The Shimano Status Deep Drop Overhead Rod are made to stand up to the pressure of deepwater fishing. These bent butt swivel tip rods are made with high power carbon and E-Glass blank technology, so they won't break under pressure. The ergonomic aluminum bent butt helps you get the perfect angle when you're waiting for bites or taking on tough deep water fish like bass and blue nose. A great choice for an affordable deep drop rod, and a good option for pairing with a Shimano electric reel.
