Rod Yasei AX

November 2023

The Yasei range offers serious predator anglers custom designed specialised rods, developed for specific uses and species. They are built with high quality blanks and fitted with high quality components. The result is a range of specialised rods, designed specifically for targeting pike, zander, and perch, using the latest European techniques.
If you are looking for a specialised rod, to suit your preferred style of fishing, the Yasei should be an important consideration. Each model has been developed for a specific use, enabling you to select the perfect rod, without compromise. Combining high quality carbon with top quality fittings, the actions and balance of the Yasei range are superb and the modern, distinctive look inspires confidence, irrespective of which model you choose.
At the heart of each Yasei rod is a High Modulus Full Carbon blank built using Hi-Power X technology and Nano Alloy. This reduces blank twist when casting and playing fish and results in a very responsive feel. To further increase sensitivity and overall performance, the Yasei range is fitted with Fuji Alconite K-type guides and a Fuji reel seat to suit either Spinning or Baitcasting reels, depending on the model. All rods have a split grip EVA handle keeping this great looking range on trend with the latest developments.
Within the range there is something for many different European fishing styles. From ultra lightweight finesse models designed for perch and manufactured with ultra-sensitive solid TAFTEC tips, up to powerful Baitcasting models designed for the largest crankbaits and swimbaits when fishing for massive pike, there really is something for everyone.
With the Yasei tag line of ‘Every rod tells a story’ backing up the range, the only question you really must ask is how many models of this mid-priced superstar are you going to choose to fish with.

TECHNOLOGY

HI-POWER X
HI-POWERX_RD
HI-POWER X

Hi-Power X construction uses diagonally-wrapped carbon tape to form an array of "X" shapes on the rod blank's outermost layer. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. This manufacturing process allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control for the angler.
