The 3pcs and 4pcs constructions of these rods makes every rod extremely easy to transport and will easily fit in any car. Despite the compactness, the rods do not compromise on sensitivity and responsiveness because of the high modules full carbon blanks with NANOSHEET technology. The rods are perfect to target trout and perch with smaller lures. Nevertheless there are also rods in the range that can handle bigger lures for targeting pike.
Shimano NANO carbon is a technology which is used to build rod blanks which are on average 35% stronger and 15% lighter than a conventional rod blank. The heart of a NANO rod blank is made of a NANO carbon sheet. This sheet has a special weave which allows to use a low amount of resin which is spread into very small (nano) particles throughout the sheet. This creates the lightness, strength and responsiveness in the blank.
Shimano High Pressure Carbon is a process which creates stronger, more responsive blanks. Pressure is applied to the blank surface during curing (heating) which evenly distributes the resin through the carbon fibre matrix. The result is a much stronger, more consistent performance and improved responsive.
