Product Description.
Shimano's challenge to change the concept of pack and travel rods.
The Free Game XT is an authentic shore-style multi-piece rod that overcomes the various weaknesses of pack-and-travel rods. The blanks are equipped with Shimano's famous High Power X. The high number of strokes makes the rod heavy and lightweight. The XT is equipped with Shimano's renowned High Power X blanks, which are heavy and tend to be dull due to the high number of splices, to give the rod a taut and sharp feel. In addition, the Free Game XT uses parallel splicing. This gives the rod a strong butt power. Compared to a swing rod, the XT has a higher degree of freedom in guide setting, which leads to superior performance. Of course, we have also thoroughly pursued the portability and ease of use that only a pack-and-travel rod can offer. The rod is designed to fit in a suitcase less than 60 cm in length, which is the size of carry-on luggage for domestic airplanes. In addition, the tip piece is slightly shorter than the other pieces. This prevents damage to the tip when the rod is split into two or three pieces for carrying.
The beautiful bend of the rod is comparable to that of a two-piece rod. Free game XT is designed based on popular items that are highly supported in each type of fishing.
