Shimano Rod Yasei AX Pike Casting 2.30m 56-170g

Designed to be used with a 150 to 300 bait casting reel, the mid-priced Yasei AX Jerkbait Casting has the perfect features for effective jerkbait fishing. The short length, combined with a good amount of backbone and a quick point, allows the bait to be handled to the maximum, at any jerk rate you desire, while minimizing fatigue. To get the best action from your jerkbaits you need a rod with a lot of backbone and a fast tip, which is exactly what the Yasei AX Jerkbait Casting has. At just 1.98m in length, it's short enough to be used with either a down or side jerking technique, depending on your preference, and is easy to handle while boat fishing. Combine it with a baitcasting reel in sizes 150 to 300, for optimum balance, and you have a stunning lightweight combination. This allows you to produce super fast shocks while reducing fatigue when fishing for extended periods. With an optimal casting weight of 45-100g it is more suitable for medium and large lures, but due to the forgiving action of the tip you can get away with lighter jerkbaits if desired. And remember, while this model is specifically designed for using jerkbaits, that doesn't mean you can't experiment using swimbaits and lures. The Yasei AX Jerkbait is produced on a High Modulus Full Carbon blank, built using Hi-Power X technology and Nano Alloy. This reduces blank twist when casting and playing fish, and very important when jerking your lure. This results in a faster movement and while a slower technique often works, it's nice to know that you can increase the amount of aggression in your technique if you need to. To further enhance the overall performance, this rod is fitted with the latest Fuji Alconite K-type guides. In keeping with the high quality design, a super comfortable Fuji ACS reel seat is fitted to the custom EVA split grip handle, giving this rod a modern, eye-catching look to match its brilliant fishing performance.
