A true casting machine
The new Shimano Ultegra BX 425BXI Surfcasting Rod has an improved blank with Hi-Power X technology. This blank stands out in strength and stiffness whilst reducing blank twist, making this rod a true casting machine. The Ultegra BX is strong, stiff, yet light. The Hi-Power X blank provides excellent casting distance and accuracy. It's fitted with Fuji Lowrider Alconite guides and Fuji DPS reel seats, Fuji stainless steel SiC guide tip, plus Cast Control Grip that helps facilitate a strong hold when casting.
Hi-Power X
In Hi-Power X construction, the blank's outermost layer is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape, which forms an array of "X" shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control by the angler.
