Product Details and Uses

Shimano STC XR Blue Inshore Distance | 8’11” 12-35g 5pc

The Ultimate Long-Distance Predator Travel Rod.

At Gerry’s Fishing, we know that sometimes the fish are just out of reach—but your gear shouldn’t be. The Shimano STC XR Blue Inshore Distance is the specialist’s choice for anglers who need to hit the horizon while traveling light. Specifically designed for long-range casting with plugs and surface lures, this rod brings elite performance to the coast, no matter where in the world you land.

Don’t let the 5-piece construction fool you. Thanks to Shimano’s cutting-edge High Modulus Full Carbon blank, integrated with HPC (High Pressure Carbon) and Nanosheet technology, this rod delivers a seamless, moderate-fast action that feels like a premium two-piece. It offers the perfect balance of a sensitive tip for lure vibration and a powerful butt section reinforced with Diaflash to control hard-charging Sea Bass, Bluefish, and Barracuda.

Whether you are walking miles of rocky coastline or need a high-performance rod that fits in your carry-on, the STC XR Distance delivers the “snap” and recovery speed required for maximum lure distance and pinpoint accuracy.

Key Features

Distance Specialist: The 8’11” (2.72m) length is optimized for launching distance plugs and surface lures further than ever before.
Elite Carbon Technology: Features HPC and Nanosheet construction, making the blank significantly stronger and more responsive than traditional travel rods.
Diaflash Reinforcement: Cross-wrapped carbon in the lower section prevents blank twist, ensuring every ounce of power goes into your cast and the fight.
Premium Fittings: Equipped with tangle-free Fuji K-Type Alconite guides—essential for using thin braids in windy coastal conditions.
Compact Travel Design: With a transport length of just 65cm, it’s the perfect companion for long-range adventures and tropical shore fishing.
Total Protection: Comes supplied in a heavy-duty STC XR hardcase for maximum security during transit.
