SHIMANO POLE TECHNOLOGY  
 
POLE TECHNOLOGY
 

Shimano’s comprehensive range of rods and poles offer something for each and every angling discipline and represent the very best in experience, technology and manufacturing excellence. Now as technologically advanced and widely accepted as our reels, teaming them up creates the perfect combination. Well balanced, precise and so comfortable in use, they feel like an extension of your arm. Just add water, a Shimano reel and line for the ultimate angling experience.
POLE CONSTRUCTION
SHIMANO ALIGNMENT SYSTEMSHIMANO ALIGNMENT SYSTEM
Every pole angler craves optimum performance and maximum life from their investment. The Shimano Alignment System gives you a visual guide for perfect section alignment.
SHIMANO TIP SAVING SYSTEM (S.T.S. SYSTEM)
SHIMANO TIP SAVING SYSTEM (S.T.S. SYSTEM)The Shimano Tip Saving System can be found on selected Shimano poles and ensures that if you buy a 16m pole, you fish with a 16m pole! A larger internal diameter on the tip section means you won’t have to trim your pole back to accommodate thick or hollow elastics.
SHIMANO DOUBLE JOINT SYSTEM (S.D.J. SYSTEM)
Selected Shimano poles have an extra short extension. This extension ensures that the 13 metre model can be always be used at exactly 13 metres (the international C.I.P.S. regulation for international tournaments). The section can be used at the end of the 13m and 14.5m section.
SHIMANO REINFORCED JOINT SYSTEMREINFORCED JOINT SYSTEM
Pole owners are rightfully concerned about the speed at which key joints wear out. Shimano have paid special attention to this critical area, the result being Reinforced Joint System. A hardwearing yet smooth moving finish that’ll keep you fishing for longer.
SHIMANO ULTRA SOUND SANDING SYSTEMULTRA SOUND SANDING SYSTEM
Originally developed for the Technium pole and now available on the majority of Shimano’s poles, this unique process results in a finish that is silky smooth for frictionless shipping and unshipping in both hot and wet conditions. It also provides great grip for breaking down sections and playing fish.
SHIMANO XT300 LRC (LOW RESIN CONTENT) CARBONXT300 LRC (LOW RESIN CONTENT) CARBON
Highly advanced carbon fibre technology. Stiff and light due to a decrease of 20% resin content yet strong enough for heavy-duty use.
SHIMANO TCURVETCURVE
The unique Shimano Tcurve process combines special graphite cloth with a revolutionary resin formula and manufacturing technique. The three-ply weave undergoes a clinical curing process to produce a unique ‘Dynamic’ blank with massive pressure thresholds.  Unlike others, Tcurve resin molecules retain elasticity after the manufacturing process. The outcome is 20-40% more compression resistance than regular carbon, meaning any Shimano rod bearing the Tcurve logo packs significant hidden power reserves, perfect for specimen and commercial carping applications.
SHIMANO HYPERLOOP SYSTEMHYPERLOOP
This remarkable breakthrough in composite carbon fibre blank technology has enabled Shimano to build top performing products at entry-level prices. Hyperloop rods are some of the lightest, stiffest and most durable in their price category.

POWER AND CONTROL

By introducing the Master Concept, Shimano is offering a wide array of rods, covering a multitude of fishing techniques and budgets. Each “master” has its’ own unique characteristics but all represent the very best in their relevant price categories.


Extreme Strength with Lightness

Fish Playing Made Easy
Shimano Forcemaster rods combine
strength & performance with
unbeatable value for money.

BIOFIBRE
Biofibre is ‘state of the art’ in terms of rod construction and is 4 times stronger than any other carbon material. It involves the random distribution of ‘non woven’ biofibres and mid-short fibres that don’t cross each other, but ‘float’ in an elastomeric (synthetic rubber) resin to reinforce the carbon fibres in all directions. This process produces amazing strength ensuring rods constructed using the Biofibre process are incredibly strong and durable. Because of the significant increase in strength, you would naturally assume that weight has been sacrificed to achieve this remarkable level of durability. You’ll therefore be even more surprised to learn that Biofibre is 2.4 times lighter than the lightest carbon fibre.

FINE CRYSTAL CARBON
Virtually unbreakable under normal use, Forcemaster rods are built using a unique carbon fibre known as Fine Crystal Carbon. Fine Crystal Carbon has a more compact structure than other carbons resulting in increased resilience.
