Shimano CROSSMISSION Series Overview
The Shimano CROSSMISSION series is a versatile lineup of offshore spinning and baitcasting rods designed for multi-style light offshore fishing. Developed with the concept of "cross-style versatility," this series supports a wide range of techniques such as tai rubber, light jigging, tip-run eging, and metal sutte squid fishing—all with one rod. Ideal for anglers who want to enjoy different types of fishing without switching rods, the CROSSMISSION series delivers high performance, sensitivity, and strength in a lightweight, responsive package.
Construction and Features
CROSSMISSION rods are built with Shimano’s advanced Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank technologies, which significantly improve strength, reduce twist, and increase sensitivity and control. This construction results in a solid yet light feel that enhances both casting and vertical lure action.
The rod lineup includes spinning and baitcasting models, with each featuring a solid tip structure that provides delicate bite detection while maintaining a sharp, fast-recovering action. Whether you’re fishing vertically in deep water or working a jig with light rhythmic lifts, the CROSSMISSION offers seamless lure handling and powerful hook-setting ability.
Each model is optimized for specific applications while retaining a wide range of usability, allowing anglers to handle multiple fishing styles such as madai, inchiku, light jigging, and squid games using one setup. The rods also support a wide weight range, accommodating various sea conditions and fishing depths.
Application and Performance
The CROSSMISSION series is perfect for anglers who want a multi-purpose rod for light offshore techniques. Whether targeting red seabream with tai rubber, exploring deep zones with metal sutte, or enjoying seasonal squid fishing with tip-run eging, this series is built to adapt.
Its sensitive solid tip ensures accurate bite detection, especially during slow retrieves or finesse fishing, while the reinforced butt section delivers the backbone required to fight mid-sized offshore species. The overall lightweight feel reduces fatigue, even during long hours of use, making it ideal for boat-based anglers.
With excellent performance across various techniques, CROSSMISSION is the perfect solution for light offshore anglers seeking both flexibility and reliability in one rod.
