There are many styles of boat rods for sale including deep jig, spin, overhead, bottom bashing, snapper rods, stickbait and popper just to name a few. Here is a little further info on each.
Shimano Boat Rods Spin –Spinning rods are our most popular type of boat rod here in Australia, they are easy to use, offer versatility suiting a wide range of offshore fishing applications, as such they make up most of the range in the options we sell for offshore boat fishing.
Spinning rods suit your traditional spin or eggbeater type reel. There are disadvantages though, line capacities are usually restricted compared to some overheads and can be a little challenging for trolling due to lack of ratchet.
Shimano Boat Rods Overhead – Whilst generally suited to the more advanced angler (especially overhead reels that don’t feature level wind systems) the overhead sports innovative differences to that of the spin reel which as mentioned above usually offer better line capacities, stronger body construction and their much better capability for trolling lures and baits at speed.
Overheads simply make the best choice for trolling. Built-in ratchets in most models allow the angler to be aware when a prized fish smacks and takes your lure.
Shimano Deep Jig – or otherwise known as jigging rods are generally short rods under 6ft in length with fast-parabolic tip actions with plenty of power in the butt.
It would help if you had a shorter rod for jigging especially when vertical jigging to give you the ability of sharp rips and jerks consistently on the retrieve.
Jigging rods are available in spin or overhead options.
Bottom Bashing Boat Rods – Most the rods in this range for sale will be capable in some way or form for bottom bashing.
Traditionally though the heavier models are more common for this application allowing for ease of use with big snapper sinkers, large baits and have better ability to pull in huge fish should one smash your bait down deep. Short rods like our deep jig or ocea offshore rods will work fine.
Shimano Snapper Rods – You could use a heavier bottom bashing style rod like mentioned above, or if you don’t want to take the sport out of it and want to fish light or fish with soft plastic fishing lures, then Shimano have you covered.
In our range for sale look through the models and the specs of each model, and you will note several have dedicated snapper versions, our most popular being the raider series.
Shimano Popper Rods and Stickbait Rods - These are a specialist type of Shimano Saltwater Offshore boat rods suited to throwing large popper and stickbait lures for the likes of kingfish, tuna and the almighty GT (giant trevally).
GT/stickbait rod options can be found in our T-curve, Ocea and grappler series and match well with large sized spinning reels.
Most blue water anglers have their sites on ticking off a massive GT. There is nothing quite like a fish with the incredibly powerful species.
GT’s will destroy tackle and break hearts. Make sure you are equipped with the correct gear, a heavy popper or stickbait rod.
Fishing with Shimano Med/Heavy Offshore Boat Rods is fishing with the best. There’s a reason The Fishing Tackle Shop sells so many rods from this category. The reason is Shimano excellence.
