Shimano Beachcaster Rods | Ultegra & Power Aero

Shimano Ultegra and Power Aero Surfcasting Rods

Explore Shimano beachcaster rods from the Ultegra Surf J, Ultegra XR Surf and Power Aero ranges. The selection includes hybrid and tubular-tip designs, with different casting ratings and Low Rider or K-Type guide arrangements.

Ultegra Surf Hybrid J

The Ultegra Surf Hybrid J combines a 4.25m three-piece construction with a hybrid tip and Fuji Low Rider guides. It offers 200g and 225g versions within the same assembled length.

The hybrid tip places an emphasis on bite registration. A Fuji DPS reel seat and Shimano Cast Control Grip complete the fittings.

Ultegra XR Surf

The XR selection includes the 4.25m Ultegra XR Surf Hybrid Low Rider and 4.5m Ultegra XR Surf Tubular Low Rider.

These differ in tip construction as well as length. The hybrid model provides a sensitivity-focused tip, while the tubular version offers a different casting response. Both length and tip design therefore change when moving between these particular models.

Power Aero Surf H: AX L or BX?

The Power Aero Surf H models offer two distinct configurations:

• Power Aero Surf H AX L: 4.25m, three-piece construction, a 250g casting rating and Fuji Low Rider guides.
• Power Aero Surf H BX: 4.5m, three-piece construction, a 225g casting rating and Fuji K-Type guides.

The longer BX has the lower stated casting rating of these two models. Additional rod length should not be treated as an increase in casting capacity. Both feature a Fuji DPS reel seat and Shimano Cast Control Grip.
