Shimano Zodias B Casting Rods (2026)

Synonymous with bass fishing excellence, the newly revamped Shimano Zodias B series raises the bar with a refined blank and updated cosmetics, while continuing to showcase the cutting-edge technologies that define its celebrated legacy. At the core is Hi-Power X, a carbon-wrapped blank construction that increases rigidity and twist resistance for sharper hooksets, longer casts, and better control under load. The Carbon Monocoque Grip, crafted from hollow carbon material, enhances vibration transmission for heightened sensitivity, allowing anglers to feel structure, lure movement, and subtle bites with precision. Paired with the CI4+ reel seat, made from Shimano’s lightweight, high-strength carbon-infused polymer, Zodias delivers a seamless connection between angler and lure. Now expanded with 11 new models, the Zodias lineup offers even more technique-specific versatility — including BFS, strolling, power, and swimbait specific models.
