Shimano Cardiff Exlead Compe 60SULT 0,4-4g

The Cardiff Exlead Competition is the most sensitive range of trout fishing rods on the market. Developed by our team of world champion competitors, these high-end fishing rods tackle all the techniques encountered during trout fishing competitions, fully leveraging advanced Shimano carbon technology. They are also ideal for ultra-light lure fishing targeting small predators, making the Cardiff Exlead Competition series a masterpiece of lightness.

The Cardiff Exlead Competition rods are designed for competition trout anglers who appreciate the subtle details that make a difference. Despite their undeniable sensitivity and lightness, they cast lures with great precision thanks to the blend of advanced Shimano carbon technologies, allowing better targeting of spots.

The ultra-light blanks of the Cardiff Exlead Competition are made with Spiral X Core technology and Nanopitch technology. These advanced carbon technologies combine to reduce rotational twist when the rod is compressed during casting or when retrieving the lure, resulting in greater precision and a soft action during the fight. The 60SULS model features a solid Taftec Infinity tip that allows for better feel and animating the lightest micro spoons. As expected from such a high-end rod, the ring train is equally impressive, featuring a combination of lightweight titanium Shimano X-Guide rings and Fuji SiC Titanium type K, an exclusive ultra-light ergonomic Shimano Ci4+ reel seat, and a Carbon Monocoque handle for maximum sensitivity and feedback. Each model is designed for a specific application, lure, and type of competition. Whether fishing with small spoons close to the bottom, jerkbaits on the surface, or crankbaits, the Cardiff Exlead Competition series includes a rod specially designed for each technique by our world champion trout fishing team.
