The Shimano ENGETSU XTUNE HTM series is a high-performance lineup of tai rubber rods, meticulously crafted to meet the diverse needs of anglers targeting red snapper (madai). This series incorporates Shimano's cutting-edge technologies to enhance sensitivity, strength, and overall fishing experience.

Key Features

SPIRAL X CORE Construction: This advanced structure utilizes high-strength materials and a unique carbon tape wrapping method, resulting in a rod that is both lightweight and exceptionally strong. The SPIRAL X CORE design significantly reduces rod twist and increases overall rigidity, providing anglers with precise control and improved casting accuracy.
X GUIDE System: Shimano's original X GUIDE system minimizes line tangling and reduces air resistance during casting. The streamlined shape and strategic placement of the X GUIDEs contribute to smoother line flow, enhancing casting distance and accuracy while maintaining the rod's overall balance.
X SEAT Extreme Gun Grip: Designed for bait models, the X SEAT Extreme Gun Grip offers ergonomic comfort and stability. Its form fits seamlessly into the angler's palm, reducing fatigue and allowing for precise control during retrieves and fights.
High-Power X Full Solid Structure: Incorporated in full solid models, this structure enhances the rod's flexibility and strength. By reinforcing the blank's outer layer with carbon tape in an X pattern, it suppresses twisting and power loss, providing a smooth and responsive rod action.
TAFTEC ∞ (Infinity) Solid Tip: This high-strength solid tip offers exceptional sensitivity and durability, allowing anglers to detect even the slightest bites and changes underwater.

Model Variations

The ENGETSU XTUNE HTM series offers a diverse range of models to cater to various fishing styles and conditions:

N-B510ML-FS to B70M+-FS (Full Solid): These models focus on cushioning and resilience, allowing anglers to "hook and bend" the rod fully, providing an automatic and exciting fight style.
N-B610ML-S/M-S (Solid Tip): Pursuing "true lightness," these models offer a supple action, enabling automatic hooking and firm follow-through, making them versatile for various conditions.
N-B69ML-T (Tubular Tip): Featuring a lightweight tubular tip with optimal stiffness, this model excels in tough conditions, such as strong winds or rocky areas, allowing precise bottom fishing.
D-B611M+-T (Dotera Model): With power and resilience throughout the rod, this model supports accurate hooking even from a distance and handles the intense pull of large red snapper, as well as the resistance from currents and wind.
C-S66ML+-S (Casting Model): Equipped with a delicate and supple solid tip, this model allows anglers to efficiently explore horizontal layers where red snapper reside, making it effective during low activity periods.

The Shimano ENGETSU XTUNE HTM series embodies the brand's commitment to innovation and quality. By integrating advanced technologies and offering a variety of models tailored to specific fishing styles, this series provides anglers with the tools needed to excel in tai rubber fishing.
