Spinning rod SHIMANO Zodias solid tip

Shimano Zodias Spinning, a high-performance JDM rod for lure fishing

A rod developed for technical lure fishing

The Zodias Spinning is part of Shimano's JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) range, renowned for its equipment designed to the demanding standards of Japanese anglers. Originally developed for largemouth bass fishing, this series adapts perfectly to modern European predator fishing techniques.

Light, balanced and very responsive, it offers excellent comfort of use and allows precise animation of a wide variety of lures.

Hi-Power X technology for power and precision

At the heart of the Zodias lies the Hi-Power X technology developed by Shimano. This specific blank construction improves energy transfer during the cast while limiting rod twist.

This technology enables more precise and longer casts, while maintaining better blank control during the fight with fish.

Maximum sensitivity thanks to the Carbon Monocoque grip

The Zodias benefits from Shimano's exclusive Carbon Monocoque rear grip. This design replaces the traditional grip with a hollow carbon structure that transmits vibrations directly into the angler's hand.

Combined with the CI4+ reel seat specially designed for this series, this configuration considerably improves sensitivity and allows you to feel the slightest bite or variation in the lure's action.

A complete range for all techniques

The Zodias Spinning series offers several models covering a wide range of lure fishing techniques. From Ultra Light models designed for finesse techniques such as drop shot or small soft lures, to more powerful models capable of working larger lures.

Some models, such as the ULS2, are fitted with a TAFTEC Alpha carbon tip that further improves sensitivity and detection of the most subtle bites.
