26 Zodias

The exclusive JDM rod!

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

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

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

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

From fine finesse presentations to large lures, the 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 precision, and allows for optimal power transfer throughout the entire rod. The result is more casting distance, better control, and precise bait presentation – even with thin braid.

It allows for powerful hook sets and control when using large spinnerbaits and simultaneously increases sensitivity and precision in vertical fishing or when casting far with softbaits.

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

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

At the same time, the rod provides precise control when aggressively working Twitchbaits or Jerks.

The matte blank additionally reduces weight, while smaller Fuji-Alconite rings with optimized spacing ensure balanced balance, optimal line protection, and disturbance-free casting with thin braid.

Combining modern design, precise regular and fast-action tapers, and advanced Carbon-technology, the Zodias delivers a 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 perch and zander to powerful models for fishing with larger lures for pike and asp.
All models are two-piece constructed, offering high flexibility, transportability, and versatility for a variety of fishing situations.
