Shimano Abyss SW Stand Up Roller Tip Game Rod 5ft 6in 30-50lb 2pc

Handles tough challenges

The Shimano Abyss SW Stand Up Roller Tip Game Rod comes from
the Shimano Abyss range of blue water-centric rods, which have
utilised the best rod-building technology available. This has led
to a range of dynamic, lightweight but very strong rods, that can
tame the most powerful species like Kingfish, Bass, Hapuku, Tuna,
Billfish and Broadbill Swordfish.

The design brief from the top was clear – engineer a series of rods
that not only look the business cosmetically from the tip to the
butt section but must complete MSL tests of well over specified
line ratings at 45 degrees and 60 degrees respectively, also, the
Shimano ABYSS range needed to be able to handle the tough rigours
of day-to-day charter work – no easy task! So Shimano NZ in
conjunction with Tony Orton from Offshore Adventures testing began
and with only minor tweaks from the first cut samples the Shimano
ABYSS range was born. Literally hundreds of hard fighting kingfish,
hapuku, huge sharks and billfish have been caught using the entire
Shimano ABYSS range of rods!
