Hello Fishing Buddies!
Today, we'll be talking about the Shimano STC Multi Length Spinning Rod.
(Intro)
Here I have the Shimano STC Multi Length Spinning Rod.
STC stands for Shimano Travel Concept which has been designed to be high performance,
easy-transport rods.
This is their Multi-length version which goes from 9 foot or 2.7 metres and can be extended
up to 10 foot or 3 metres and it comes in 5 sections + 1 - more on that later.
This is their XH range which has a casting weight of 50 - 100 grams.
The guides are Stainless steel, black, seaguide single legs - which admittedly, are really
small for my liking, but nothing I could not work around.
These are wound with plain black whippings.
As mentioned earlier, this rod has 5 sections plus 1.
This is because the next section from the handle section can be swapped to make it either
a 9 foot or
a 10 foot rod.
This, also, has a split cork handle.
Now, the
primary 10 foot section does have a large, extra guide.
Using the 9 foot primary section, your stripping guide will be significantly smaller, as can
be seen here.
The travel length, with the case, is 69.5cm.
This does come with a semi-rigid carry case.
And even better, the case can accommodate a reel.
The reel seat is a shimano DPS reel seat, which, as far as I can tell, can only accommodate
up to a 3000 size reel.
Aside from the stripping guide, the guides of this rod is small, which can just about
fit a size 10 swivel.
Safety first.
First cast... an easy cast.
It does appear that this rod has an extra fast action yet the tip is quite reactive.
Having the option to make this a 10 foot rod really gives it the flexibility to cast a
little bit further or to manaouver better on
the retrieve.
And of course, let's not forget about the hook keeper.
There we have it.
