The Artiesta series offers a range of seven rod models tailored to different fishing scenarios and preferences. One of the standout features across the lineup is the use of 45-ton Japanese prepeg Toray blanks, comprising 95% graphite. This material choice ensures a perfect balance of sensitivity, strength, and responsiveness, essential for detecting subtle bites and delivering precise casts.Each Artiesta is carefully constructed with attention to detail. The use of graphite wrap with a semi-gloss finish further enhances the rods' durability while maintaining a sleek appearance.One of the defining characteristics of the Artiesta rods is their handle design. Machined aluminium components, combined with custom carbon hoods and shaped EVA grips, offer ergonomic comfort and exceptional grip even in wet conditions. The incorporation of wind checks and Fuji SKSS, painted in black gloss, adds to the rods' aesthetic appeal and functionality.
Kairiki 6lb 150m - Green
Kairiki 8 from Shimano adopts the new VT construction braiding technology. Featuring 8 carriers and incorporating premium Japanese manufacturing, the new tight weave VT construction is created through applying high tension at opposing directions during the braiding process. During the VT Construction Method, the braid fibre is woven evenly at all angles – resulting in a smoother finish and reduced diameter. The casting performance of the line is significantly improved as the smooth finish creates less friction through the guides and cast noise is also reduced. The tight weave achieves enhanced sensitivity achieved through the lower stretch. These attributes make Kairiki 8 an excellent choice when high sensitivity and castability are all required to give that extra edge against your target species.
