Rod Aero X5 Coarse

The Aero X5 rod range is priced at the upper mid-point of the market and is excellent in terms of value, visual presentation and performance. The advanced carbon blanks are available in Precision, Distance, Distance Power and Distance Heavy Power, giving total coverage for anglers wanting a matching set-up.
If you like all of your rods to complement each other and want a high-quality combination to select from when fishing, the Aero X5 take some beating. The balance and feel of all Aero X5 models are superb, and within the range there are models to cover all eventualities. The Precision Feeder models cast with remarkable accuracy and the Distance Feeder models contain some real powerhouses in the form of the Distance Heavy Power Feeder models which can comfortably cast 5oz (150g) making them perfect for the largest, most powerful rivers.
Using a combination of High Modulus Carbon, HPC (High Pressure Carbon) technology and Nanosheet, the Aero X5 offer fantastic performance across the complete range. The feeder rods do everything you would expect of a high-quality range and offer excellent casting and fish-playing characteristics, whilst having the versatility of 3 interchangeable quivertips. All models are fitted with Seaguide XOG anti-tangle guides that have been selected and spaced to suit each models intended use. The high-quality cork/EVA reel seat is a classic design and is complemented by a custom designed reel seat with a screw down hood for streamlined simplicity.

TECHNOLOGY

NANO SHEET
HPC (HIGH PRESSURE CARBON)
NANOSHEET_RD
NANO SHEET

Shimano NANO carbon is a technology which is used to build rod blanks which are on average 35% stronger and 15% lighter than a conventional rod blank. The heart of a NANO rod blank is made of a NANO carbon sheet. This sheet has a special weave which allows to use a low amount of resin which is spread into very small (nano) particles throughout the sheet. This creates the lightness, strength and responsiveness in the blank.


HPC_RD
HPC (HIGH PRESSURE CARBON)

Shimano High Pressure Carbon is a process which creates stronger, more responsive blanks. Pressure is applied to the blank surface during curing (heating) which evenly distributes the resin through the carbon fibre matrix. The result is a much stronger, more consistent performance and improved responsive.
