Shimano STC XR Blue Boat Baitcasting Rod is a compact yet extremely powerful boat rod, specifically designed to tackle large cod, coalfish, and halibut using heavy jigs, pilkers, or soft baits. Measuring 2.29 meters in length with a four-piece construction, this powerhouse is also travel-friendly – its transport length is just 62 cm, and it comes with a hard protective travel case.

At the core of the blank lies advanced carbon fiber technology, combining High Modulus Full Carbon, HPC technology, Nanosheet material, and Shimano Diaflash reinforcements. The result is a rod that withstands the pressure from truly big fish while reducing fatigue during long sessions. Its moderate fast action makes it ideal for animating large baits even in deep water.

The STC XR Blue Boat isn’t just at home in northern waters – it’s also a top choice for tropical adventures and targeting big pelagic predators. The Fuji DPS-H reel seat and stainless Fuji SiN guides ensure durability and smooth line flow. A full EVA handle offers comfort and grip even in tough weather.
