Shimano Salty Advance Offshore Model
Shimano Salty Advance Offshore Model is a versatile and affordable offshore saltwater rod series designed to make boat-based lure fishing accessible to beginners while delivering the performance and precision appreciated by experienced anglers. The comprehensive lineup covers conventional jigging, light jigging, super light jigging, blade jigging, Tai Rubber fishing, metal sutte squid fishing, tip eging and boat wind fishing.
Each model is engineered around the specific demands of its technique, providing an appropriate balance of sensitivity, lure control, strength and ease of handling. Shimano K Guides help reduce PE line tangling during casting and lure operation, improving reliability and fishing comfort.
Most models also feature refined reel-seat nut rings that secure the reel firmly while reducing discomfort from exposed plastic components; this feature excludes the JIGGING S60-3 and S60-4 spinning models. The JIGGING B60-3, B60-4, S60-3 and S60-4 models offer powerful 1.
83 m blanks for targeting yellowtail, amberjack, kingfish and other strong pelagic species. The 60-3 models are designed for approximately 70 m or deeper fishing areas, while the more powerful 60-4 models handle approximately 90 m or deeper conditions and fish around the 10 kg class.
LIGHT JIGGING B63ML and S63ML feature responsive 1. 91 m blanks for comfortably working metal jigs when targeting red sea bream, hairtail, seabass, yellowtail and other offshore species.
SUPER LIGHT JIGGING S66UL is a lightweight 1. 98 m spinning model designed for finesse presentations with relatively light PE line and jigs around 60 g, suitable for isaki, red sea bream, horse mackerel, mackerel, rockfish and smaller pelagic fish.
BLADE JIGGING S70-0 and S68-1 are specialized spinning models for casting and high-speed retrieving blade jigs when targeting Spanish mackerel and other fast-moving pelagic fish. The S70-0 emphasizes versatile handling and stable high-speed retrieval, while the S68-1 offers greater power for heavier lures and larger fish.
The three TAIRABA baitcasting models feature flexible Taftec Alpha long solid tips that absorb boat movement and help maintain consistent retrieval speed. Their highly visible white tips improve bite detection, while right-hand spiral guide layouts enhance stability under load and reduce line trouble.
B69ML-S is the lighter model, B69M-S provides balanced versatility, and B69MH-S accommodates heavier Tai Rubber rigs. The METAL SUTTE baitcasting series consists of B66ML-S, B66M-S and B66MH-S, offering progressively greater power for squid fishing at different depths and current strengths.
B66ML-S uses a flexible Taftec Alpha solid tip for delicate presentations around 5–60 m and beyond, B66M-S combines sensitivity and strength for approximately 10–80 m and beyond, and B66MH-S employs the firmer, sensitive Taftec solid tip for approximately 20–100 m and beyond, including stronger currents and heavier sinkers.
The METAL SUTTE/TIP EGING S66ML-S and S66M-S spinning models combine two squid-fishing techniques in one rod. The ML model features a supple Taftec Alpha tip for subtle presentations and lighter egi, while the M model uses a firmer Taftec tip for more active manipulation, heavier rigs and powerful squid.
BOAT WIND S74M+ is a versatile 2. 24 m spinning rod for boat-based jighead fishing, bottom-bouncing presentations for flatfish and darting wind techniques.
Its Softube Top combines tubular sensitivity with solid-tip-like flexibility, while its strong butt section provides dependable fish-fighting power. Across all 18 models, Salty Advance Offshore Model offers a carefully selected combination of specialized actions, practical technology and excellent value for a broad range of offshore lure-fishing applications.
