Spiral X
Shimano’s proprietary Spiral X technology utilizes triple layer construction consisting of an oblique fibre core layer, a longitudinal middle layer, and a reverse-oblique fibre outer layer. This unique construction increases rigidity without increasing weight, providing virtually instantaneous power transmission when casting or fighting a fish.

SIC Titanium Stripper + Titanium Recoil Snake
The perfect marriage of strength, weight savings, and stealth. While our ultra-light titanium snakes look the part of a traditional guide, the added benefit of flexibility is great insurance when storing your sticks in a skiff or drift boat.
