Choosing the Ideal Shimano Exvance Rod for Your Surf/Rock Fishing
While the Exvance series delivers exceptional performance, selecting the perfect rod requires considering a few key factors to ensure it aligns perfectly with your fishing style and target species.
1. Length and Casting Distance
- Shorter Exvance rods (10-10ft 3 inch) offer greater maneuverability and flexibility, ideal for calmer conditions and targeting mid-sized fish like snapper and tailor.
- Longer rods (12-14ft 6 inch) provide superior casting distance and leverage for battling larger species like mulloway and sharks, especially in rough surf.
2. Line Class and Power
- Lighter line classes (8-12kg) are well-suited for general techniques and smaller-medium-sized coastal fish.
- Heavier line classes (15-30kg) are necessary for targeting larger species and handling heavier sinkers or baits in strong currents.
3. Fishing Technique
- Lure fishing enthusiasts will appreciate the lighter, more sensitive Shimano Exvance surf rod models with appropriate actions for optimal lure control and bite detection.
- Bait fishing for larger species can call for a rod with a higher line class and cast weight to handle heavier rigs and powerful fish.
4. Reel Compatibility
Pair your Exvance rod with a reel size that complements its line class and power. The series is designed to work seamlessly with spinning reel sizes from 6000 to 25000, depending on the model you choose to order. In our table above, we have compiled a list of suggested spin reel sizes for the individual models.
