to carry. The blanks use Shimano's proprietary technologies "Spiral X" and "High Power X" to achieve both lightness and power.
This is possible thanks to the double X structure.
Spiral X and High Power X are Shimano's proprietary technologies. First of all, Spiral X boasts strong strength and rigidity against twisting and breaking while maintaining lightness, and has excellent power transmission in all actions such as casting and fighting when the rod is bent. Furthermore, High Power X, which further increases the torsional rigidity, thoroughly suppresses shaking and power loss, supporting the realization of the original performance of the blank. It is an essential technology for achieving both convenience and practicality.
This rod is also designed to take into account the lack of power at the joints, which is common in telescopic rods. By making it easier to distribute the load when the rod is bent, it prevents power loss and creates a beautiful bending curve from the tip to the butt.
A single-foot guide with a smaller diameter than conventional guides is used, improving maneuverability and making it easier to carry.
This rod is equipped with a single foot guide made of stainless steel frame SiC ring, which is rust-resistant, strong and rigid. In addition, by adopting a smaller diameter size than conventional telescopic guides, it is light and highly responsive to all actions such as casting and lure operation. It also suppresses line trouble and stress, achieving an unprecedented high level of performance.
The reel seat is easy to grip with no step, so you won't get tired even after long hours of fishing.
"Perfection Seat XT" is Shimano's original reel seat. It has almost no step and fits comfortably in your hand when you grip it. It is easy to grip even with light force and easy to apply force when necessary, improving the comfort of every fishing action. This reel seat helps you to maintain high concentration even during long hours of fishing without getting tired.
High performance without compromise. Enjoy high-level lure fishing at any time.
The Dialuna [Telescopic Model] is highly convenient and can be used in a variety of situations. It is a rod that can greatly expand the range of enjoyment for those who mainly fish with lures, and those who enjoy fishing on the rocks as a sub-rod. For example, on a nearby embankment with good footing, you can enjoy a variety of ways to enjoy fishing, so your luggage tends to increase, but this Dialuna [Telescopic Model] supports comfortable carrying and actual fishing. It also has sufficient functions as a main rod, and even if you are traveling by train or bicycle, it is characterized by its short storage dimensions and easy to carry. It is also useful as a lure rod for float anglers in many situations, and by keeping it in a rod case, you can enjoy practical lure fishing in between float fishing, such as when you find a school of fish offshore or when you want to cast a lure at your feet.

Feature
A reel seat that eliminates steps as much as possible and pursues a shape that is easy to grip even with light force. Not only does it achieve a high sense of hold, but it also contributes to reducing the weight of its own weight.
The single-foot guide is made of a stainless steel frame with a SiC ring that is rust-resistant and has excellent strength and rigidity. By adopting a smaller diameter size than conventional guides, it is light and highly responsive to use.
Prevents accidental damage when transporting.
Feature
Overcomes screws and crushing and enhances rod performance from the core.
Spiral X has a three-layer structure in which carbon tape is tightly wound diagonally in opposite directions to the inner and outer layers of rod longitudinal fibers. The internal and external oblique fibers allow high screw rigidity and crushed stiffness to be achieved while maintaining lightness. Shimano's unique "basic structure" improves instantaneous power transmission in fishing operations such as cast and fight, maintains lightness, and enhances "ground strength for catching".
Reinforced structure that further suppresses the screws that occur during casting and fighting. It features carbon tape tightening up in an X-shape from the outermost layer of Spiral X or the carbon sheet longitudinal and horizontal crossing structure. This ensures that the bend of the rod preserves the angler's intended orientation and that the original performance of the blanks is fully realized.
CI4+ is a further evolution of Shimano's original material CI4 reinforced with carbon fiber. Compared to conventional resins, it is lighter and has higher strength.
