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

An extreme game facing fish in a world sharpened to the limit of sensitivity. The brand Stefano, which has poured the pinnacle of Shimano's technology into serious matches with flatfish, features a tip with high-sensitivity carbon solid TAFTEC reinforced with ultra-fine carbon tape, serving as an antenna to detect flatfish signals. Additionally, the tip is equipped with Shimano's original high-performance guide, X-guide (tip section), made of lightweight, trouble-free, cast-enhancing titanium SiC. Furthermore, the reel seat adopts the X-seat front trigger, pursuing lightweight and operability.

The tip is the life of a flatfish rod. Dedicated tip with excellent visual and tactile sensitivity.

The part that can be said to be the life or face of a flatfish rod is the tip. Flatfish bites vary greatly. It conveys the expression as 'visual sensitivity' from large, clear movements to slight vibrations, and also transmits 'tactile sensitivity' that detects not only bites but also vibrations and anomalies like the line rubbing, and sometimes even the presence of fish. The character and performance of the tip greatly influence the potential of a flatfish rod.

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

The guide determines whether the tip's potential is realized or lost.

If the tip is the life of a 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 is prone to tangling and hard to come off, there is a risk of damage.

X-guides, born from the perspective of rod makers, are Shimano's original high-performance guides that fuse lightweight, trouble-free, and cast performance to fully bring out the potential of the blank. The integrated frame formed by 3D technology supports the guide ring, and the calculated three-dimensional structure suppresses line tangles while also achieving good line slip.

Whether to utilize or suppress the excellent tip depends on the guide. The 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 placed 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 rig operation. It also increases hold strength, makes winding more comfortable, stabilizes casting, reduces finger burden even when hands are wet, and reduces the stress caused by traditional triggers. This is a revolutionary reel seat that changes the series of movements in flatfish fishing.

X-guide (tip section)

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

X-guides, created to maximize the potential of the blank, combine lightness, trouble-free operation, and high cast performance with strength. The integrated frame formed by 3D technology supports the guide ring, and the calculated three-dimensional structure suppresses line tangles while also providing good line slip.
