Originating from the prestigious Shimano JDM (Japan Domestic Market) range, the Lunamis 26 series embodies all that rod manufacturing technology can produce. Specifically designed for shore bass fishing, this range of nine meticulously calibrated models caters to both specialists of finesse fishing and fishermen in search of raw power to tackle the most challenging coastal conditions.
In your hands, the Lunamis seems to come to life. Casting is clear, sharp, controlled, and dreadfully efficient. Lure animation becomes intuitive. And during the fight, the rod conveys that reassuring authority that only Shimano's cutting-edge technology can offer.
The heart of Lunamis 26 relies on a combination of two exclusive Shimano technologies applied to the blank:
- The Spiral X Core consists of a cross winding of carbon fibers that eliminates twists during powerful casting and distance strikes. The torsional stiffness is outstanding, without any extra weight.
- The Hi-Power X reinforces this ensemble by additional carbon reinforcement which optimizes the effort transmission throughout the length of the blank. The result is a rod that is both light, reactive and has an impressive power reserve - ideal for targeting bass in waves, on rocky bottom or in hunting zones far from the shore.
The monocoque carbon handle is one of the signatures of Lunamis 26. By removing any junction between the blank and the handle, Shimano guarantees a direct and integral transmission of vibrations to the hand. Every lure contact on the bottom, every hesitant touch of the bass, every change in lure behavior is immediately perceived. A sensitivity that is precious for adapting your animation in real time and not missing any strikes.
The CI4+ reel seat, ultra-light and perfectly positioned, complements this system by offering optimal balance of the rod-reel ensemble, reducing fatigue during long fishing sessions.
Each model in the Lunamis 26 range is equipped with Shimano's X-Guide ring system, designed to maximize line flow and minimize friction during casting. Even in sustained coastal wind, the line exits smoothly and uniformly, without tangling, for consistent casting performances whatever the weather.
The versatile models incorporate 25mm rings which optimize the balance between line slide and lightness, perfectly suited for fishing with medium-sized lures. For anglers targeting large fish in rough waters with large diameter braids, the powerful models benefit from the Titan "contactless" technology, which guarantees optimal braid management and enhanced resistance to the most intense demands.
The marine environment is particularly aggressive for fishing gear. Shimano has incorporated an Aero Coat finish into the Lunamis 26, which protects the blank from external aggressions while maintaining its reactivity. All components have been selected for their corrosion resistance, ensuring optimal longevity despite the spray, salt, and permanent humidity of the seaside.
The Lunamis 26 range offers nine distinct models, ranging from light rods dedicated to finesse fishing in calm waters to powerful models designed to propel large lures in sustained wave conditions. Each angler will find the rod perfectly suited to his style, fishing ground, and favorite lures.
For optimal performance, pair your Lunamis with Shimano's high-end Exsence, Sustain or TwinPower XD reels, and complete the assembly with an Ocea FC braid and leader line to fully exploit the potential of this exceptional rod.
