The Shimano Stimula family is built for the Spinning fisherman. We created multiple actions for fishing Trout, Bass, Panfish, and even heavier rods for fishing larger fish such as Catfish or Salmon. A very rich look and you won"t be disappointed when fishing the new Stimula rods. The Stimula also features, Aluminum oxide guides, a Shimano reel seat, a custom shaped cork handle, an EVA butt cap, a Multipurpose hook keeper, and a one year limited warranty.
