Shimano 23 Backbone Elite
The Shimano 23 Backbone is the ultimate offshore game fishing rod. With a completely redesigned and reengineered taper action, this new generation elite rod is specifically designed to meet the demands of the toughest catches. Upgrade your fishing game with the Shimano 23 Backbone.
There are eight rods in all : a 10kg rod with fixed full standard guides and top, and three 15kg options in a selection of fixed guides, fixed guides with roller tip or fully roller guides The same choices are available in 24kg, and finally there is a serious 37kg weapon with a roller tip. Built on a single-piece constructed rod blank, the Backbone Elite utilise Shimano’s latest TC4 material. The long foregrip EVA delivers a comfortable grip even with wet hands, and the guides, whether fixed or roller are from AFTCO. The Slick Butts are durable and makes it convenient to remove a loaded-up rod from the holder, while anodised aluminium reel seats and gimbals round out a very workmanlike package.
