Spiral X Core is Shimano's newest and most advanced blank construction technology. By integrating Spiral X carbon tape construction with Toray Nanoalloy® technology, Spiral X Core constructed blanks benefit from up to 10% more torsional rigidity and up to 15% more compressional rigidity than rods built with Spiral X. Shimano is unique to the market by applying by high-strength carbon tape with this unique and patented Spiral X construction.

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.

HI-POWER X FULL SOLID is a reinforced full solid blanks with the SHIMANO carbon tape construction. The outermost layer of the full solid blanks is reinforced with HI-POWER X carbon tape, and suppresses shaking and power loss due to twisting without hindering the delicate bending of the full solid blanks. This structure will be eliminating the uncomfortable feeling caused by torsion, which is a common problem with full-solid rods, and provides a smooth rod action.
