Shimano Trout One Area Special

Trout One Area Special is designed for dedicated Area Trout anglers who fish with ultra-light lures and spoons. Built on Shimano Hi-Power X carbon blanks, it offers high sensitivity and casting precision while keeping weight extremely low in the hand.

The Softtube Top design delivers a very responsive tip, letting you detect subtle takes and work micro spoons and tiny hardbaits with confidence. When a trout strikes, the rod bends into a smooth, slow parabolic curve that protects light leaders and absorbs sudden runs and headshakes.

Hi-Power X construction reduces blank twist during casting and while playing fish, giving you straighter, more accurate casts and a consistent fighting curve. The action is forgiving yet controlled, allowing you to cast small lures accurately and maintain solid hook holds on pressured fish.

Lightweight Fuji Alconite K-type guides, an exclusive Shimano Ci4+ reel seat, and a high-grade cork/EVA handle complete the package, offering a comfortable, secure grip for long sessions at trout ponds and streams. Available in both spinning and casting versions, this series gives you a refined tool for modern trout area techniques.
