Manufacturer's description
Four standout items that enhance the appeal of flatfish fishing.

An extreme game facing fish in a world of finely honed senses. The brand Stefano, which has poured the pinnacle of Shimano's technology into serious competition against flatfish, features a tip with high-sensitivity carbon solid TAFTEC reinforced with ultra-fine carbon tape, serving as an antenna to detect flatfish presence. The tip is equipped with Shimano's original high-performance guide, X Guide, which improves lightness, trouble-free operation, and casting performance. Additionally, the reel seat adopts the X Seat front trigger, pursuing lightweight and operability.

Flatfish rods are all about the tip. Dedicated tips with excellent visual and tactile sensitivity.

The tip, which can be said to be the most important or face of the flatfish rod, varies greatly in how flatfish bites are detected. It conveys expressions from large, clear movements to subtle vibrations as 'visual sensitivity,' and also detects vibrations and anomalies such as line rubbing, sometimes even the presence of fish, as 'tactile sensitivity.' The characteristics and performance of the tip greatly influence the potential of the flatfish rod.

In Stefano SS, the tip uses a highly sensitive carbon solid TAFTEC, and by tightening the tip with Hyper Power X, which is a Hyper Power X solid, it achieves a lightweight, highly resistant to twisting tip with excellent visual and tactile sensitivity.

The performance of the tip depends on the guide.

If the tip is the life of the flatfish rod, then the guide mounted on the tip greatly affects the rod's performance and comfort during actual fishing. If the guide on the tip is heavy, operability and feeling worsen, and if the line tends to tangle or be difficult to come off, there is a risk of damage.

X Guide, born from the perspective of rod manufacturers, is Shimano's original high-performance guide that maximizes the potential of the blank by combining lightness, trouble-free operation, and casting performance at a high level. The integrated frame formed by 3D technology supports the guide ring, suppresses line tangles with a calculated three-dimensional structure, and also achieves good line slip.

Whether to utilize or suppress the excellent tip depends on the guide. An inconspicuous but key part for flatfish fishing is the X Guide mounted on the Stefano SS.

FEATURE (Features)

TAFTEC tip

A carbon solid tip with unprecedented strength achieved by reviewing the material composition and manufacturing process. Compared to TAFTEC α, it features higher sensitivity with more rigidity.

X Seat Front Trigger + Fitting Support CI4+

A new lightweight reel seat that combines the benefits of trigger seats and Stefano series seats. The trigger positioned in front of the seat allows you to hook your index finger or middle finger, supporting the reel with the index finger, enabling extremely precise millimeter-level rigging operations. It also increases hold strength and makes winding more comfortable. The stability of casting is improved, and it is less likely to slip even when hands are wet, reducing finger strain caused by traditional triggers. This is a revolutionary reel seat that changes the dimensions of the entire flatfish game operation.

X Guide (tip section)

Original guide that brings out the rod's inherent performance.

X Guide, born to bring out the potential of the blank, combines lightness, trouble-free operation, and casting performance with strength. The integrated frame formed by 3D technology supports the guide ring, suppresses line tangles with a calculated three-dimensional structure, and also achieves good line slip.
