rods when optimum casting
performance is still required.
The new smaller sized Aero 2500 FA is ideal for anglers wanting the
benefits of the Aero concept in a smaller, lighter package. Perfect for many
styles of fishing, the new 2500 sized Aero balances lighter and shorter
rods more effectively than larger reels. This makes it the ideal solution for
commercial match and feeder rods, which are shorter than standard rods.
The oversized AR-C spool, combined with Aero Wrap II line
lay results in smoother more accurate casts, especially with
heavier mono, and the large diameter of the spool works more
efficiently with the front drag, especially at light settings.
The Aero 2500 comes in two retrieve speeds; the standard model
has a powerful 5.0:1 ratio that is perfect for playing hard fighting
fish, whilst the HG (high gear) model has a quick 6.0:1 ratio that

FIGHTIN’ DRAG
FIGHTIN’ DRAG
The Fightin’ Drag allows you to
quickly adjust the drag tension,
with a minimal amount of clicks
during the fight. This is especially
important when the drag has not
been set correctly and line is nearing
the breaking point, or you need to
put more pressure on the fish.
One of the most reliable ways to set
the drag of a reel with Fightin’ Drag
is to set the Fightin’ Drag leaver
to its maximum setting, and then
adjust the rear drag to the breaking
strength of the line. Then move
the Fightin’ Drag leaver back to its
central position. Now you can be
sure that even when the Fightin’
Drag is applied to the maximum
setting the line will not break.
Another advantage is that by
moving the Fightin’ Drag leaver
to its minimum setting it can
produce a semi free spool to
prevent breakages on the take.

THE EVOLUTION CONTINUES
For over 25 years Shimano Baitrunner has dominated the free-spool
reel market. Since their launch in the 1980s, Baitrunner reels have been
continuously improved and developed. For 2015 the Baitrunner evolution
take a giant leap forward with the launch of the new Baitrunner X-Aero
models. These new reels combine the traditional simplicity of the rear
Baitrunner free-spool leaver, with a much larger ‘Aero Concept’ spool.
The result of this evolution is noticeably better casting performance,
nearly matching that of some Big Pit type models and even better
fish-playing drag performance. Baitrunner X-Aero reels are available
in both large sized rear drag and smaller front drag versions.

The Aero Wrap II worm shaft oscillation system sets Shimano apart
from many of its competitors. By slowing down the oscillation
speed of the spool as it moves up and down, line is wrapped
onto the spool in a much smoother, more organized way.
The biggest benefit of this is that during a long cast, line comes off the
spool much easier, which reduces friction. This reduction in friction
combined with the AR-C spool, gives better performance in terms of
distance and accuracy. Super Slow oscillation, with its staggering 100

guide set-up, generates a superior casting performance and leaves the
competition playing ‘catch-up’ in this price category. The Geofibre material in

where good bite indication is needed without alarming the fish.

fishing is the most popular, active fishing style in Europe at the moment.
With minimal, lightweight gear such as the Shimano Diaflash AX or the

jigs or dropshot methods. With the lightweight Shimano Rarenium CI4+

SOFTBAIT RODS FOR PIKE AND PERCH
To fish softbaits correctly you need to create your own action on the
lure. To do this you need a lightweight rod, with a fast or extra-fast tip
action and the EVA handle spinning rods are the perfect choice.
The Japanese style blanks let you create lots of lure action and the
sensitive tips detect the slightest of bites, they also cast extremely well
letting you cover much more water than a more traditional spinning rod.
When using larger jig heads and softbaits, the stronger models with a
minimum casting weight of 15g will give you more control of the lure
and also the fish when you hook it. For perch, using smaller softbaits, the
lighter models will guarantee more action and much more enjoyment.

GOING THE
DISTANCE
Fishing at long range is often
required to reach feeding carp
on large waters and whilst good
casting technique is important,
so is using the correct tackle.
Most anglers know that a ‘Big Pit’
reel gives you more distance, but
they often overlook the rod, which is
actually the most important thing.
Most 3.5lb plus rods will cast a long
way, but for ultimate performance
the Shimano Tribal Intensity rods take
some beating. These rods have been
fine tuned especially for distance
casting and have special advanced
tapers, combined with a powerful butt
section, to create massive tip speed.
The result is faster lead speed during
the cast which improves distance,
irrespective of you casting ability.
Intensity models are available

For longer range fishing the Longcast

large quivertip guides to reduce

PELAGIC OFFSHORE
Spinning for Bluefin tuna needs a compromise between a soft tip and
brute force. Tuna often feed on very small prey (anchovies from 4 to
10cm in length) and do not attack large lures. You will often need to
300
cast a lure less than 40g a long way, and then have enough power to
fight one of the strongest fish in the ocean. The Pelagic Offshore rod
has been designed specifically to solve this difficult equation, a soft tip
to cast a long way and a strong butt to fish with 10kg of drag. This rod

power to cast large hardbaits and jigs up to 100g great distances. TWRPEL0711 2.40m 75cm 328g 8 4 100g

The Wild Romance Ferocious Solid has been designed to cast jerkbaits and

to provide the best performance and this was achieved using HPC300
carbon mixed with Biofibre. This combination dramatically enhances the
strength and also makes the rod much lighter. The addition of Steady Cast
WRFS711H 2.40m 124cm 189g 8 2 5-50g technology helps to cut-down on any unwelcome vibration when casting.
