26 Zodias

The exclusive JDM rod!

Proven worldwide - the extremely popular Zodias is part of the exclusive JDM series by Shimano and was developed for predatory fish anglers who expect more from their gear.

With its distinctive stealth matte finish and the unmistakable Japanese design, this rod series opens up versatile possibilities for precise and controlled fishing for pike, bass, walleye, and other predators.

Originally designed in Japan for bass fishing, the new Zodias has been specifically advanced to unleash even more performance in freshwater spinning.

The improved balance and reduced weight are immediately noticeable and allow for longer, fatigue-free fishing with precise lure control.

From fine finesse presentations to large baits, Zodias offers versatility without compromise.

The Zodias series is based on the proven Hi-Power X Carbon-technology from Shimano, which reduces blank twists, improves casting accuracy, and allows optimal power transmission throughout the rod. The result is greater casting distance, better control, and precise lure guidance - even with thin braid.

It enables powerful hook sets and control when using large spinnerbaits, while also increasing sensitivity and precision in vertical fishing or long casts with soft baits.

Every detail is designed with a focus on functionality. The lightweight CI4+ reel seat perfectly complements the Carbon Monocoque handle, ensuring the highest sensitivity and directly transmitting even the finest vibrations to the hand.

The low weight ensures comfortable handling over longer periods, while the secure reel seat and direct feedback are essential for detecting subtle bites in deeper or flowing water.

At the same time, the rod offers precise control when aggressively working twitchbaits or jerks.

The mattified blank further reduces weight, while smaller Fuji Alconite rings with optimized ring spacing ensure balanced balance, optimal line protection, and trouble-free casting with thin braid.

By combining modern design, precise regular and fast-action tapers, and advanced Carbon-technology, the Zodias delivers performance that significantly exceeds its price range.

Available in 4 casting and 9 spinning models, the series covers the entire spectrum - from fine finesse techniques for bass and walleye to powerful models for fishing with larger baits for pike and asp.
All models are two-piece construction, offering high flexibility, transport friendliness, and versatility for a variety of fishing situations.
