Designed for monster fish in fresh or saltwater, this rod can handle big lures and even bigger fish from the boat, but packs down to just over 2 feet long. That makes the STC Monster Spin rod the ideal all-rounder for predator fish, whether you’re tackling a few bass while holidaying at a beach or reeling in a shark.

The Right Length for Big Pits & Compact Suitcases

240cm (7’10.5”) is perfect for casting big lures, like big stickbaits, poppers or crankbaits from a boat. Because it’s part of the Shimano Travel Concept range, it also packs down to fit into your suitcase at 65.5cm (2’1.8”) long. That makes it the ultimate travel rod for tropical holidays, especially anywhere ray or sharks cruise close to the beach.

Strong, Light, Sensitive Blank

Built on a lightweight HPC 100 blank, HPC (High Pressure Carbon) means pressure is applied to the blank during heating, so the resin remains inside for an even spread and no weak spots. The high density gives the STC Monster that necessary strength for bigger fish, but it also means Shimano can keep the weight down. This makes it more transportable and puts less strain on the user.

EVA Handle – Dense, Robust & Ergonomic

The high density EVA handle is sensitive, but hard and super strong. EVA foam is probably the most durable material used for rod handles. It’s especially resistant against common residue from baits, like fish oil and protein. The density and large grip of the EVA handle not only add to its robustness, but they also make it more comfortable and easy to control, reducing fatigue when fighting big fish.

High-End Components

While Shimano made the DPS reel seat for this rod in-house, Seaguide provided the double leg guides. These line guides can be used with your choice of mono or braided line. Seaguide is maybe the best in the business, and the preferred line guide manufacturer for people who custom-build their own rods.
