Description

The Shimano Speedmaster AX Deep Drop rod is designed exclusively for serious deep-sea fishing with heavy gear and electric reels (like the Shimano Plays, Beastmaster, and Forcemaster). The construction focuses on delivering immense power and durability while maintaining a progressive action suitable for deep water.

The blank is a technological blend of Full Carbon, reinforced with HPC (High Pressure Carbon), Nanosheet, and Biofibre materials. This combination results in a strong, responsive blank with maximum durability to handle the pressure of lifting heavy weights and fighting large deep-water predators.

A key and distinctive feature is the spiral-mounted Fuji MN guides. The guides are aligned to wrap around the blank and direct the line to the underside of the rod. This configuration keeps the heavy line away from the blank under extreme compression, maximizes the progressive action, and significantly reduces blank twist for consistent power delivery. The rod features a 1+1 construction (detachable handle) for strength and transport ease.
