Shimano BASIS Series ISO Rod – Precision and Power for Advanced Rock Fishing

Advanced Core Blanks for Superior Performance

The Shimano BASIS series features meticulously engineered core blanks that deliver a lightweight yet robust parabolic action. This design ensures exceptional sensitivity and control, allowing anglers to detect subtle bites and respond with precision. The rod's ability to follow the movements of the fish seamlessly provides a stable and enjoyable fishing experience, even when using fine lines.

Cutting-Edge Shimano Technologies

The BASIS series integrates Shimano’s latest rod innovations. Spiral X Core enhances torsional rigidity and compression strength without adding weight, improving casting accuracy and power delivery. The X Guide System ensures smooth line flow with minimal friction, supporting long-distance and tangle-free casting. The X Seat offers a stable and ergonomic grip, improving handling and reducing fatigue. Nano Pitch Technology enhances blank strength and responsiveness through even carbon wrapping. The Tough Tech α Tip delivers excellent bite sensitivity and refined control at the tip. A Barrier Finish repels water and dirt, protecting the rod’s surface and durability.

Designed for Technical Anglers

The BASIS series is designed for serious anglers who practice finesse techniques in challenging coastal and reef environments. The rod’s sharp action and minimal blank deflection provide accurate, responsive control, even with light tackle setups. This results in a highly sensitive yet powerful tool, ideal for targeting black seabream and other wary species in rocky shore conditions.

The BASIS lineup includes multiple models to suit different fishing styles and line ratings. The 1-530 model is perfect for ultralight setups. The 1.2-500 and 1.2-530 models balance sensitivity and strength for both numbers and quality fish. The 1.5-500 and 1.5-530 models offer a great balance for competitive anglers facing various conditions. For larger targets, the 1.7-500 and 1.7-530 provide the power needed to control big fish without sacrificing responsiveness.

The Ideal Rod for Mastering Rock Fishing

Each model in the BASIS series is crafted with a focus on optimal balance, high sensitivity, and refined strength to elevate angler performance.
