Description

The Shimano 23 Backbone Elite Overhead Game Rod is totally redesigned with reengineered rod taper actions to meet the demanding requirements of offshore game fishing right across the country. Built on a single-piece constructed rod blank utilising Shimano's latest TC4 material, this rod delivers the power, strength and stability required for battling Australia's toughest offshore gamefish. The long foregrip EVA delivers a comfortable grip even with wet hands, ensuring control during extended battles. Premium AFTCO guides, whether fixed standard guides, roller tip or fully rollered configurations, provide exceptional line management and durability for heavy-duty applications. The durable Slick Butt design makes it convenient to remove a loaded-up rod from the holder, whilst anodised aluminium reel seats and gimbals complete a highly capable package ready for serious offshore game fishing.
