SHIMANO EXPRIDE 264UL-2 (193CM 2-7GR)

As far as sensitivity and responsiveness go, there's little that can compete with the gorgeous Expride.
Born as a Bass rod, it's easy to see why we're so excited about the Expride range. If you're looking for a rod that lives up to your expectations, look no further: the Expride is impeccable.
Light, medium or even large baits, with Spinning or Baitcasting reels, the Expride range covers everything, with a sensitivity that few rods can match. Each model is also available in two configurations, a 1+1 (one piece with detachable handle) and a 2 piece (equal length sections). You are truly spoiled for choice.
The remarkable sensitivity you feel when using Expride is the result of two exclusive Shimano technologies. The high modulus carbon blanks are constructed with Hi-Power Furthermore, the Carbon Monocoque handle transfers more information from the blank to the hand, allowing for unprecedented perception of what is happening to the bait underwater. To further increase the sensitivity and overall performance of the rod, the Expride features Fuji SiC guides and a lightweight Shimano Ci4+ reel seat to suit Spinning or Baitcasting reels.
And just when you thought things couldn't get any better, the stunning performance is accompanied by a classic gloss black blank and a cork front grip, one of the most attractive combinations we've seen.
Even in use, the Expride will not disappoint you. The 1+1 models have a one-piece main section that curves with a seamless fast action, offering sensitivity and responsiveness in equal measure. For a more convenient carrying solution, traditional two-piece options are also available in all models, which, once assembled, are almost indistinguishable from one-piece ones.
