In 2020, the Zodias JDM series has undergone a significant upgrade and now features Shimanos exclusive Carbon Monocoque butt for the ultimate in sensitivity and finesse. The full Carbon Monocoque rod butt is made of a hollow carbon construction, eliminating the use of EVA from the rear grip and improving vibration transmission through the rod blank to your hand when working a lure. Shimano testing has found rod sensitivity has been improved by 30%.

To provide perfect balance between power and finesse, the 2020 Zodias series continues to feature Shimanos Hi-Power X graphite blank and Ci4+ Reel Seat. The new Zodias series now comes with upgraded Fuji Stainless Alconite K guides with a SiC tip. There are 12 models in the Zodias series that have been engineered with specifically tuned actions for a range of lure fishing styles.

The new range of rods come in both spin and baitcast, and vary line ratings and actions. The rods are finished with slick red and black cosmetics that make the perfect match for many Shimano reels.
