The Shimano Beastmaster AX Monster is a new telescopic rod designed for the largest European freshwater fish, including the mighty sturgeon. Immensely robust, the Beastmaster AX Monster, 4.2 meters long, is the tool designed and studied for sturgeon fishing in commercial waters. The Beastmaster AX Monster certainly lives up to its name. If you are looking for a high end rod capable of tackling the largest sturgeon and catfish if necessary, this beast of a rod will not disappoint. With a length of 4.20m and a casting power of 200g, the Beastmaster AX Monster has a fast action that allows you to cast great distances from the bank, with enough weight to deal with strong river currents. And when you hook a monster fish, you have the strength to fight and the confidence to overcome even the most difficult and challenging situations. The Beastmaster AX Monster telescopic blank is made of high modulus carbon enriched with HPC (High Pressure Carbon), Diaflash and Biofibre. These carbons and advanced technologies work in harmony to create an incredibly powerful and durable rod, capable of tackling all challenges, whilst maintaining the response and feedback needed to fish effectively. To overcome the extreme stresses exerted when fighting massive fish, the beautiful black blank is equipped with Fuji K-type Fazlite guides with flanged Alconite tip and Fuji DPS reel seat. A special high-density EVA cap is designed to evenly distribute excess power when fighting the rod body against the fish.
