Aimed at lure casting anglers, the Dialuna BS range offers great versatility, with two-piece construction and a model range that is suited to light and heavy lure applications. To further enhance performance, a Carbon Monocoque butt construction has been combined with a custom designed Shimano Ci4+ reel seat. In turn this will provide the ultimate combination for maximum feedback and sensitivity. With four spin models available in lengths between 8’ and 10’ the emphasis is on long range distance casting, the high-quality design and technologically advanced carbon construction combine to deliver one of the most versatile and advanced rods in the Shimano range.
Key Points
To finish as a light and strong rod.
This performance is supported by Shimano's original Spiral X and High Power X. Spiral X boasts strong rigidity against twisting and crushing while maintaining lightness, and has excellent power transmission in operations such as casting and fighting when the rod is bent. In addition, high power X, which further enhances torsional rigidity, thoroughly suppresses blurring and power loss, supporting the original performance of blanks. Not only is the power of the rod fully demonstrated in the fight with the important fish, but it is also possible to obtain a large repulsive force with a light force in repeated casting. We have also succeeded in pursuing light weight while increasing the power of the rod.
What is required for a carbon monocoque grip.
Carbon monocoque grip that boasts lightness and excellent vibration transmission. It was Shimano who brought out the revolutionary idea of making the rear grip a hollow structure with carbon integral molding. This advanced technology, which has been developed only for high-end salt rods so far, is generously adopted in the new Dialuna. In adopting this technology, Shimano's unique commitment is included.
Features
A reel seat that pursues a shape that is easy to grip even with a light force by eliminating steps as much as possible. It not only realizes a high hold feeling, but also contributes to the weight reduction of its own weight.
A grip that achieves high sensitivity by pursuing thinness while maintaining strength. Excellent transmission efficiency conveys minute changes in water to your hands.

Features
Spiral X
Overcome twisting and crushing and improve rod performance from the root.
Spiral X has a three-layer structure in which carbon tape is tightly wrapped diagonally in
opposite directions on the inner and outer layers of the rod longitudinal fiber. Internal and external oblique fibers allow high torsional and crushing stiffness while maintaining
lightness. Shimano's unique "basic structure" that improves instant power transmission in
fishing operations such as casting and fighting, maintains lightness and enhances "ground power for catching".
Carbon Monocoque Grip
Lightness and high sensitivity created by a hollow structure that changed the
standard of sensitivity. A carbon monocoque grip that created a new history of high-sensitivity rods with an
innovative idea of making the rear grip hollow with carbon integral molding. Acquired
unprecedented information transmission power and acquired unprecedented lightness and sensitivity.
High power X
A reinforced structure that further suppresses twisting that occurs during casting and
fighting. The feature is that the carbon tape is tightened in an X shape from the outermost layer of the spiral X or the carbon sheet vertical and horizontal crossing structure. As a result, the bending of the rod maintains the direction intended by the angler, and the original performance of the blanks is fully demonstrated.
Taftech
By reviewing the material composition and manufacturing method, the carbon solid tip has been given unprecedented strength. It features higher sensitivity than Tuftec a.

CI4+
CI4+ is a further evolution of Shimano's original C14 material reinforced with carbon fiber. It is characterized by being lighter and having higher strength than conventional resin.
