■ S511ML-S/R (all-round short rod)
A short model that has become popular due to its ease of handling, light weight, and portability. Among them, this S511ML-S/R can be said to be an all-rounder. I want to use a short model on a recreational fishing boat, I want to use it in a fishing seat (sitting position) close to the water surface such as a kayak or inflatable boat, and I want a rod with less fatigue because my body is small. This model can be used. It is one that expands the possibilities of short rods.

Reel: Sephia XR C3000SDH

■ S511M-S/F (technical short rod)
Shimano's first appearance of a technical-type rod. In recent years, there have been many requests from anglers who prefer a more hanging condition with subdivided tip egging, and Shimano's hanging condition rod has been completed.
Originally, tip egging is basically a regular taper considering the stress of shakuri, but there were many requests to hang squid more and more when it was calm or when it was highly active. The selling point of the short and first condition is the operability full of manual feeling. Please feel the fun of "hanging" with this rod!

■ S68ML-S/R (all-rounder)
6.8 feet, which has become the current standard length, all-round model. It is an all-rounder for tip egging that has a good balance of delicacy of the tip and bat power. It is the most frequently used rod throughout the season, and you can use it with confidence wherever you go, at any time. It's finished like that. Be bolder when you want to appeal, and be more delicate with difficult squid. Manipulate it as you wish.

■ S68M-S/F (technical all-rounder)
S511M-S/F is a brother model, and it is a standard length hanging tone model. As explained in the S511M-S/F, it turns out that even with the many-requested hanging tone models, there are different preferences for length. By finishing it with a standard length (6.8 feet) with less peculiarities, even those who are new to the hanging condition can use it with confidence.
I would like to use it mainly on recreational fishing boats. I want to dodge swells and waves well even if it is a hanging tone. This is a recommended book for such anglers.

■ S72ML-S/R (long type all-rounder)
In the past, the standard length for tip egging was 7 feet. Currently, 6.8 feet is standard, but with the introduction of spiral X core, high power X, X guide, carbon monocoque grip, etc., it has become possible to make a rod that does not feel long. The XR has specifications close to those of higher-end models, and even with a length of 7.2 feet, it achieves performance that does not weigh you down. A long rod comes into play when the wind and waves are strong. Capture delicate hits without losing concentration even in tough situations!

Suitable for reference water depth 15-40m + α, shallow to deep.
■ S74ML-S/C (casting model)
Long-awaited casting specialized model. You can cast big eggs over 3.5 to over 30g, such as casting when there is no wind which is difficult to capture, and casting in early spring when you are aiming for a large size. The sharp throwing comfort is inherited from the Okappari model. In addition, large bigfin squid in spring are often held sideways, and there are many scenes where they are disassembled without hooking. Taking advantage of the length of S74ML-S/C, the stroke will bring it to hooking. The delicate tip makes it possible to catch bites without giving unnecessary movement to the bait even when the tension is slightly increased. This is a fun casting game!
Recommended combination (rod/reel/line/egg)
Rod: S74ML-S/C
Reel: Sephia XR C3000SDH
Line: Sephia 8+ 0.4-0.6
Leader: Sephia Master Fluoro Leader around No. 2
Egi: Sephia Clinch 3.5-3.8, Entourage Seagle S0-S2
Recommended for casting scenes such as shallow areas in spring and no wind in autumn.
