Shimano Biocraft XR Fly Big Bug/SW 9'0" #12 4pc

The Biocraft XR fly rods are the most technologically advanced fly rods Shimano has ever made. They offer a remarkable combination of casting performance, practicality and value for money. The full range covers all situations from ultra-light fishing with nymphs to heavy-duty saltwater fishing for tuna. If you hold a Biocraft XR in your hand, you will immediately feel the quality, which is not least due to the carbon construction. The Biocraft XR is light, responsive and perfectly finished. It far exceeds its purchase price and is a serious challenger to some of the higher-priced American competitors. With 25 models, there is something for everyone, from fine finsser rods to saltwater power packs for all intrepid anglers. Each individual model is an exquisite work of art that instantly becomes an extension of your arm on the water. The heart of every Biocraft XR is an amazing combination of exclusive Shimano carbon technologies that ensure the perfect action of the respective rod. The high modulus HPC blanks are equipped with Biofibre, Nanosheet and Diaflash technology in various configurations. The respective configuration of the exclusive carbon technologies provides the necessary finesse for the light models and controlled power and incomparable casting properties for the powerful two-handed rods. Another advantage is that almost all models have 3 or 4 sections to reduce transport length. As you would expect from a premium rod, the components used on the blank are of the highest quality and have been selected for their performance characteristics. Seaguide and Fuji SIC rings are light and robust at the same time. Seaguide reel seats harmonize perfectly with the traditional cork handles and each rod comes with a velvet holdall and a hard case transport tube. Of course, in order to be able to properly assess the Biocraft XR, you have to take it in your own hands and test it. Then, and only then, will you appreciate the stunning performance of a rod that in some cases is half the price of its competitors. Biocraft XR - Born To Fly!
