Introducing the New Dynaflare Series: Shimano’s Latest Innovation in Surf Fishing Rods
The new Dynaflare series of surf fishing rods from Shimano offers anglers a premium range tailored to the rigors and rewards of surf casting. From light beach casting to battling the giants of the ocean from the land, the Dynaflare series is engineered to enhance every aspect of the surf fishing experience.
The Dynaflare lineup presents a comprehensive range of rods with ten models to suit varying fishing conditions and angler preferences. Each model is meticulously crafted, combining advanced materials and Shimano's expertise to deliver unmatched performance.
At the heart of each Dynaflare rod lies a 30 TON Blank reinforced with T45 carbon, delivering a harmonious balance of strength and sensitivity. This robust backbone is pivotal for casting heavy baits and lures over long distances, while also providing the finesse needed to detect subtle bites and the power to fight and land heavy species.
The series ranges from the 902ML 4-8KG, an ideal choice for light surfcasting with its 9'0" length and medium-light action, up to the formidable 1463XH 20-30KG, a 14'6" powerhouse capable of handling the demands of big surf and bigger fish. Across the range, casting weights and line ratings are optimized to provide a rod for every shore-based scenario.
One of the standout features of the Dynaflare series is the attention to ergonomic design. EVA grips are shaped for comfort and control, ensuring a secure hold even in wet conditions. For example, the 1062M 8-15KG model boasts a foregrip measuring 160mm and a rear grip that extends to 460mm, both finished in a striking dark navy blue with gunmetal grey trim. These carefully considered dimensions allow for both precision casting and comfortable retrieval.
The design extends to the reel seats, with downward winding reel locks and a matte black finish that provides a secure and aesthetic connection to your reel. Additionally, each rod is equipped with Fuji K-Frame guides that not only add to the sleek design but also offer superior line management, reducing tangles and friction for smoother, longer casts.
Every aspect of the rod's aesthetics has been crafted to reflect the quality of the build. The sanded matte black finish exudes a modern look. The dark charcoal grips are accented with silver trim, and gunmetal grey details lend an air of sophistication to these high-performance surf rods.
Shimano's Dynaflare series doesn't just stop at looks and basic ergonomics; it is also a testament to Shimano’s dedication to detail. Each rod has a carefully measured distance from the reel seat to the rubber butt cap, optimizing the leverage and control for each angler's casting and fighting technique.
Finally, each rod in the Dynaflare series is a two-piece construction with a half joint (except for the three-piece 1463H), which makes transportation and storage convenient without compromising on rod action or integrity. This feature, coupled with the lengths ranging from 9'0" to the colossal 14'6", means there is a Dynaflare rod for every shore angler.
The Dynaflare series is a testament to the Shimano Australia’s unyielding drive for excellence. Whether you're an experienced surf caster or new to the sport, the Dynaflare series promises to enhance your fishing experience with its exceptional strength, sensitivity, and sophistication. With Shimano's Dynaflare in hand, the surf is more than an obstacle, now it’s your playground.
