NEW PRODUCTS
PROUDLY SPONSORED BYHIMANO has released a
completely new Terez rod
series, but with one major
difference — this time they’re
black! All the popular models have
been retained in the choice of spin
or overhead configurations, as has
the commitment to first class
fit tings — custom E VA but ts and
foregrips, custom aluminium reel
seats, Fuji K series Alconite guides
— and it’s all based around
Shimano’s now legendary TC4
blanks. These contain double inner
layers of advanced TGlass
over-wrapped with a spiral of high
modulus graphite to bring out the
best in braided lines. The two
lightest models in the range are
actually built on Shimano’s high
modulus C4S blanks, which are
cross-wrapped with extra layers
of graphite for even greater
sensitivity and robustness.
