Shimano Zodias Casting

Zodias is a trusted favorite among anglers around the world, now updated to meet the needs of European predator anglers. Originally built in Japan for bass fishing, the series has been fine-tuned for peak performance when targeting perch, zander, pike, and asp. Whether you’re fishing with a jig near structure or casting bigger lures in moving water, Zodias offers precision and reliability without compromise.

Each rod is equipped with Shimano’s exclusive Carbon Monocoque handle – a one-piece hollow carbon construction that improves sensitivity by up to 30% compared to traditional rod handles. The integrated CI4+ reel seat is lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant, while the Hi-Power X blank adds power and reduces twist. The result is a rod that reacts instantly, delivers sharp control, and gives you direct feedback from your lure.

The Zodias lineup includes 4 baitcasting and 9 spinning models – all in 2-piece configuration for easy transport. With lengths ranging from 6’4” to 7’6” and casting weights from 2 to 42 g, the range covers everything from ultralight finesse fishing to heavy power approaches. No matter your target species or style, there’s a Zodias model to match.
