Shimano MASTER TUNE Series – Precision and Power for Technical Rock Fishing

Advanced Core Blanks for Superior Performance

The Shimano MASTER TUNE series incorporates advanced core blanks that enhance torsional and crush strength, providing greater stability when fighting fish. The Spiral X Core construction ensures a smooth and resilient bend, while the Parabola Tune R+ technology eliminates stiffness between rod sections. The lightweight X Guide system improves maneuverability and reduces line trouble, maximizing the rod's performance.

Tailored Actions for Different Fishing Styles

The MASTER TUNE series offers six models, each with specific actions suited to various fishing styles. The 1.0 class features a parabolic action ideal for delicate presentations with fine leaders, targeting cautious fish in competitive areas. The 1.2 class provides a balanced action that facilitates precise bait placement and effective line control, suitable for a wide range of conditions. The 1.5 class is designed with a fast tip action for aggressive fishing, allowing anglers to maintain control from casting to landing, especially effective for long-distance casting and handling larger fish.

Ergonomic Elastomer Grip for Enhanced Control

Equipped with an elastomer grip, the MASTER TUNE rods offer improved stability during one-handed fights. The grip conforms to the angler's arm, reducing rod wobble and preventing slippage, ensuring a secure and comfortable hold even in challenging conditions.

Versatile Lineup for Diverse Fishing Scenarios

The MASTER TUNE series includes models in 1.0, 1.2, and 1.5 classes, each available in 5.0m and 5.3m lengths. This variety allows anglers to choose the optimal rod based on their target species, fishing environment, and personal preferences, making the series adaptable to various rock fishing situations.

Shimano's Commitment to Innovation

Building upon the legacy of high-end models like the ISO LIMITED, the MASTER TUNE series embodies Shimano's dedication to innovation and quality. By integrating cutting-edge technologies and thoughtful design, these rods deliver exceptional performance, meeting the demands of discerning anglers seeking precision and power in their fishing endeavors.
