MOONSHOT BS RODS

$229.99(RRP)
HI-POWER X
CI4+

High performance rod to enjoy inshore game close at hand.

MOONSHOT BS has been designed for saltwater inshore fishing using softbaits and small metal jigs. Offering remarkable value for such a quality rod, the MOONSHOT BS is one of Shimano's unsung heroes.

 

Reinforced structure reduces shaking and creates a comfortable casting feel. The Moonshot BS's performance that exceeds its class is supported by Shimano's unique reinforced structure, High Power X. The outermost layer of the thinner, lighter brushed blank is tightened in an X-shape with carbon tape to suppress lateral twisting, reduce blurring, dullness, and power loss, and pursue sharp operability. The cast feel, such as good swing-through and long-distance casting performance, has also been dramatically improved.

 

FEATURE Technology Details

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.


CI4+_RD
CI4+

CI4 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. While improving lightness and rigidity, reel bodies, rotors and reel seats built with CI4+ are further reduced in size and weight.
