The Shimano Expride B Spinning Rods are a masterclass in finesse performance, built for competitive anglers who demand cutting-edge sensitivity, lightweight control, and unmatched feel. Leveraging Shimano’s most advanced rod technologies, the Expride B delivers the performance needed to excel on the water—whether you’re fishing a drop shot, Neko rig, or hair jig in clear water.
At the heart of the Expride B is Shimano’s Hi-Power X blank construction, which reduces blank twist and increases responsiveness. This translates into more accurate casting, better hooksets, and enhanced power transfer during fights. The rods feature Carbon Monocoque handles, which are hollow and ultra-lightweight, amplifying sensitivity so you can detect the faintest of bites.
Premium Fuji SiC guides and a CI4+ reel seat round out this high-performance rod, making it ideal for professional bass anglers and advanced finesse enthusiasts alike.
