Expride Casting 172MH2 218 cm 10-30g

The top-class spinning rod!

The Expride rod series radiates quality and is directly below the world-famous Poison Adrena in terms of its numerous technologies. When it comes to sensitivity and feedback, there is very little that comes close to the stunning Expride. Originally developed as bass rods, one immediately recognizes why we are so excited about the Expride rods. Those in search of a spinning or casting rod that meets the highest standards can stop looking now – the Expride rods leave nothing to be desired!

Whether it's light, medium, or large lures with the spinning or casting rod, the Expride range covers everything and shines with a sensitivity and feedback that hardly any other rod can match. Each model from the range is even available in two versions, as a 1+1 piece rod (one-piece with detachable handle) and as a classic 2-piece rod. You really are spoilt for choice.

The outstanding sensitivity and feedback of the Expride blanks are the result of two exclusive Shimano technologies. The High Modulus Full Carbon blanks are equipped with the Hi-Power X construction. This reduces blank twist during casting and in the fight, making the blank extremely responsive. This is complemented by the Carbon Monocoque handle, which transfers more information from the blank to the hand and provides an unprecedented insight into any contact of the lure with its environment underwater.

To further enhance the sensitivity and overall performance of the rod, the Expride is equipped with a Fuji SiC guide system and a lightweight Shimano Ci4+ reel seat for spinning or Baitcasting reels. And for those who think it couldn't get any better, they haven't yet experienced the breathtaking design that comes from the classic shiny black blank combined with the front cork grip and the Carbon Monocoque handle. One of the best rod designs we have ever seen.

In action, the Expride convinces all along the line. The 1-piece models have a blank with a one-piece main section that bends with a seamless fast action and is unsurpassed in its directness. The 2-piece models, on the other hand, are much more comfortable to transport and are hardly distinguishable in their action from the 1-piece models. Expride - one of our best rod series is now even better.
