SHIMANO ULTEGRA XR SURF TUBULAR 4.50M 225G LOW RIDER ROD (3-PIECE)

The Shimano Ultegra XR Surf Tubular 450 BXL Rod (Ref. ULTXRSFT450BXL) is a tournament-grade, long-range Surfcasting rod, custom-engineered by Shimano for demanding coastal anglers. Merging an ultra-slim 4.50-meter carbon blank with a powerful 225g tubular tip section, this rod is custom-built to maximize kinetic energy transfer and achieve extreme casting distances off the beach.

High-Modulus Full Carbon, Spiral X, Hi-Power X, and Fuji Lowrider Hardware

Shimano engineered the Ultegra XR Surf series focusing on instant tip recovery speed, rotational anti-twist rigidity, and effortless long-range power:

• High-Modulus Full Carbon + Spiral X + Hi-Power X Matrix: Constructed using premium carbon sheets reinforced with Spiral X and Hi-Power X outer diagonal wraps. This delivers an ultra-lightweight (571g) slim-profile blank with extraordinary structural density and complete twist resistance during power casts.
• Powerful 225g Tubular Tip Section: The stiff, fast-recovering tubular tip is designed to load heavy lead sinkers (up to 225g) efficiently under aggressive casting techniques (such as OTG or pendulum styles) and hold firm in rough surf currents.
• Saltwater-Grade Fuji Lowrider Alconite Guides: Fitted with genuine Fuji Lowrider stainless steel frame guides with Alconite rings, custom-spaced to deliver zero line friction and eliminate wind knots when using fine PE braided or monofilament mainlines.
• Fuji DPS Reel Seat & Cast Control Grip: Outfitted with a heavy-duty Fuji DPS screw-lock reel seat and an ergonomic non-slip Cast Control base grip for a confident, slip-free hold during power casting.

Usage: The definitive long-distance Surfcasting rod choice for beach match competitions and heavy surf conditions requiring maximum casting power.
