Whether you are a bass fisherman targeting largemouth and smallmouth bass, or a saltwater angler trolling for tuna, live-bait fishing for tarpon, casting to striped bass, or pitching a bait to a lit up billfish, Shimano has everything you need to fight and land whatever your target species happens to be.
