SHIMANO recently introduced the Reventus series of rods.
This well-designed lineup offers five models, each tailored for versatility in landbased saltwater fishing.
With their sleek matte and gloss finish accented by distinctive trim colours and ergonomic EVA grips, Reventus rods look great and feel comfortable to grip.
The 30-40 ton carbon construction ensures robust performance, complemented by Fuji “O” Ring guides for smooth casting.
Fishing World has been using two Reventus rods on some recent surf fishing trips along the East Coast. One rod is the 902M is a 9′ Medium action PE 2-4 rod with a recommended cast weight of 30-70 grams. The second rod we’ve been testing is the 1002M, a slightly longer and heavier 10′ rod with a Med-heavy action, PE 2-5 and cast weight of 30-90 grams.
Both rods have been ideal for flicking metal lures at salmon and tailor of the beaches. Their light and responsive and easy to cast. The lighter rod was matched with a SW 4000 Stradic and the heavier rod with a SW 5000 Stradic. They’ve proven themselves to be nicely balanced and affordable combos for some quick and easy beach fishing sessions.
Competitively priced between $199-219, Shimano’s Reventus rods offer anglers tools that seamlessly integrate with Shimano’s reel range.
