Shimano Marine rod Beastmaster Surf Hybrid J
You can't fail to be impressed by the stunning action of the Beastmaster Surf. Available with tubular or solid tips, you can really lean on the power of the tubular option when you need extra casting distance. However, if your preference is for maximum bite detection, select the hybrid version which seamlessly blends a solid tip into the top section for maximum bite registration. Both options also come with two guide options. Regular Seaguide BG guides offer great all round performance, or select the Fuji LCOG Low-rider options for lighter lines and braid.
The casting power of the Beastmaster comes from the fast action Full Carbon blank design which transfers power through the rod to generate maximum launch speed with fast tip recovery. The hollow tips versions are more suited to the heavier swells of the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean and have a length of 4.25m and a casting weight of 225g (8oz). The solid tips of the Hybrid models are a serious advantage in the lighter conditions of the Mediterranean and are also 4.25m in length but with a lighter casting weight of 200g (7oz). All models are fitted with a Shimano DPS reel seat and come with a custom casting grip handle for maximum grip pressure, even in wet conditions. All models have a 3-piece design for convenient transportation.

Safety instructions:
“ - Handle hooks with care: Always cover the fishing hooks or remove them from the rods for transportation. Use corks or hook covers to avoid accidental injury.
- Keep your distance: Fish at least 10 meters away from others to avoid accidents. Watch out for people behind you before casting. Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
- Carbon fiber rods conduct electricity. Do not use them during thunderstorms or near power lines.
- Never try to pull lures or leaders out of trees or bushes by applying pressure to the rod and fishing line. This can result in the bait/lead being catapulted towards the angler. Use only your hands to free the bait/lead.
- Train beginners: Instruct children and beginners in the safe handling of rods and hooks to minimize risks.
- Safety distance: Always keep a distance of at least six meters from high-voltage power lines when carrying or using fishing rods.
- Avoid high sticking: Do not bend your rod too much while you are drilling a fish, which is known as “high sticking. Hold the rod at a maximum loading angle of 45 to 60 degrees to avoid breakage.
- Aligning the rod for snags: If your lure snags, keep the rod pointed at the hook while walking backwards to reduce the strain on the rod.
- Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
