Store explanation by manufacturer
A stiff tip action that enables powerful handling. A wide lineup of 6 to 18, active regardless of fishing spot.

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. Its resistance to twisting prevents bending and allows the rod to perform its original function.

The tip, which enhances operability, uses Toughtech Infinity semi-solid tip. It balances delicate rod 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 a broad range from wild fishing, managed fishing grounds, to fish ponds. The powerful 18 performs well in offshore fishing targeting new bream, while the shortest 6 is expected to excel in shallow-dan fishing requiring high speed, not only for peak spawning but also for long-throw adjustments. 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 crimson 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 in each season: spring for spawning, summer for shallow-dan fishing, autumn for chōchin fishing, and winter for bottom fishing, in each field.

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 longitudinal 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 '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 lily called 'Mawari Lillian' with less thread snagging and better thread compatibility.

Tough Lillian

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