The Instage series offers a lineup of seven models designed for serious anglers to enjoy the free and agile world of inshore fishing. While each model possesses the power to handle migratory fish weighing 3kg to over 5kg, it offers a well-balanced range of specifications to suit different purposes, from medium-light classes for technically manipulating small lures to heavy classes for big baits. It pursues satisfying performance in a variety of situations. In addition to spinning models with a wide range of applications and excellent versatility, it also offers baitcasting models that create a stylish and unique rod, meeting the diverse requests of anglers. With a design that further enhances elements such as lightness, sensitivity, and responsiveness, this lineup allows you to fully enjoy the cool urban world of inshore fishing.

The Shimano Carbon Monocoque Grip was born from the innovative idea of ​​creating a hollow structure for the rear grip using a single piece of carbon molding. While possessing the strength to withstand the loads of intense jerking and fighting, it is also lightweight, highly responsive, and boasts excellent vibration transmission. Equipping your rod with this grip makes inshore fishing performance even more reliable. It enhances the sense of unity between the rod and angler, supporting high-precision casting and accurate lure manipulation, whether you're using small lures under 10g for light game fishing or big game fishing with lures over 100g. Even now, 10 years after its introduction, the Shimano Carbon Monocoque Grip continues to evolve. Experience its true value for yourself.

Guides are crucial components for maximising the performance of the blank. In the newly introduced Instage series, only the B63H, which prioritises strength and rigidity, uses all double-foot guides, while the other six items are equipped with 3D titanium guides. The X Guide 3D Titanium is a one-piece structure formed with 3D technology and Shimano's unique cold forging technology, resulting in no sharp edges while simultaneously being light and strong. The calculated angle of inclination not only drastically reduces line trouble and promotes smooth line release, but the guide foot is designed to be as short as possible to suppress tension in the blank when bent. It maximises the performance of the blank without interfering with a beautiful bend curve.
