The goal was to create a shore casting rod that transcends the limits of conventional limits by fusing Shimano's advanced technology and know-how to a high level. Thorough pursuit of freedom from line trouble, which was a chronic complaint of anglers. Completed by thoroughly analyzing the correlation between reel size and line system, we adopted NEW [X Guide] that overturns conventional wisdom. The unique frame shape realizes performance that suppresses the root cause of line trouble caused by blank touch or interference with the guide frame.
The essential blank structure adopts a "spiral X core" that provides high strength in all directions such as bending, screwing, and crushing. And the repulsive force that has been thoroughly increased exerts a powerful power as it bends, enabling sharp and nimble casting. In addition, the balance is pursued so that the blank whole-body bends smoothly up to the grip part, making it easy to time the cast, and the impact and stress on the body in the power fight are alleviated. In addition, it is equipped with an original rubber grip end to support cast and fight stability. When you experience the true value of these, a new stage of shore casting game opens up.
CONCEPT MOVIE
KEY FEATURES
Balancing overwhelming strength and lightness. And the troubleless performance pursued.
What Shimanoe wanted for Colt Sniper Limited was a comfortable cast feel that a rod that anglers could cast all day, and a trouble-free performance on the line. In addition, it had to be strong enough to face the record-sized fish lurking in the sea. Normally, these performances would have to sacrifice some element technically, and it was difficult to achieve both at a high level. However, Shimano's technology and through-earth commitment and ideas give shape to the ideals. With features that break the conventional wisdom, Colt Sniper's first limited model in the series is finally born.
New X Guide with small diameter high frame: Equipped with touch-free titanium.
The biggest feature is the installation of a small diameter high-frame New X Guide: touch-free titanium. Iso is a fishing spot that is susceptible to wind, and unexpected line trouble caused by PE line was unavoidable. However, troubleless performance is essential in order to make a small number of chances a thing. That's why we installed the New X Guide: Touch-Free Titanium. This guide is an all-new guide that Shimano has completed through its own research and pursuit of a balance between the expected reel number and the appropriate height of the guide. The expected reel size is designed to work well with Shimano's spinning reels up to 14,000.
What causes conventional guide design to cause trouble?
This video shows the blank touch of the line that occurs during casting. Especially on the rockshore, the overwhelmingly thick leader is often used for the PE line of the main line, so gaps are likely to occur in the speed of the line emitted during casting. The lighter PE line then tries to move ahead of the leader in front of it, causing sagging due to the PE line. This led to blank touches and line troubles, causing damage to the PE line.
The effect of small diameter and high frame.
Pursuit of the optimal guide shape for PE lines
New X Guide: Touch-free titanium is designed to keep the lines as non-flappy as possible when casting. Previous large-aperture low-frame guides for rockshore were designed for use in nylon lines. However, this New X Guide: Touch-free titanium is both high line release performance while preventing line trouble by reducing the diameter of the ring in the lockshore, where the use of PE lines that are overwhelmingly better slippery than nylon lines has become mainstream.
Converges the emitted line at once
The next goal was to make the guides smaller in caliber than before, designed to allow the line emitted from the reel to converge at once. This allows the PE line to release smoothly from the reels and makes it difficult to blank touch. In addition, by making the frame that supports the guide higher than before, we have designed it so that it is more difficult to touch blanks. Especially in rockshores, where large reels are often used, the design of the high frame guide is a good fit.
The new guide shape reduces line trouble by about 75% (*), which also leads to an increase in flying distance and a reduction in line fluff.

New X Guide: Completion of Touch-Free Titanium. Blank touch greatly reduced.
And here's a video of the New X Guide: Touch-Free. The most distinctive feature is the guide part immediately after being released from the reel, and you can see how the PE line converges rapidly due to the small diameter of the ring. In addition, the high-frame guide creates a distance between the blanks and the guides, and prevents blank touch due to fluttering of the PE line. This effect has resulted in unprecedented high trouble-free performance in fishing under conditions such as crosswinds and tailwinds. It also contributes to merits such as the effect of reducing damage by preventing fluff and increasing the flight distance of the lure.
Grip stuck to keep throwing. Shape that is easy to grip even when fighting.
The grip of the Colt Sniper Limited is a special design that is thoroughly focused on every detail. In order to grasp the precious Atari in your hand more reliably, various functions are loaded everywhere.
Extreme Power Control Grip
The grip has many characteristics, but the most distinctive is the extreme power control grip at the grip end. The material is made of rubber, making it easy to stabilize during a waist reservoir fight and less likely to disperse power. In addition, when fighting with a big player, it is assumed that the rod butt will be hit by the iso, and the risk of the rod butt being sharpened compared to EVA is reduced. By making it even easier to grip, it is easy to put force on the puller during casting, and it is designed to lead to an increase in flying distance. In addition, when fighting with the waist down, the operation was stable and the power was not dispersed.
