The Shimano Surf Leader Ultra 450BX Surfcasting
Rod is the new flagship surf rod in the Shimano range.
With Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank technology, this is the ultimate
surf rod with unbelievable distance and casting abilities.

The Spiral X construction results in reduced torsion and
ovalisation, while the Hi-Power X construction results in reduced
blank twist and greater rod strength. Overall this creates a very
strong, stiff and lightweight rod blank with incredible casting
performance (both distance and accuracy). The Surf Leader Ultra
comes in a 425cm length and is finished with Fuji SiC low rider
guides.

Spiral X Construction
Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a blank made of
vertical fibers, an inner layer, and an outer layer both comprised
of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite
directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional
horizontal fiber sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced torsional
rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates
instant power transmission for precise casting and fighting fish.
Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano’s Spiral X
construction enhances your “catching power.”

Hi-Power X
In Hi-Power X construction, the blank’s outermost layer is
diagonally wrapped with carbon tape, which forms an array of “X”
shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of
the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish
species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps
during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength
and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction
delivers sharp and crisp rod control by the angler.
