Shimano Expride Casting 2.18m 10-30g 1+1pc

The Expride series exudes quality and, in terms of technology, is directly below the world-famous Poison Adrena. The Expride range includes a wide selection of rods for lure fishing. The extra fast action makes the Expride family suitable for almost every modern fishing technique and a wide variety of lures, ie all finesse techniques (e.g. drop shot, Texas, Carolina), fishing with hardbaits (e.g. twitchbaits, crankbaits, topwater) but also for light spin fishing for trout. The fast action makes the rods very sensitive and super tight for optimal power transfer when striking and during the fight. The Expride has been improved and compared to the previous model, the blank is made of higher modulated carbon. This gives you an even faster action, better balance and a slight weight reduction. The newly designed reel/reel seat not only looks good, but also gives you more sensitivity and grip. Each model is available in 1+1 (one piece with detachable handle) and 2 piece (equal length sections) options. The remarkable sensitivity you feel when using Expride is the result of two exclusive Shimano technologies. The High Modulus Full Carbon blanks are made using the Hi-Power X technology. This reduces blank twist when casting and fishing resulting in a very responsive feel. A Carbon Monocoque handle has also been added which transfers more information from the blank to your hand, giving you an unprecedented feeling of what is happening with your lure underwater. To further enhance the rod's sensitivity and performance, the Expride is fitted with Fuji SiC guides and a lightweight Shimano Ci4+ reel or reel seat. The stunning performance is complimented by a classic matte black blank and cork front handle; one of the most attractive combinations we have ever made! The 1+1 models have a one-piece main body with a super fast action, giving you unprecedented immediacy. For a more convenient transport solution, there are also 2-part options in all models, which can hardly be distinguished from the 1+1 models due to the production quality. The lightning fast bite indication and string tight action of the beautiful blank never disappoints! The matt styling and new Monocoque handle puts this rod in the absolute "must have" category.
