Not only that, it comes with cushioned reel seats, EVA grips and quality guides. If you need an extremely tough and durable rod, this Shimano Aquatip Snapper Spinning Rod will rise to the challenge.

The Braid
Shimano's new Shimano Kairiki SX8 Braid is an eight carrier Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) PE braid, its smooth finish means it creates less friction over rod guides when cast, and it slips through the water with reduced resistance and thrumming on the retrieve or when trolled.

Shimano Kairiki SX8 Braid is well behaved on the reel spool, with even lay and less propensity to throw off annoying wind knots. Sensitivity is brought into the manufacturing process by reducing overall stretch and having less elongation than competitors' brands. An exclusive process that the raw material undergoes before braiding enhances abrasion resistance, featuring Shimano's enhanced body treatment (S-EBT). The line is then braided with less friction, retaining the integrity of the material for fewer imperfections. This makes it a tough line for use in difficult terrain. Plus its neutral Mantis Green colour means it's every bit at home on a Trout stream, or down in the estuaries and offshore.
