Shimano Tribal TX Marker Intensity Spod & Marker Rod | 5.0 lb - 13ft / 3.96m
The very best Japanese rod blank technologies for the first time used in a spod rod - TX Intensity Spod & Marker. Extremely powerful, extremely accurate. According to Shimano's testers: “the best spod rod ever built”.
The Spiral X Core rod blank construction improves blank strength, makes the blank lighter and removes blank twist + ovalisation. This results in powerful and extremely accurate casting which is big advantage when you are spodding on big distance.
All TRIBAL TX models feature Intensity actions in addition to the normal range of test curves. Intensity models have been developed for maximum casting performance and use a range of different carbons blends (depending on price) and advanced tapers, to harness the power of the cast.
The handles are also longer (70cm) than standard rods of the same length, to help generate more tip speed during the cast. Intensity rods have been designed for maximum casting performance using a 3oz (85g) to 5oz (142g) lead, with the optimum weight being 4.5oz (128g).
