Shimano Purist PX1 Deadbait 10'0" 250g 2.75lb 2pc

Shimano Purist PX1 Deadbait Rod 10’0″ 2.75lb (2pc)

The Shimano Purist PX1 is the ultimate rod for deadbait fishing, purpose-built to handle the rigours of modern predator angling. Available exclusively at Gerry’s Fishing, this 10ft model offers a brilliant deep bend, delivering both precision accuracy and formidable casting power. Visually, it boasts a stunning classic aesthetic, finished beautifully with a premium full cork handle that feels exceptional in the hand, even in cold winter conditions.

At the heart of the Purist PX1 Deadbait rod is a high-modulus, full carbon blank. This advanced construction is designed to generate the exact backbone needed to beat hard-fighting pike and zander. Crucially, the rod features a highly progressive action that dampens sudden departures and absorbs the aggressive “jerking” of a predator’s head at the net, absolutely minimising the chance of hook pulls during those critical final moments.

Product Details & Uses

This specialized construction is fully armed with durable, twin-leg Shimano Hardlite guides, offering fantastic line management and casting characteristics whether you are punching out a heavy dead fish or a classic groundbait rig.

The 10ft length provides incredible versatility, making it the perfect choice for boat anglers, roving canal banks, or fishing tight, heavily treed swims where a traditional 12ft rod is too cumbersome. It is equipped with a specially designed, ergonomic DPS-type reel seat that comfortably houses larger freespool or baitrunner reels. The convenient two-piece construction ensures that transporting and storing the rod between sessions is extremely easy.

Pro Tip:

The 10ft 2.75lb configuration is an absolute game-changer for boat fishing and close-quarters margin work. Pair this rod with a 6000 to 10000 size baitrunner reel loaded with 50lb braided mainline. The shorter length gives you infinitely better leverage when netting a large pike near the side of a boat or through tight marginal reeds compared to a longer 12ft model!

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 10ft model suitable for boat fishing?

Absolutely. The 10ft length is widely considered the optimal size for boat work. It gives you plenty of power to control heavy fish without the awkward, unmanageable length of a 12ft rod when dealing with a thrashing pike close to the net.

What size reels fit the DPS reel seat?

The ergonomic DPS reel seat is highly accommodating and will comfortably seat most medium-to-large predator reels, including standard 6000-10000 size baitrunners and mid-sized pit reels.

Can I cast heavy deadbaits with this rod?

Yes, the high-modulus blank and strong 2.75lb test curve are designed specifically for this purpose. With a max casting rating of up to 250g, it will comfortably launch large mackerel tails, whole roach, and heavy lead setups with ease.

Does the rod come with a rod bag?

Yes, the two-piece construction breaks down easily and is supplied ready for safe storage and transport.
