ENCOUNTER

Equipped with SPIRAL X Achieves strength, lightness, and core suppleness.

The "ENCOUNTER" is a SHORE CASTING ROD that targets a wide variety of fish, including flounder, bluefish, and migratory fish, with sea bass as a representative target. Newly adopted SHIMANO's original technology "SPIRAL X" for further evolution of rod performance. Achieved both lightness and power while maintaining high strength. The increased rigidity of the torsion and crush also suppresses blurring and dullness, and provides a sharp feeling with a supple bend. The cast timing is easy to grasp, and the target of the hook can be controlled with the entire body, giving the lure an automatic feeling of performance. The items are available in a wide range of lengths and powers to accommodate a variety of lures. The lures can be used in all kinds of situations from near to far, including harbors, rivers, breakwaters, surf, and rocky shore.

FEATURE

Perfection sheet XT

The reel seat is shaped to be easy to grip even with light force by eliminating bumps as much as possible. This not only realizes a high holding feeling, but also contributes to weight reduction.

Stainless steel frame K guide.

For guide, a frame made of stainless material is adopted, which is resistant to rust and has excellent strength. Furthermore, the K-guide specification, which provides excellent trouble-free performance with PE line, is designed to allow even beginners to enjoy the game comfortably.

TECHNOLOGY

SPIRAL X
CI4+
SPIRALX_RD
SPIRAL X

Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's patented Spiral X construction enhances catching power for anglers. Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a middle layer of vertical fibers as well as inner and outer layers, both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fiber sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced compression rigidity and increased torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fish fighting.


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.
