[Product Description]
シマノ バスロッド 22 エクスプライド 259SUL-S スピニングモデル is a super-ultralight spinning rod specialized for micro-bait shooting. It is designed for interpreting conditions based on information from fish finders and similar equipment, and for presenting bait to neutral bass.
It pursues responsiveness for sinking extremely small rigs weighing under 2 g including the sinker to a depth of 8 m, then shaking them in a consistent rhythm without sacrificing handling feel. After hook-up, the load transfers smoothly to help reduce the chance of losing the fish during landing.
The rod uses a small-diameter guide setting from the butt, prioritizing handling from vertical presentations to short-distance casting rather than casting performance. An edge-type carbon monocoque grip is used to further enhance handling, and this model marks the adoption of a carbon monocoque grip in the エクスプライド series.
The carbon monocoque grip achieves reduced weight compared with the previous model and provides sharp handling. The edge-type design, evolved from a rounded shape, creates a finger-catching edge when the grip is held firmly, contributing to casting accuracy and improved holding power.
The reel seat and carbon monocoque grip feature a matte rubber coating that is less likely to slip when wet. A matte finish is also applied to the butt section of the blank. The concept and item name are printed on the carbon monocoque grip, allowing the desired rod to be identified quickly when several rods are arranged on a boat or removed from a vehicle-mounted rod holder.
