Manufacturer's description
A stiff tip action that enables powerful handling. A wide lineup of 6 to 18, active in various fishing spots.

Akatsuki, with a stiff tip action, stands firmly and allows quick retrieval, enabling efficient fishing for multiple catches. The key to its power is Spiral X, which resists twisting and prevents bending, allowing the rod to perform at its best.

The tip enhances operability with Toughtech Infinity semi-solid tip. It balances delicate handling and water release, providing good responsiveness. Also, while power rods tend to burden the hands, the smooth woven grip alleviates fatigue.

The wide lineup of 6 to 18 covers wild fishing, managed fishing grounds, and fish ponds. The powerful 18 performs well in offshore fishing targeting new bream, while the shortest 6 is expected to excel in high-speed shallow fishing, not only for peak spawning but also for shallow-dan fishing requiring quick response. For lengths 10.5, 12, 13.5, 15, and 16.5, choosing the optimal rod length makes it easier for bottom fishing fans to handle long rigs.

The main body is painted in a vermilion tone based on a color that also looks good in fresh green, with a unique expression reminiscent of crafts despite being an industrial product. Enjoy fishing with Akatsuki throughout the seasons—spring for spawning, summer for shallow-dan fishing, autumn for chōchin fishing, and winter for bottom fishing—each in their respective fields.

FEATURE (Features)

Spiral X

Overcomes twisting and crushing, fundamentally enhancing rod performance.

Spiral X is a three-layer structure with carbon tape diagonally wound in opposite directions on the inner and outer layers of the rod's vertical fibers. The diagonal fibers maintain lightness while achieving high torsional and crushing rigidity. Instant power transfer during casting and fighting improves, maintaining lightness and increasing the rod's fundamental strength—Shimano's original

Toughtech Infinity

Newly developed Toughtech achieves three times the winding strength and five times the winding amount compared to conventional solid tips. It surpasses the high-strength solid tips of Toughtech α.

Micro Winding Lillian

A compact, water-repellent, high-performance rotating guide

Tough Lillian

Maintains traditional strength while reducing deterioration caused by UV rays. In our UV deterioration acceleration tests, it achieves more than three times the abrasion resistance compared to conventional products.
