The Speedmaster Surf EX Beach fits perfectly into Shimano's range of lightweight surf rods, has a powerful casting action for targeting long distances, and offers attractive quality and price. The barrel has extraordinary cosmetics. The casting power of the Speedmaster Surf beach is generated by the use of high modulus carbon, combined with the Diaflash construction at the bottom of the blank. The sensitivity of the 3 peaks amplifies the shy bites of even the smallest fish. You can't help but be impressed by the beautiful blue blank, mounted with Fuji Fazlite K stainless steel rings, they are corrosion resistant, lightweight and reduce friction. If you use the braid, you will be happy to know that the rings are safe for even the thinnest braids. To accommodate medium-sized surfcasting reels, a Fuji NS7 reel seat bonded neatly to the blank has been positioned to allow maximum leverage to be created with the lower hand while casting. Casting powers up to 120g. The ideal rod for Italian coasts, where casting power combined with sensitivity is required.
