Shimano rods

Post by toledo bend bass » Wed Jun 28, 2017 10:19 am

Saw on shimano Facebook page several of the shimano pros holding what looks like new rod. Has full cork rear grip and doesn't appear to be any of current offerings. Maybe new crucial or maybe something else better. Any info out there??

you sure it wasn't the Loomis IMX Pro? A lot of pics on FB has shimano reels on newer Loomis rods.

I heard from a shimano insider that shimano was coming out with a "Curado" rod (hence the unusual looking cork handled rod on shimanos latest Instagram post) and a Gloomis rod ABOVE the nrx....!!!!

Curado rods, can be seen in the iCast slideshow on bass master.com. Has the Fuji PTS reel seat, which is nice.
