Shimano LIGHTGAME BB Moderato Series
Balanced Sensitivity and Versatility for Mid-Depth Game
The Shimano LIGHTGAME BB Moderato series is designed for anglers who demand smooth action, high sensitivity, and powerful mid-range control when targeting a variety of species from boats. Built to accommodate bait fishing and tenbin setups, it delivers excellent performance when fishing at moderate depths or targeting active fish in strong currents.
Moderato Action for Subtle Control
This series features a specially tuned "Moderato" action — a slightly slower taper that provides a softer, more forgiving bend. This allows for better hook retention when fighting sharp-pulling fish such as red seabream or tilefish. It also enhances bite detection when using small hooks and delicate rigs, making it ideal for situations where a responsive and adaptive rod action is essential.
High Power X Reinforced Blank
Each model is constructed with Shimano’s High Power X technology, which strengthens the rod by wrapping the blank in a carbon tape structure. This design reduces torsional twist and increases responsiveness, improving overall handling and bite control. Even during long drifts or heavy boat movement, the rod maintains excellent stability.
Ergonomic Grip and Hardware
Fitted with a durable and slim EVA grip, the LIGHTGAME BB Moderato ensures fatigue-free handling during long hours of fishing. The Fuji reel seat provides a secure fit for various baitcasting reels, while the stainless-steel frame Fuji guides reduce line friction for smoother casting and reeling.
Wide Application and Target Species
With models ranging from medium-light to medium-heavy ratings, this series is capable of targeting species such as red seabream, grunt, mackerel, tilefish, and more. It is suitable for both tenbin rigs and other vertical fishing setups, especially in coastal waters and moderate-depth areas.
As a BB-level offering, the LIGHTGAME BB Moderato provides excellent cost-performance balance. Anglers can enjoy Shimano’s advanced technologies and reliable quality in a rod that fits both the needs of beginners and the expectations of seasoned light-game enthusiasts.
