The SABER MASTER XR TENBIN series is Shimano’s advanced rod lineup designed specifically for tenbin-style hairtail (tachi-uo) fishing, which demands high sensitivity, precise control, and the right balance of power to target hairtail in various water depths and conditions. From shallow summer fishing in Tokyo Bay to deeper waters and strong currents, this series provides models that match every approach.
These rods feature Shimano’s Spiral X Core blank construction for excellent torsional rigidity, sharp recovery, and reduced blank twist, giving anglers crisp bite detection and smooth hook sets even with subtle hairtail bites. The blanks are carefully tuned with a 7:3 action, delivering a sensitive tip for detecting delicate touches while maintaining the butt strength needed to handle large, powerful fish.
Whether you prefer light sinkers for shallow waters or heavier ones for deep or fast currents, the SABER MASTER XR TENBIN covers it all. Each model is available in right- and left-handle versions, giving anglers the flexibility to match their preferred reel setup.
In addition, the series adopts Shimano’s signature high-sensitivity carbon monocoque grip and corrosion-resistant guides, ensuring durability in saltwater and reliable performance during long sessions. Ideal for both casual and tournament anglers who want to push their tenbin tachi-uo fishing to the next level.
