Shimano Teramar XX Southwest Casting Rods Review

Utilizing some of the most advanced rod manufacturing technologies to set a new gold standard the Shimano Teramar XX Southwest Casting Rods are the ultimate technique-specific series of rods for Gulf Coast anglers. These rods offer powers actions and features that cater to popular techniques used in... the Gulf region for targeting redfish speckled trout flounder and other inshore game fish. The fast parabolic actions of the Teramar XX SW load deep into the backbone to ensure treble hooks and light wire jig hooks wont pull out while still having plenty of power to handle hard fighting fish. The Teramar XX SW Rods are built on blanks featuring Shimanos highly touted Spiral-X and Hi-Power X construction. Spiral X construction consists of multiple layers comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions resulting in enhanced torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This construction results in an extremely responsive rod that allows for instant power transmission and greatly enhances fish fighting capabilities. Spiral X blanks are 250% more structurally rigid and 180% less prone to twisting than standard blank construction. These state-of-the-art blanks are fitted with premium quality components including Fuji FazLite Guides and split grip handles composed of EVA foam and AA cork.
