The Teramar XX Northeast (NE) series of rods set a new standard in performance with technique-specific powers, actions, and features for targeting fluke, striped bass, tautog and other inshore game fish in the Northeast region of the United States. The Teramar XX NE rods incorporate Shimano's proprietary Spiral X and Hi-Power X technologies for increased power transmission through the rod for increased casting distance as well as reduced blank twist to make this series of rods the epitome of performance. Extensive field testing with Shimano Pros in the Northeast allowed Shimano's Product Team to fine-tune and tailor every aspect — from the handle shape to the guide train — to make Teramar XX NE the ultimate rod for the inshore waters of the Northeast.
