Description
The Cardiff AX is the most advanced trout area range in the Shimano range. Built from the finest and most advanced carbon blends, these rods deliver sublime performance across the range and propel trout rods into a new dimension of excellence.The Cardiff AX is a rod for serious area trout anglers. If you appreciate the little subtleties that combine to create the perfect package, the Cardiff AX is the rod for you. You'll certainly appreciate the remarkable parabolic action and ultra smooth, almost elastic-like forgiveness qualities. And you'll be amazed at how such a sensitive, lightweight rod can cast your lures with such high precision. But it's the most decisive feeling you get when a trout takes your lure, because Softube Top technology gives you almost imperceptible, but very real, extra time to strike the hook before the pressure alerts even the most wary trout. Cardiff AX's lightweight ultra blanks are made from a blend of Spiral X and Hi-Power X carbon. These advanced carbon technologies combine to reduce blank twist when the rod is flexed while casting or fighting a fish, resulting in greater accuracy and true parabolic fighting action. The addition of Shimano 's Softube Top increases sensitivity without adding extra weight, resulting in better balance and an overall lighter feel. As you'd expect from a rod of this quality, the accessories are of the highest quality, with lightweight Type K rings in Fuji titanium and SiC stainless steel, an exclusive Shimano Ci4+ reel seat that complements the finesse of the blanks, and top-quality cork handles. There are 6 models of different lengths and powers, designed for spinning reels and a superb baitcasting model suitable for baitcasting reels in the Shimano FTB range.
