The Shimano UK division of the company was set up shortly after, in 1988 meaning British anglers needs were met much easier.

Available in 12ft and 13ft rod length options, the Shimano Aero X7 Distance Feeder Rod is a unique rod in the market for its sports two main sections instead of three, unusual for longer rods. These two sections contribute to the beautiful playing action of the rod which fewer joints to disturb the flex of the rod blanks.

Constructed from high modulus HPC NANO blank, the backbone of the rod is strong and well built up, offering super responsive, very fast recovering creating a distance casting machine! This strong backbone of the rod is paired with a tip section which has the right softness for a lovely fish playing action. The tip section is softer and creates a truly beautiful curve all the way through when a fish is hooked.

The casting power of the rod is great, achieving distances up to 70m with the 12ft and up to 100m with the 13ft rod length. Both lengths make this rod very well usable on both commercial lake fishing for carp and on big natural lakes or canals for bream.

The Aero X7 uses anti-tangling Kigan guides which help the fishing line to fly off the spool super easy, reaching great distances when making bold casts. The screw-in extension part of the rod will contribute to more distance and control during the cast.

If an angler is looking for an all-round competition feeder rod which is very sensitive, casts well and provides a beautiful fish playing action: the x7 Distance Feeder is the one to go for.
