Shimano Zodias 7' 5" 12-25lb Heavy Baitcast Rod
In 2020, the Zodias JDM series has undergone a significant upgrade and now features Shimano’s exclusive Carbon Monocoque butt for the ultimate in sensitivity and finesse. The full Carbon Monocoque rod butt is made of a hollow carbon construction, eliminating the use of EVA from the rear grip and improving vibration transmission through the rod blank to your hand when working a lure. Shimano testing has found rod sensitivity has been improved by 30%. To provide perfect balance between power and finesse, the 2020 Zodias series continues to feature Shimano’s Hi-Power X graphite blank and Ci4+ Reel Seat. The new Zodias series now comes with upgraded Fuji Stainless Alconite K guides with a SiC tip. There are 12 models in the Zodias series that have been engineered with specifically tuned actions for a range of lure fishing styles. The new range of rods come in both spin and baitcast, and vary line ratings and actions. The rods are finished with slick red and black cosmetics that make the perfect match for many Shimano reels.

This is an amazing rod, get it while you can.
Rod is awesome not too soft and not too hard which makes it feels every bite and when fish on the rod can handle with ease. Using a 4000 reel which balances it out and casting is a breeze.The only downside is as a 2 piece only the handle can be removed not in the middle and this makes it difficult to put inside the car, total length is 6 foot which i find is too long.
Great rod , awesome sensitivity and overallHas held up great. Looking foward to adding another to the collection.
I bought the Zodias MH 7' to replace a broken Shimano Cumara. Initially I didn't expect anything to match the perfection of the Cumara. BUT....this rod is a very very wothy successor to that rod. The looks of this rod alone are MIND BLOWING. Top that off with the weight and the fact that this blank is the most "Crisp" feel to a rod I have ever touched. Super rigid without being overpowering. I can't really explain the feel of this rod, you would have to touch it. I put a Shimano Scorpion on the rod and my goodness I look for excuses to use this thing. Get you one of these.... SO WORTH THE MONEY!
Great craftsmanship. Looks like a Jdm rod. Unfortunately made in China. Light tip with a strong backbone. Good single hook rod for jigs and swim-baits.
Great Murray Cod STICK. So light and well balanced. Casting all day is NO PROBLEM.
Great rods. I use the ultra light version.I have 2 of them. Broke one. My fault. Poking a lure off a snag. Replaced it with same.Ideal for EP lure fishing.
