Shimano Record Chaser

Shimano Record Chaser is a big-game shore rod series developed for anglers pursuing record-class fish from rocky shores. Rather than being dedicated to a single method, it combines Shimano's iso-rod and surf-casting technologies to support a wide range of approaches including kibinago free-line fishing, basket fishing, live-bait fishing, drifting presentations and bottom fishing.

Spiral X Core reinforces the blank against bending, twisting and crushing forces for powerful fights with large fish, while the relatively short lengths help reduce physical load and improve control. A V-Hold front grip and detachable EVA fighting bottom further support demanding fights, and the highly visible white-painted tip improves visual bite detection.

The telescopic spinning models 480XH, 450XXH and 450XXXH use the Total Guide Hold System and large-diameter stainless-frame SiC K guides for heavy lines and high-load casting. The 435XXH/4 is a four-piece parallel-joint spinning model with larger guides for thick line and leader knots, combining improved line passage with a maneuverable 4.

35 m length and enough versatility to cover shore plugging. B425XXXH is a telescopic baitcasting model with a multi-point K-guide layout designed to reduce blank contact and distribute load during high-drag fights.

The 480XH is the longest and most flexible model, emphasizing drifting techniques and casting distance. The 450XXH is the versatile core model for both drifting and heavier sinker applications.

The 450XXXH provides the strongest power among the spinning telescopic models for exceptionally large fish and live-bait fishing. The 435XXH/4 emphasizes hand-held control and rapid pressure application, while B425XXXH combines maximum-class power with a short 4.

25 m configuration for aggressive standing fights with baitcasting reels.
