Shimano Iso Entou AX

Shimano Iso Entou AX is a standard long-distance iso rod series designed to balance casting distance, handling and power. The blanks feature Shimano's Spiral X structure, combining a sharp casting feel with the strength required for long-distance float and basket fishing.

The rod actions are designed for accurate casting toward offshore current lines, effective line mending in crosswinds and the power to quickly bring fish toward the surface. The lineup covers a wide range of regional long-distance basket-fishing styles, including conventional basket fishing, Taru Kago, light basket fishing and heavy-line applications.

The flexible 2. 5-530 features a fine tip and shorter reel-seat position for Taru Kago and light basket fishing, while the lineup also includes models designed for powerful long-distance casting with thick nylon line.

Spinning models in sizes 3 through 5 use a guide hold system on sections #1 and #2 for high-load casting. Spiral X improves torsional and crush rigidity while maintaining low weight, supporting precise casting, rapid retrieval and efficient fish fighting.

CI4+ is also used as a lightweight, high-strength material.
