SHIMANO Dialuna Spinning Inshore 8'6'' 2,59m 3-21g

The new Dialuna is the ultimate JDM saltwater inshore rod. It has a technically advanced blank which is very strong, sensitive and light, making it perfect for its purpose: inshore distance fishing. If you’re looking for the perfect long-distance seabass rod: the new Dialuna is the one. The new designed blanks feature Spiral X, Hi-Power X and Muscle Carbon technologies, the action is perfectly developed to progressively load the lure weight and release it with a fast recovery tip action. The blanks are equipped with Fuji SiC-S guides, the new Shimano Ci4+ Perfection reel Seat and EVA split grip, resulting in an extremely lightweight and sensitive rod (Taftec solid tip in S86-L model). The New Dialuna range is available in four different lengths with four different casting weights, to better suit all the different needs of the dedicated seabass inshore angler.

PIRAL X

Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's patented Spiral X construction enhances catching power for anglers. Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a middle layer of vertical fibers as well as inner and outer layers, both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fiber sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced compression rigidity and increased torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fish fighting.

HI-POWER X

Hi-Power X construction uses diagonally-wrapped carbon tape to form an array of "X" shapes on the rod blank's outermost layer. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. This manufacturing process allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control for the angler.

MUSCLE CARBON

MUSCLE CARBON is a high-performance material that reduces the gap between fibers by bundling carbon fibers more dense than normal carbon material, and this dense structure reduces the amount of resin needed to fill the gaps in between the fibers.

TAFTEC

TAFTEC was reconsidering the formulation of the materials and the manufacturing method, the strength of carbon solid tips is drastically improved. Sharp and high sensitivity compared to TAFTEC α, that is the characteristic point.

CI4+

CI4 is a resin material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material.The rigidity and durability have been greatly improved from original CI4 material while maintaining the lightness of the material, making it possible to reduce the size and weight of the reel.
