The Aero X1 is a quality entry level pole that offers excellent value, affordability and functionality. Available in 10 metre and 11.5 metre pole only and 11.5 metre pole package options and suitable for both carp and silver fish, it is the perfect pole for anglers who don’t need the full length of a longer and more expensive model. Ideal for anglers who are getting serious about pole fishing, the Aero X1 top kits are compatible with the full range of Aero poles and extensions are available.
If you are new to pole fishing, or have a basic pole and are looking to upgrade to a pole that offers better performance, the Aero X1
is a compelling proposition. Due to its 10 metre or 11.5 metre length, the initial cost of owning a quality pole is more manageable, with the advantage that additional extensions can be added at a later date. Built using high quality Japanese carbon (a very similar combination to the X5), the X1 has great balance, lightness and stiffness, even when fished at its full length. If you fish mainly for carp and F1’s, the Aero X1 is a great choice when fitted with the Super Power Kit and will cope with large elastics and hard fighting fish. Fit the lighter Super Match Kit and it will immediately enhance your silver fish fishing on both lakes and rivers.

The versatile performance of the Aero X1 benefits directly from the development program used whilst designing the Aero Pro. A combination of high quality Japanese carbon and advanced tapers makes this a great choice if you want versatility and strength at a mid-range cost. The Aero X1 contains a range of features that reinforce Shimano’s commitment to producing the very best, irrespective of price. Aero Joint is a reinforcement that improves longevity, Aero Alignment System maximises stiffness and Shimano Ultra Sound Finish delivers super smooth shipping in all conditions. Plus, all stated lengths are completely accurate when fitted with the extension, so you can be sure you are getting what you pay for. You’ll also notice that reinforcing bands have been built into the top kits enabling you to fit your own preference of puller kit. As a final advantage, whilst the larger sections are not interchangeable with the more expensive Aero X5, X7 or Pro poles, the top kits are, enabling you to buy additional kits to complement the great value X1 pole package.
