Shimano Biocraft XR Fly Big Bug SW 9ft #8 4pc

The Biocraft XR fly rods are the most technologically advanced fly rods SHIMANO has ever made. They offer a remarkable combination of casting performance, practicality and value for money. The whole range covers all situations from ultra-light nymph fishing to heavy saltwater tuna fishing. If you hold a Biocraft XR in your hand, you immediately feel the quality, which is not least due to the carbon construction used. The Biocraft XR is light, responsive and perfectly finished. It far exceeds its purchase price and is a serious challenger to some of the more expensive American competitors. With 25 models there is something for everyone from fine finesse rods to saltwater powerhouses for all intrepid anglers. Each model is a beautiful work of art that instantly becomes an extension of your arm on the water. At the heart of every Biocraft XR is an amazing combination of exclusive SHIMANO carbon technologies that provide the perfect action for every rod. The High Modulus HPC Blanks are equipped with Biofibre, Nanosheet and Diaflash technology in various combinations. The respective configuration of the exclusive carbon technologies provides the necessary finesse for the light models and controlled power and incomparable casting characteristics for the powerful ambidextrous rods. Another advantage is that almost all models are 3 or 4-part to limit the transport length. As you would expect from a premium rod, the blank components are of the highest quality and selected for their performance characteristics. Seaguide and Fuji SIC guides are lightweight yet robust. Seaguide reel seats harmonize perfectly with the traditional cork handles and each rod is supplied with a velvet bag and hard case transport tube. To properly assess the Biocraft XR, you must of course test it yourself. Then, and only then, will you appreciate the breathtaking performance of a rod that in some cases costs as little as half the purchase price of its competitors. Biocraft XR - Born To Fly!
