Shimano's Speedmaster AX Deep Drop was designed for deep-sea fishing with electric reels. Perfect to combine with Shimano Plays, Beastmaster and Forcemaster reels, it features a high modulus carbon blank reinforced with Biofibre material for greater strength and durability. Spiral-mounted Fuji MN guides ensure the best performance from progressive action blanks and a lightweight aluminum Pacific Bay reel seat and gimbal keep weight to a minimum while maintaining impressive power. This rod is ideal for various depth fishing techniques aimed at large squid, grouper and other large deep sea predators.
