WHAT’S NEW
SHIMANO ANARCHY
THE new and improved Anarchy series of rods makes use of Shimano’s legendary T45 blank construction for increased blank response and sensitivity.
Additionally, quality Fuji Alconite K guides with a SiC tip complement the tournament-grade cosmetics of the series and a mixture of full and split EVA butt sections have been utilised across the range.
The rod actions are tuned for a range of fishing styles. To provide a more performance feel, the lighter models use a skeleton reel seat design for reduced weight and improved handling.
The Anarchy series includes 15 models specifically designed to target Australia’s most wanted and unruly species.
Available in-stores now with an RRP from $219.

The Shimma Shrimp is available in 10 colours and 65-,100-and 120-millimetre sizes.
