Designed by Shimano New Zealand with the intent to create a rod range that exceeds performance expectations of kiwi fisherman while offering light-tackle anglers with rod options that cover a broad range of popular fishing applications. The 24 Divergex baitcast rods feature a lightweight and responsive 24T carbon blank coupled with technique specific actions that have been fine-tuned specifically for New Zealand species and conditions. Quality componentry has been used throughout the build with Seaguide Zirconium guides, Shimano reel seats, durable EVA grips on all saltwater models, and high-sensitivity cork grips on all freshwater models.