Jerking Assist Grip
It is designed to increase the stability when sandwiched between the sides by flattening the sides. It is easy to operate the plug and jig, and I was particular about making sure that the power is stable even when fighting with the fish by sandwiching it on the side.
Long Nuts
Even on large reels, a long type nut was adopted to prevent rattling and misalignment.
V-Hold Front Grip
The cross-sectional shape applied to the V-shape is not easy to shift, and it can cope with a firm and stable feeling even in power fights, and the fatigue resistance is improved.
Screw lock joint to prevent unexpected misalignment. A special tightening belt is also included.
Screw lock joints are Shimano's unique technology that twists the seams between blanks to connect them. This reduces rattle that occurs in the seams and misalignments that occur during use and has the effect of preventing unexpected breakage.
In Coltsniper Limited, the target can also be a big one, so it is important to stitch it together tightly and without loosening, in order to prevent breakage.
By using the included special adjuster belt, blanks can be reliably stitched together without loosening.
S100MH
The design emphasizes balance by assuming targets other than blue objects.
It is mainly intended for use in the near sea, the ground iso, etc. In recent years, in such inshore fields, it is assumed that blue fish eat silas with a smaller silhouette than general bait fish such as kibinago and sardines. Based on such a microbait pattern, the S100MH is one that aims to overcome tough conditions by lure rotation regardless of size and rod work that assists in the withdrawal of lure action. As a rod that enables a variety of lure rotation, the plug has a silhouette of around 20 g, a thinking pencil with a small pulling resistance, a general diving pencil of 16 cm size of around 60 g, and a jig with the heaviest weight in the near sea of about 30 g ~ 70 g, It is possible to operate with unprecedented lightness and operability.
The fields mentioned as images of specific usage areas are Izu ~ Wakayama, which is influenced by the complex tide created by the Kuroshio, the Seto Inland Sea, where the tide flows at once through the narrowed terrain, and the Japan Sea in winter, which blows roughly, and other inshore and jiiso. The inshore sea is simple, but the actual ocean is not. Always face up to situations that disadvantage shorecasting games. Because it is severe, the performance of this S100MH is utilized.
S100H
A versatile model that can be used from deep field cheats to plugs.
Whether it is Jiiso or Okiiso, if it is possible to respond to a wide range of measures with one tackle, the strategy can be deepened by focusing on that one of them. The S100H is the optimal solution derived from trial and error. As a standard length and power for shore jigging rods aimed at large blue objects, a variety of lures can be comfortably used and can be handled from a sinking pencil of around 30 g to a diving pencil of around 100 g to a metal jig of 120 g.
You can experience a new sensation that both jig plugs that can dispel the dissatisfaction of anglers who have been dissatisfied with the versatile rod so far are easy to use.
Of course, the usage area is wide, and it is assumed that blue objects are aimed at nearby Jiiso and Okiiso, 10 kg class yellowfin such as Izu and Kozushima, Hiramasa, Buri and Yellowfin in the Goto Islands of Nagasaki Prefecture, large blue objects and yellowfin in the male and female archipelagos, blue objects and Sujiara in the Koshikijima Islands of Kagoshima Prefecture, and large-scale blue objects in the Uji Archipelago and Kusagaki Archipelago. What stands out in particular is that depending on the situation, PE Line No. 4 tackles a large blue object with a lure of 60 g or less, or a situation where fishing can only be established with a 120 g metal jig, both situations where fishing is possible with the operability and response power of the S100H can be used comfortably.
It's one of those films that you want to see as the backbone of a strategic rockshore game.
S106H/PS
The dedicated design breathes a sense of life into the plug.
There are many anglers who complain about the water bite of plastic lures in rockshore games where scaffolding is limited. The ability to properly move the diving pencil in situations with high scaffolding and unneri ensures that fish can be lured out from a distance, leading to bite inducements. As a rod that calls itself the Plugging Special, the design that maximizes the suppression of error action makes it the most reliable presence in the actual fishing scene.
As an example of the test results, it evoked reactions from targets regardless of the area, such as yellowfin tuna in the 10 kg class in Kozushima, Kasumiaji in the 8 kg class at Amami Oshima, and over 10 kg over hiramasa in northern Kyushu.
Naturally, there is no doubt that this result was derived from the unmistakable benefit of the flexible rod tip, which maximises the movement of the lure, born out of the pursuit of plug-only rod action.
As a assumed use area, it is as wide as the S100H, and it is ideal for targeting blue objects in nearby Jiiso and Okiiso, 10 kg size yellowfin such as Izu and Kozushima, large blue objects and yellowfin in the Goto Islands of Nagasaki Prefecture, the male and female archipelagos, and blue objects and Sujiara in the Koshikijima Islands of Kagoshima Prefecture, and large blue objects in the Uji Archipelago and Kusagaki Archipelago. Create chances without being bothered by the error action of the plug and awaken the instinct of the target.
S98XH/JS
For those who want to stick to the operation of metal jigs.
The short rod length in jig operations, which require the most hard work in the rockshore, directly leads to a reduction in the burden on anglers.
