Manufacturer's description
To meet fish that become memories. A high-performance rod that bends for enjoyment.

The concept of "Encounter" is a casting rod for shore saltwater fishing, mainly targeting seabass, flatfish, and bluefish, allowing you to enjoy a wide variety of fish species. Equipped with Shimano's core technology, Spiral X, it is finished as a high-performance rod that exceeds the limits of this class. It is a performance that even experienced anglers will be convinced by, and is also recommended as the first rod for those new to lure fishing. Especially suitable for those who want to enjoy serious fishing with better tackle, even if just a little. Named based on the word "Encounter," meaning "meeting," this rod embodies the hope that many anglers will encounter more fish and various emotional experiences through fishing.

Shimano's unique technology that enhances the fundamental performance of the rod. Spiral X improves all aspects of casting, operation, and fighting.

Spiral X is a three-layer structure with carbon tape tightly wound diagonally in opposite directions on the inner and outer layers of the vertical fibers of the rod. This maintains lightness while achieving high torsional rigidity and crush resistance. Power transmission during all fishing actions, from casting to fighting fish, is improved, allowing the rod to perform at a high level and support comfortable fishing for anglers.

To prevent twisting and crushing that lead to power loss

By adopting "Spiral X," the rigidity against twisting and crushing of the rod is enhanced. Twisting is the force generated in the circumferential direction when the rod bends. Suppressing this twisting prevents power loss in the rod and reduces casting deviation and decreases in accuracy. In lure fishing, where repeated casting is common, this allows for more efficient power transfer with less effort, enabling more accurate casts repeatedly. The "Encounter" feels resilient with a core-like flexibility. It bends well, making it easy to identify the release point, and it is designed to be easy to swing with full force until the end.

Reel seat with excellent grip and no step, providing a comfortable hold. Can firmly apply force during fighting.

"Perfection Seat XT" is Shimano's proprietary reel seat. It has almost no step and fits comfortably in the hand. It is easy to grip with light force and allows for easy application of force when needed, improving comfort in all fishing movements. It also reduces fatigue during long fishing sessions and supports sustained high concentration.

Stainless frame K guide

The guides use a stainless material frame that is resistant to rust and has excellent strength. Additionally, the K guide design with high performance in preventing line trouble with PE lines makes it comfortable even for beginners to enjoy fishing.
