Description
The mid-priced Yasei AX Dropshot rods have brilliant extra fast actions, specifically designed to maximise your dropshot fishing efficiency. Beautifully balanced and featuring some of the most sensitive tips available to maximise bite detection, the lower part of the rods has the backbone required to strike with rapier-like speed at the slightest touch.
Shimano has a long history making high quality dropshot rods and the Yasei AX Dropshot is no exception. From the ultra sensitive tip that can detect the most gentle of pulls and underwater features, through to the powerful butt that enhances striking speed, every detail has been meticulously developed to give you optimum performance. Available in two lengths, the 2.10m Medium Light version has a casting weight of 5-18g, suitable for close range work and around bridges or obstacles, whilst the longer 2.40m Medium version has a casting weight of 7-21g and is more suited to fishing further out into open water or where there is more current. Both models will balance a 2000 or 2500 sized reel perfectly, and give you a combination that any street fishing expert would be proud to use.
The superb sensitivity of the Yasei AX Dropshot comes from the solid TAFTEC tip, which is an exclusive Shimano technology. This enables finer, more sensitive tips to be used, whilst still retaining the required strength to cope with hard fighting fish. The main body of the rod is made from High Modulus Full Carbon blank, built using Hi-Power X technology and Nano Alloy.
This reduces blank twist when casting, producing more accuracy when fishing tight to features and better control when fighting larger predators.
To further increase sensitivity and overall performance, the rods are fitted with the latest design Fuji Alconite K-type guides which are lightweight and suitable for the fine diameter braids used for perch.
In keeping with the high quality design, a Fuji reel seat is fitted onto the custom-design split grip EVA handle giving this range a modern, eye-catching appearance that matches their brilliant fishing performance.
