Shimano, a renowned pioneer in fishing gear innovation, is excited to introduce the highly anticipated Zodias Travel Rod series. These groundbreaking fishing rods come equipped with advanced features that redefine sensitivity and portability standards, providing an exceptional angling experience to enthusiasts nationwide.

Crafted with a carbon monocoque grip, the Zodias Travel Rods deliver a heightened level of sensitivity surpassing conventional fishing rods. This state-of-the-art technology enables anglers to detect even the subtlest strikes, elevating their ability to identify bites and enhance their overall catch rate. The rod's hollow structure guarantees unparalleled lightness, further boosting its responsiveness and maneuverability.

Shimano Zodias Travel Rod 23 Features

- Carbon monocoque: Carbon Monocoque grip is a carbon-molded grip that is lightweight with high sensitivity, transferring even the smallest vibration to an angler’s hand. The Carbon Monocoque Grip increases sensitivity by 30% compared to traditional rod handles and utilizes a hollow structure that eliminates unnecessary parts of the rear grip to improve weight reduction and vibration transmission.
- Hi-Power X: Hi-Power X construction uses diagonally-wrapped carbon tape to form an array of "X" shapes on the rod blank's outermost layer. 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. This manufacturing process 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 for the angler.
- CI4+: CI4 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. While improving lightness and rigidity, reel bodies, rotors and reel seats built with CI4+ are further reduced in size and weight.
