Shimano Anthem Fishing Rod Buying Guide

An Anthem fishing rod is a perfect addition to an offshore boat setup. Our lineup includes many types of models, from spin and stickbait rods to poppers and overhead versions. Find the one that best suits your needs right here at the fishing tackle shop! In addition, we are only an email or phone call away if there are any questions our team can answer for you on such matters.

General Anthem Boat Fishing Rods

These models will be perfect for anglers chasing a boat rod for offshore to cover bait fishing, bottom fishing, and general boat angling styles! We start with overhead models first; 662OHH, 692OHM match the Shimano charter special, tekota, torium TLD20/25 reels.

If you prefer a spinning reel, you should consider the 692SPH, 692SPMH or 702SPH. Both the 692SPH and 702SPH typically fish well when matched with 8000 or larger size spin reels. However, the 692SPMH fits best with a 6000-8000 spin reel.

Sporting heavy line ratings, any of the 5 rods in this general boat rod lineup will tackle anything from snapper to small tuna.

Snapper Spin Anthem Rods

Anthem includes a couple of rods ideally suited to snapper anglers who prefer a rod with a bit of extra length and tip action; the 732SP and the 762SP. If you match a 6000-8000 sized spin reel, you will end up with one beautiful outfit. However, don’t limit yourself just to snapper; these rods suit a wide range of fishing styles, with the 732SP model rated for 30-40lb line class and the 762SP rated for 20-30lb lines.

Stickbait Anthem Rods

With two rod models to choose from, the angler looking for a heavy-duty stick bait fishing experience can have it. The 802SB has an 8ft length and PE5 rating - perfect for anglers with a wide range of lures in their arsenal. However, if you’re feeling like taking things up another notch or two, look no further than model 792GT. With an 8-10 PE rating, the 792GT rod offers a little more power at its tip which will be necessary when throwing larger stickbait lures and potentially certain types of poppers onto fishy marks such as giant trevally, tuna and kingfish. Match the Shimano Anthem Stickbait Rods to reel sizes 10,000 and above.

Anthem Jigging Rods

The last rods in the range are the Anthem Jigging rods for sale. There are three models with one rated for PE3 line, one for PE5, then one for PE8. Either model is suitable for deep-water jigging, bottom bashing or trolling with spin reels. Match with reels between 6000-10000, ideally.
