Shimano Terez Offshore Fishing Rod

Shimano Terez Offshore Fishing Rods

The Shimano Terez range brings spin, overhead, dedicated jigging and offshore casting rods together in one family. With 23 options in this listing, the right choice starts with how you fish, not simply whether a rod is labelled medium or heavy.

Choose your reel configuration first, then match the model to your line class and intended lure or jig weight. A dedicated jigging rod and a stickbait rod do different jobs, even when their line ratings overlap.

Choosing between spin, overhead and jigging models

• Spin: Designed for spinning reels, with options suited to soft plastics, offshore lure fishing, live baiting, stickbaiting and topwater casting.

• Cast and overhead: Designed for overhead reels, primarily suited to offshore bottom fishing, live baiting and heavy-tackle applications.

• Jig: Purpose-built for vertical jigging, with dedicated spin and overhead models. Match the jig-weight rating to your fishing depth, current and preferred jigging technique.
