ABYSS Rods

The Shimano ABYSS range of 7 blue water rods have utilized only the best rod building technology available that has created a dynamic, lightweight yet very strong tamer of the powerful blue water species like kingfish, bass, hapuku, tuna, billfish and the mighty broadbill swordfish.

The design brief from the top was clear - engineer a series of rods that not only look the business cosmetically from the tip to the butt section but must complete MSL tests of well over specified line ratings at 45° and 60° respectively, also, the Shimano ABYSS range needed to be able to handle the tough rigours of day-to-day charter work - no easy task!!

We have added a PE5 spin and overhead jig rod to the Shimano Abyss range for 2018
