Evolved to be sharper and easier to bite. Realize the latest in ajing.
Impression by Shimano Pro Field Staff Yoshitsugu Niwa
The biggest difference from the previous model is that Spiral X is used for the blanks. It is more resistant to twisting and crushing, but how does this work in actual fishing for horse mackerel? In one word, it can be felt as sharpness. For example, until now, you may have felt dullness in the blanks when fishing in deep areas or for reactions. The new Soare SS Ajing is equipped with Spiral X, making it easier to operate as intended even in situations where a load is applied. It is also easy to perform reaction fishing in day games, such as moving the jig head rig sharply and stopping it, and you can feel the improved operability. In addition, sharpness quickly converges the shaking during casting, improving casting accuracy and making it easier to cast distances. However, sharpness does not mean a rod with a tight tension, but each model is designed to be optimal. Horse mackerel will get worn out if you move the lure too sharply, but the SUL-S model in particular has a flexible tip that makes it easy to give the horse mackerel the action it likes. Delicate luring that requires skill can be done automatically. Furthermore, the tip of the SUL-S has a sagging feel, and it expresses bites that cannot be detected by hand sensitivity through bites and line changes. It is also effective as a countermeasure against reluctance to bite in high-pressure areas. After hooking a horse mackerel, the rod bends overall, so the horse mackerel does not move around more than necessary, and the number of breakaways is reduced. In particular, the S54SUL-S has an easy-to-handle length and is recommended as the first rod for beginners to horse mackerel fishing. For those who prioritize sensitivity or often fish in areas with fast currents, the UL-S, which has more tension than the SUL-S, is more suitable. For fishing in deep areas with an emphasis on fall, the S64UL-S and S58UL-S are recommended. The lineup that can embody the latest horse mackerel fishing is also an attraction of the Soare SS horse mackerel fishing.
Features
The increased surface hardness makes it more sensitive than conventional materials, and the compact design reduces the contact area between the palm of your hand and the reel seat, further improving sensitivity.
The grip shape was designed to make it easy to hold when casting and reduce the feeling of heaviness when reeling.
Technology
Spiral X
Overcomes twisting and crushing, improving rod performance from the ground up.
Spiral X is a three-layer structure in which carbon tape is densely wound in opposite directions on the inner and outer layers of the rod's vertical fibers. The inner and outer diagonal fibers achieve high torsional rigidity and crushing rigidity while maintaining lightness. This is Shimano's unique "basic structure" that improves instantaneous power transmission during fishing actions such as casting and fighting, maintains lightness, and enhances the "ground power for catching."
A reinforced structure that further suppresses twisting that occurs during casting and fighting. The feature is that the carbon tape is tightened in an X shape from the outermost layer of the spiral X or the carbon sheet vertical and horizontal crossing structure. As a result, the bending of the rod maintains the direction intended by the angler, and the original performance of the blanks is fully demonstrated.
TAFTEC
By reviewing the material composition and manufacturing process, the carbon solid tip has been given unprecedented strength. It is characterized by a high sensitivity and firmness compared to the TAFTEC α.
*Used in $48SUL-S, S54SUL-S, S60SUL-S, and S68SUL-S
High Response Solid
Tip section designed for hooking. Quick response that follows small movements of the rig and hooks immediately if there is a bite. Suitable for aggressive fishing style.
*Used in S58UL-S, S64UL-S, S70UL-S, and S64L-S
Ci4
Ci4 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. C14 is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. While improving lightness and rigidity, reel bodies, rotors and reel seats built with C14 are further reduced in size and weight.
* High Response Solid: Used in S58UL-S, S64UL-S, S70UL-S, and S64L-S
* TAFTEC: Used in S48SUL-S, S54SUL-S, S60SUL-S, and S68SUL-S
