<p>The <strong>Shimano 26 Zodias</strong> is a benchmark for modern predator lure fishing. As part of Shimano’s <strong>JDM range</strong>, it is designed to deliver <strong>versatility, precision and reliability</strong> across a wide variety of techniques and fishing conditions. Originally developed for black bass fishing, the Zodias 26 has evolved to meet the demands of European anglers, offering an excellent balance of lightness and power. This allows longer fishing sessions with precise lure control, from finesse presentations to power fishing with larger baits. <strong>Hi-Power X technology</strong> reduces blank twist during casting and retrieving, improving stability and accuracy. The result is greater efficiency and superior control, even when using <strong>light braided lines</strong>. The <strong>CI4+ reel seat</strong>, combined with the <strong>Carbon Monocoque handle</strong>, enhances sensitivity and comfort, providing direct contact with the lure and immediate bite detection. This setup keeps the rod light and perfectly balanced for intensive use. The stealth matte finish and <strong>Fuji Alconite guides</strong> with optimized spacing reduce overall weight and improve balance, ensuring smooth and reliable performance. With <strong>4 casting and 9 spinning models</strong>, all in <strong>2-piece construction</strong>, the Shimano 26 Zodias range covers everything from perch and zander fishing to powerful techniques for pike and asp.</p>
