Quite possibly the most versatile series of inshore rods within the lineup, Shimano designed the all-new GLF B series of rods with actions built specifically for anglers tossing artificial lures or live bait on the Gulf Coast. Now featuring DIAFLASH technology — diagonally-wrapped carbon tape forming an array of “X” shapes on the butt section — to deliver an advantage during powerful casts and tough battles by preventing rod twist and enhancing hook-setting power. The casting and spinning rods within the GLF B series feature a shorter butt section — ideal for wading anglers — and boast moderate actions to prevent pulled hooks from soft-mouthed trout. The series features a Shimano Custom Reel Seat and highlights a Hybrid EVA + Rubber Cork Grip for all-day comfort and fishability. Built upon a legendary name, the all-new GLF B series adds enhanced Shimano technology to a series with a strong reputation for inshore performance.
