Shimano Rod Cardiff AX Spinning 1.88m 6'2'' 0.5-4.5g 2pc

Description 

The Cardiff AX is the most advanced range of trout areas in Shimano's range. Built using the finest, most advanced blends of carbon, these superb rods offer sublime performance across the range and take trout rods to a new dimension of excellence. The Cardiff AX is a rod for serious trout anglers. If you appreciate the little intricacies that add up to more than the sum of its parts, then the Cardiff AX is for you. You're sure to appreciate the stunning, ultra-smooth parabolic action, with its near-elastic properties of forgiveness. And you'll be amazed at how a rod this sensitive and light can cast your lures with laser-like accuracy. But it's the feeling you get when a trout takes your bait that is most defining, as the Softube Top technology gives you an almost imperceptible, but very real amount of extra time to set the hook before the pressure even the most on their wary trout warns. The ultra-lightweight blanks of the Cardiff AX are made from a mix of Spiral X and Hi-Power X carbon. These advanced carbon technologies work together to reduce rotational twist when the rod is bent during casting or fishing, resulting in greater accuracy and a more parabolic fighting curve. The addition of Shimano's Softube Top increases sensitivity without adding extra weight, resulting in better balance and an improved overall feeling of lightness. As expected from a rod of such quality, the fittings are of the highest order, with lightweight Fuji Titanium and stainless steel SiC K-type guides, an exclusive Shimano Ci4+ reelseat to complement the sleek blanks and the finest quality cork handles.
