The Aspire TE is a premium range of telescopic rod blanks designed for the angler who wants to custom build their rods to their exact requirements. Built using the finest carbon technology, the Aspire TE has the perfect action for competition level Bolognese fishing.
If you are the type of angler who prefers to custom build your Bolognese rods, and are looking for the finest blanks to work with, the Aspire TE models are sure to impress. Available in 5.90m and 6.90m lengths, in both Medium (8-18g) and Heavy (15-25g), these stunning blanks offer an ultra fast tip action, which casts superbly and more importantly picks line off the water with remarkable speed when striking into a fish, or when controlling the line between the rod tip and the float. The perfect choice for serious competition anglers who want the very best.
Each Aspire TE blank is constructed from Shimano’s exclusive Spiral X carbon, enhanced by Nano Pitch technology. This technically advanced carbon is not only ultra lightweight and strong, it also reduces twisting when bent, creating a more efficient and pure action. The addition of Hi-Power X carbon in the fine diameter, sensitive tips enhances the action further by increasing torsional rigidly. This improves the direction of force when casting and fish-playing ensuring maximum control. The Medium action rods will cover the majority of competition requirements, whilst the Heavy action models are ideal for the largest Bolognese floats or when powerful fish are likely to be encountered.
