SHIMANO ZODIAS (JDM)
A predator weapon proven worldwide. ZODIAS is one of the most popular rods in Shimano's JDM series – created for anglers who demand more from their gear.
Initially developed in Japan for bass fishing, it has been perfected for European conditions. Lighter, better balanced, and even more precise. From finesse techniques to powerful pike fishing with large lures – ZODIAS adapts without compromise.
The stealth-matte design and Japanese aesthetics conceal a serious arsenal of technology that allows you to confidently work with delicate drop-shots as well as massive spinnerbaits.
