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

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

The 6 to 18 wide lineup covers wild fishing, managed fishing grounds, and fish farms. The powerful 18 performs well in offshore fishing targeting new carp, while the shortest 6 is expected to excel in shallow fast-paced fishing, including spawning season. The 10.5, 12, 13.5, 15, and 16.5 sizes allow anglers to choose the optimal length, making it easier to handle long rigs for bottom fishing.

The main body is painted in a vermilion color based on a shade 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 fishing, autumn for chumming, and winter for bottom fishing.

FEATURE (Features)

Spiral X

Overcomes twisting and crushing to fundamentally improve 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 crush resistance. Instant power transfer during casting and fighting improves, maintaining lightness and enhancing the rod's fundamental strength, Shimano's original "basic structure."

Toughtech Infinity

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

Micro Winding Lillian

A compact, water-repellent, high-performance rotating guide called "Mawari Lillian" with less line snagging and better line compatibility, featuring excellent water release.

Tough Lillian

Maintains traditional strength while reducing UV deterioration. In UV deterioration acceleration tests, it achieves more than three times the abrasion resistance of conventional products.
