Shimano Tiralejo XX Surf Rods

Tiralejo XX: The pinnacle of surf-casting performance.

The flagship Tiralejo XX series of surf rods set the standard for surf-casting performance with proven powers and actions enhanced by leveraging Shimano’s patented rod technologies to improve overall angler performance.

Tiralejo XX rods incorporate Shimano’s proprietary Spiral X and Hi-Power X technologies to enhance power transmission through the rod blank for increased casting distance and accuracy. This combination of blank technologies also provides unsurpassed sensitivity while delivering incredible lifting power with reduced blank ovalization during tough battles with large fish in heavy currents. Featuring Fuji SiC guides for optimal casting performance and durability, Tiralejo XX rods feature a Fuji DPS reel seat with a locking nut for added security while casting heavy baits and lures in harsh conditions. A custom ergonomic grip improves function and comfort during those long days in the surf.

SPIRAL X
Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano’s patented Spiral X construction enhances catching power for anglers. Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a middle layer of vertical fibers as well as inner and outer layers, 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 compression rigidity and increased torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fish fighting.

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.
