The Trout Native Special Progressive is a highly advanced range of specialist spinning rods developed for European native trout fishing with lures. Every rod in this range has been developed with specific individual characteristics, to cover everything from ultra-light small stream fishing to large powerful river fishing with large lures. Regarded by many as the ultimate challenge, fishing for native trout in wild rivers requires a huge amount of skill and precision. If this is your type of fishing, the Trout Native range is a selection of models that you shouldn’t miss. Within the range you will find models perfectly suited to finesse fishing in shallow mountain streams, right through to models designed for larger rivers using heavier lures. Depending on your requirements, each model will give you the perfect solution to match, and enhance, your skill. The laser like casting performance, perfect balance, remarkable fish-playing actions and hand-crafted finish are designed to match your dedication and become an extension of your arm, as you go head-to-head in the wild waters of Europe and beyond. Built on some of the finest blanks in Shimano’s extensive rod range, the custom-tuned fast and moderate fast tapers feature a special progressive action designed to absorb the erratic nature of a trout's fighting style. At the heart of the blank is a stunning blend of High Modulus carbon and Nano Sheet, fused together using HPC (High Pressure Carbon) technology which results in lightweight, perfectly balanced rods that offer highly technical performance. Finished in a metallic Forest green colour that is visually stunning, all models are fitted with the finest Fuji guides and a traditional full cork handle with Seaguide XVS reel seat, with resonator collar, for additional sensitivity.
