The Aero X5 Pole has been designed using the very latest Aero Pro mandrel and offers brilliant all-round versatility and performance at a mid-range price. Stronger and more robust than it’s more expensive brothers, it’s a great choice for anglers who fish mainly for carp and F1s.
The Aero X5 enables you to experience the latest design technology and features found in Shimano’s very best pole, at a greatly reduced price. Built on the same mandrel as the world class Aero Pro, but using a stronger, more robust carbon construction, the Aero X5 brings high performance to a wider audience. If you fish mainly for carp and F1’s, the Aero X5 is a great choice and is manageable at its full 16m length, whilst being almost indistinguishable from high-end poles at 13m or less.
Use the Super Power kits and the pole has a strong, robust feeling that enables you to catch large numbers of hard fighting fish with complete confidence. Fit the Super Match top kits and it is transformed into a great all-round silver fish pole that really excels at 13m international competition lengths. If you fish a lot of commercial waters stocked with F1’s, there are also two 1-piece Aero Pro F1 kits available separately that are rated to 14’s elastic and are designed for catching large weights of F1’s and smaller carp.
The versatile performance of the Aero X5 benefits directly from the development program used whilst designing the Aero Pro. A combination of strong robust carbon and enhanced tapers makes this a great choice for anglers wanting versatility and strength at a mid-range cost. Aside from its versatility and strength, the Aero X5 contains a range of features that reinforce Shimano’s commitment to producing the very best. 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 extensions, so you can be sure you are getting what you pay for. Elastic ratings on the top kits are accurate, and the packages available are extensive and comprehensive, with differing options tailored for full length 16m and 13m International competition use.