On the other hand, when fighting from near the bottom to the edge of the rock, it is advantageous to have a longer rod length to reliably lift large blue objects.
While reducing the burden of jig maneuvers in jiggrods with contradictions that never coincide, Blanks was designed in search of the longest length that could be fought to the advantage in a fight.
He derived an optimal solution of 9 feet 8 inches.
With a moderate amount of tension to manipulate the metal jig at will, the tip moves the jig when you want to move it, pull it out when you want to release tension, and manipulate the jig as you wish.
Then, with his strong blank power and length, he decided the game at once from the danger zone.
Regardless of location, such as nearby or remote islands, there are many situations where only a 120 to 150 g metal jig can approach the fish, and it is common to encounter situations where only metal jigs can fish comfortably, such as strong wind, waves, high scaffolding, fast currents, and depth.
Wherever you go, you need a jig, and inevitably the area where this rod is used is wide, and it will be a rod that you will always bring to the iso from the nearby iso to remote islands such as the male and female archipelago.
Challenging a large blue object with a metal jig in the iso is a super difficult game.
Here's a rod to tackle the high wall of catching a 20kg blue thing from the shore with a metal jig.
104XH/PS
The plug is operated comfortably with a length design that considers physical strength.
As a heavyweight lure cast from the iso, around 100g is one guide. Bat power that can fly heavy weight lures with great aerodynamic resistance and high load, and flexible tips that give life by diving firmly into the water.
If the plugweight exceeds 100g, there is an additional 10 ~ 15 g if the hook split ring is added. The bat power that can throw far in the direction determined by assuming them corresponds not only to casts but also to unexpectedly strong opponents during fights.
As for the operation of the lure, the width of the lure weight is wide that can be handled by the flexible tip like the S100H, and it covers up to a general plug of 60 g.
From fishing in the Jiiso and Okiiso islands aimed at the nervous massa of spring, to the Goto Islands, the Men's and Women's Archipelago, the Koshiki Islands, the Uji Archipelago, and the Kusagaki Archipelago, they challenge themselves with powerful tuna and other blue objects.
FEATURE
The basic structure of the next generation has evolved by adopting high-strength materials.
Shimano's unique design and manufacturing methods thoroughly pursue even higher strength in all directions, such as bending, screwing, and crushing. Shimano's original basic structure, Spiral X, which enhances rod performance from the core, uses carbon tape using high-strength resin realized by nanoalloy ® technology. We have realized further high strength with selected materials. Compared with the general structure, the screw strength is 1.4 times and the collapse strength is 2.5 times higher (compared to our company). Furthermore, in comparison with Spiral X, we achieved a 10% increase in screw strength and a 15% increase in crushed strength (compared to our company).

Shimano's original guide [X Guide] that brings out the original rod performance.
Born from the rod maker's point of view, the X-Guide was born to fully exploit the potential of the blanks. Shimano's original high-performance guide that fuses lightness, troublelessness, and casting performance to a high level.
Reinforced structure that further suppresses the screws that occur during casting and fighting. It features carbon tape tightening up in an X-shape from the outermost layer of Spiral X or the carbon sheet longitudinal and horizontal crossing structure. This ensures that the bend of the rod preserves the angler's intended orientation and that the original performance of the blanks is fully realized.
A method of wrapping molding tape used in the process of baking blanks at an extremely fine pitch. Since the blanks are tightened at a more uniform pressure, they greatly contribute to higher strength. Its delicate pitch draws a high-quality exterior design.
Special processing succession specification that enhances the fixing force of the joint part and also achieves ease of removal. If you twist the rod when inheriting, it will be tightened like a screw, increasing the fixing force and making it difficult for the seam to come off. When removing it, you can easily release the fixing by twisting it in the opposite direction. (Adopted by Sol Rod)
A specially designed guide for trouble-free performance
The main line material is the recent rockshore game where the use of the PE line has become mainstream. In order to improve the troubleless performance at this time, the caliber of the guide and the height of the frame were reviewed from the beginning. By making the guides smaller in diameter, the PE line converges immediately after it is released from the reel and prevents flapping. In addition, by setting the height of the frame, it is difficult to blank touch the fluttering PE line, and it is designed to suppress fluff.
Unique shape to prevent power loss
The grip end part has been designed to be a unique shape for optimal ease of use for rockshore. It is designed to make it easy to apply force to the puller when casting, and to make it easier to fight waist hoard during fights. In addition to preventing power loss, the operability of the rod is also enhanced. It is also assumed that the material is made of rubber and the butt of the rod is placed on the ground for a fight. Compared to EVA material, it also has the effect of reducing the risk of sharpening the butt of the rod.
Careful shape that enhances the operability of the plug
Both sides of the rear grip are flattened to improve the operability of the plug. It is designed to increase the stability when sandwiched on the side and make the operation of the plug more comfortable. Since it is easy to move up, down, left and right, it is designed to increase the sense of stability when interacting with fish.
