Shimano Super Aero Technium 3 Pc Surf Rod

has anyone tried one of theese or has any comments

I had a look at that rod in the shimano catalogue, it looks like a good rod alright. I am sure I read a post on the rod somewhere before, it might on been on another forum. I will give a quick search.

thanks john did a search myself but coulnt find anything

Hi Derek,

It was on the worldseafishing forum I saw it. A guy asked the question and nobody had ever used one but had seen them in tackleshops alright.

Probably a rod that is used alot in Japan.

i seem to remember sea angler mag did a test on it with other long fixed spool rods ,i think it was the best by miles and the most expensive by miles ?

I own a pair of them and they are lovely rods for fishing with 120 to 150 grs with thin lines ( from 0.18 to 0.28 ) not for fat line. they have fuji low ryder rings and fuji reel seat for fixed spool. you have a sof(cx)200 grs max, hard(bx) 250grs max and extra hard(xxxb)300grs max action. They cast very well with OTG not overhead. Cause you must to use it with thin lines is for clean beaches, and if you have big fisht must to have a good break in your reel. This rods is not for multipler reels, try it with good Shimano(ultegra,Aerotecnium,Poer aero...) or Daiwa(basia, tournament..) reel.
