Shimano Fishing Rods
Shimano fishing Rods
Shimano is a real global, Japanese company - founded in 1921 by Shozaburo
Shimano - making fishing reels and rods (and many other products, bicycle
gears, etc...) as you know.

Shimano was introduced to the USA in 1978.
Once specialized in the fishing reel business, Shimano entered the fishing
rod arena only a few years ago and gradually became a serious contender for
the mid-level market.
The array of rods is impressive. All kind of rods are available for any
technique: freshwater, muskie, IGFA/Trolling, fly, salt-water, Salmon/steel
head, inshore, surf rods, long rods, jigging rods, kingfish rods.
It seems that Shimano always try and often succeed to beat the competition
on price for an equivalent value. The warranty system is also excellent.
They want to dominate the market and they go for it.
