Shimano Alivio Spinning Rod 8/9ft Key Features Equipped with Shimano hardlite guides Supplied with a cloth bag XT30 blanks Stainless Steel Hardlite construction
Since the company first started producing its revolutionary fishing reels in 1970, Shimano has been dedicated to producing fishing tackle for every angler. It meant that the brand operates at the top end of the tackle industry, as well as producing tackle items for anglers on a budget or for those just starting out in their fishing career.
This rod has been designed for the angler who doesn’t want to break the bank buying top end gear, but who still wants to enjoy all the benefits of Shimano’s famous high quality. The Alivio Spinning rod has been manufactured with an XT30 blank, which gives the rod a fast action and ensures that the rod profile is exceptionally slim. This means that the rod doesn’t just perform expertly, even when under the pressure of a hard fighting predatory fish, but it also looks great too. It is finished with a stunning flash of blue, just above the DPS type reel seat. This reel seat locks your spinning reel onto your rod in the perfect balanced position, ensuring that, should you find yourself locked in battle with a large or hard fighting fish, you’re able to play it with confidence. After all, confidence in your gear is often half the battle. The guides fitted to this Alivio DX Spinning rod are manufactured from Shimano’s Hardlite material. Hardlite is a stainless steel base coated in aluminium oxide, achieving the perfect balance between performance excellence and durability. These guides can be used with either mono or braided line, making this a very versatile rod package.
The 8ft rod has a casting weight of 10g to 30g, There is also a 9ft rod which has a casting weight of 14g to 40g range, which is the broadest of the set. For your middle of the road angling, the rod also comes with a 10g to 30g weigh rating.
The rod handle is finished with a cork grip, so you can tackle those aggressive takes with confidence. The cosmetics of this rod perfectly match the other rods in the Alivio DX series – so if you’re an angler who likes to have a matching set you can rest assured that this Alivio Spinning rod will look right in place. It also perfectly matches the Alivio reel and Shimano recommend pairing the two for a perfectly balanced spinning.
