Shimano Expride B Casting Rods

DETAILS Command tournament-winning performance with the next generation of Shimano Expride casting and spinning rods. Built upon a strong legacy with a backbone fortified by Shimano Hi-Power X technology, Shimano engineers expanded the Expride lineup with additional models and enhanced performance by adding a Carbon Monocoque handle. This innovative and lightweight hollow carbon handle increases vibration transfer through the rod and into an angler's hand for up to 30% more sensitivity for superior bite transmission. Extremely lightweight with excellent balance, the new Expride rods feature CI4+ reel seats and don Fuji SiC guides for premium angling performance. Shimano's Hi-Power X blank technology enables rod engineers to fine-tune rod actions with models specifically designed for versatility, power fishing, or throwing large swimbaits while also providing anglers with enhanced casting distance and accuracy. The next chapter of Expride's legendary and tournament-winning lineage is here.   FEATURES + BENEFITS Carbon Monocoque Handle Hi-Power X CI4+ Reel Seat Fuji SiC Guides Cork Handle Material   SPECIFICATIONS MODEL NUMBER LENGTH GUIDE TYPE PIECES FOREGRIP LENGTH POWER BLANK MATERIAL LURE RATING GRIP MATERIAL ACTION EXC76XHB 7’6” Fuji SiC 1 1 Extra Heavy Hi-Power X 5/8-2 Carbon Monocoque Moderate Fast EXC72MLB 7’2” Fuji SiC 1 1 Medium Light Hi-Power X 3/16-3/4 Carbon Monocoque Extra Fast EXC70MGB 7’0” Fuji SiC 1 1 Medium Hi-Power X + Glass 1/4-1 Carbon Monocoque Moderate EXC73XHB 7’3” Fuji SiC 1 1 Extra Heavy Hi-Power X 5/8-2 Carbon Monocoque Moderate Fast EXC72MHB 7’2” Fuji SiC 1 1 Medium Heavy Hi-Power X 3/8-1 Carbon Monocoque Fast EXC72HB 7’2” Fuji SiC 1 1 Heavy Hi-Power X 1/2-1 1/2 Carbon Monocoque Fast EXC711XHB 7’11” Fuji SiC 1 1 Extra Heavy Hi-Power X 5/8-2 Carbon Monocoque Fast EXC610MGB 6’10” Fuji SiC 1 1 Medium Hi-Power X + Glass 1/4-1 Carbon Monocoque Moderate EXC76MHB 7’6” Fuji SiC 1 1 Medium Heavy Hi-Power X 3/8-1 Carbon Monocoque Moderate Fast EXC70HB 7’0” Fuji SiC 1 1 Heavy Hi-Power X 1/2-1 1/2 Carbon Monocoque Fast EXC72MHGB 7’2” Fuji SiC 1 1 Medium Heavy Hi-Power X + Glass 3/8-1 1/2 Carbon Monocoque Moderate EXC610MB 6’10” Fuji SiC 1 1 Medium Hi-Power X 1/4-3/4 Carbon Monocoque Moderate Fast EXC80XXHB 8’0” Fuji SiC 2 1 Extra Extra Heavy Hi-Power X MAX 10 Carbon Monocoque Moderate Fast EXC76HB 7’6” Fuji SiC 1 1 Heavy Hi-Power X 1/2-1 1/2 Carbon Monocoque Fast EXC610MHB 6’10” Fuji SiC 1 1 Medium Heavy Hi-Power X 3/8-1 Carbon Monocoque Fast EXC77HB 7’7” Fuji SiC 1 1 Heavy Hi-Power X 1/2-2 Carbon Monocoque Moderate Fast
