Shimano Aero X7 Precision 60 g

The AERO x7 range is a brand new line of rods for match fishing. Each rod in this series has been rigorously tested by a team of professionals and product developers to achieve the perfect blank actions, balance, responsiveness, strength, guide setting, and quiver tip actions. This has resulted in the ultimate feeder rod series for competitive anglers who demand the best from their equipment. The rods have been developed to perfection and feature unique characteristics that will enhance the angler's experience.

High Pressure Carbon (HPC) is a process that creates stronger, more reactive blanks. Pressure is applied to the surface of the blank during curing, which evenly distributes the resin throughout the carbon fiber matrix. The result is a much stronger, more consistent performance and better reactivity.

XT Carbon is used in the entire range of Shimano rods. The number following the XT (XTI 00) indicates the quality of the carbon fiber used. The higher the number, the stronger the carbon. When different types of carbon are combined to create the required action, both numbers will be displayed (XT60/40).

Nano Carbon technology is used to make rod blanks that are, on average, 35% stronger and 15% lighter than conventional rod blanks. The core of a Nano cane blank is made of a Nano carbon sheet. This sheet has a special weave that allows for a small amount of resin to be used, which spreads in very small (nano) particles throughout the sheet. This creates lightness, strength, and responsiveness in the blank.
