Product Description
The Shimano Type-X Fishing Rod range is something we’re seriously proud of. This isn’t just another rod release — it’s a series that Hot Tackle worked closely on with Shimano Australia, fine-tuning each model to get the actions and performance exactly where they needed to be.
From the start, the goal was to build a rod range that could handle a wide mix of Australian fishing styles without compromising on performance. Whether you’re slow pitch jigging offshore, working jigs deep, casting stickbaits and poppers, fishing off the rocks or chasing fish from the beach, the Type-X range has been designed to cover it all.
The graphite blank construction delivers a strong, responsive and well-balanced feel in the hand. It’s light enough to fish comfortably over long sessions, but still has the power to handle serious fish when needed. Each model has been tuned to suit its specific application, so you’re not working against the rod when you’re fishing — it works with you.
A big focus during development was making sure the rods performed properly on the water, not just on paper. That meant going back and forward with Shimano to refine the actions until everything felt right. The end result is a rod that casts well, loads correctly and gives you the control you need across different techniques.
The Type-X range also incorporates key Shimano technologies while still keeping the price point realistic. You’re getting a high-performance rod that feels premium without stepping into the top-end price bracket.
Finished with clean cosmetics and built for real-world fishing conditions, the Shimano Type-X is a versatile, well-rounded rod range that reflects exactly how we fish here in Australia.
