COMPLETE
ZODIAS BASS ROD REDESIGN FROM SHIMANO OFFERS SENSITIVE
CARBON MONOCOQUE TECHNOLOGY GRIPS WITH LIGHT
CI4+ REEL SEATS
Continuing the enhanced casting accuracy and distance from its
Hi-Power X blank construction, Shimano offers a new lineup of Zodias rods with
added sensitivity from their Carbon Monocoque grips and light, rigid CI4 reel
seats. The new Zodias series includes 9 casting rods and 8 spinning rods in the
key lengths, powers and actions for today’s popular bass fishing techniques.
First
offered on its flagship Poison Adrena bass rods, Shimano’s hollow Carbon
Monocoque grip transfers even the smallest vibrations from underwater structure,
lure action or bites to an angler’s hand. “When combined with our lightweight carbon-infused
CI4+ reel seat, anglers are offered up to 30% more sensitivity over traditional
rod handles,” said Adam Diehl with Shimano’s product development team. “Add that
sensitivity to the benefits of reduced rod twist from our Hi-Power blanks for
better fish-fishing control, and Zodias provides the tool needed to target your
personal best every cast.”

Shimano added to two new length to the Zodias lineup including ZDC-70MH 7’ medium-heavy power casting rod for bottom contact presentations and all-around use, and the 7’6” ZDS-76ML spinning rod for drop-shot rigs, hair jigs and small swimbaits for smallmouth. The heavy power, 7’5” ZDS175H is ideal for braided-line applications, especially when making long casts into grass. A long reargrip provides added casting distance leverage.
