The new Shimano Salty Advance Eging is a mid-priced EGI rod selected from the JDM range and designed for cephalopod fishing by Shimano's Japanese experts. Great value for money, the high modulus carbon blanks are light, extremely sensitive and fitted with premium Fuji guides. If you don't want to invest in an expensive high-end rod, but want to take advantage of a great design experience and an advanced carbon construction, the Salty Advance Eging offers a fantastic compromise. This stunning looking range has been selected from the Shimano JDM range and is perfect for squid and cuttlefish fishing on European shores. The moderate-fast action is ideal for casting EGIs comfortably while maintaining a responsive tip for maximum lure action and bite detection. The eye catching blank of the Salty Advance Eging is made from advanced high modulus carbon, rarely found in rods of this price point. The result is a perfectly balanced combination of power and sensitivity, with the right reactivity in the central section to support the strokes of the squid, even in low light conditions, when it is necessary to use sensitivity and not sight to perceive the touches of cephalopods. The range includes two 2.51m models: the lighter version is suitable for Egi sizes 1.8-3.8, while the more powerful version can handle Egi sizes 2.5-4.0. To enhance the high quality performance of the Salty Advance Eging, the lightweight Fuji KR-type Alconite stainless steel guides, with SiC leader, ensure trouble-free line handling, even when using ultra fine braid. To complete the eye-catching blank, an exclusive Shimano plate is mounted on the modern and ergonomic EVA split grip handle.
