Shimano 23 Surf Lander 425BXT Telescopic Surf Rod

Precision Surf Casting with Long-Distance Performance

Designed for surf anglers who want high performance at an accessible price, the Shimano 23 Surf Lander 425BXT offers advanced engineering and long-distance casting capabilities in a convenient telescopic design. Built with Shimano's cutting-edge blank technologies and outfitted with premium components like Fuji SiC guides and a Cascon grip, this rod delivers smooth, accurate casts every time. Whether you're fishing from the shore or targeting distant breakers, this rod provides the control and power you need for consistent success.

Advanced Rod Construction for Serious Surf Anglers

Spiral X + Hi-Power X Technology

This rod combines two of Shimano’s leading blank construction methods:

• Hi-Power X reduces rod twist from the moment you cast, improving accuracy and control.

• Spiral X adds additional strength and stiffness, especially when the rod is under load. Together, these technologies work to eliminate unwanted vibrations and power loss, letting you achieve maximum casting distance with greater precision.

Refined Fast Action Tuning

This next-generation fast-action blank has been tuned for quicker recovery and more efficient power transfer. The rod bends slightly toward the angler when loaded, creating a smooth, fluid casting motion that helps increase distance without the need for excessive force. The fast rebound also introduces a subtle pause during the cast, improving directional accuracy and control.

Superior Guide Layout for Enhanced Casting

Shimano Custom Guide Setup

Outfitted with Fuji’s K-Guide system and Shimano’s original X Guide design, this rod is optimized to reduce wind knots and enhance casting distance.

• A floating K-guide minimizes line friction and enhances flexibility.

• The high-footed WFMSG butt guide (W Caspin stainless steel frame SiC) allows for cleaner line release, especially when using thicker lines. The high placement helps avoid contact with the blank during casts, reducing drag and preserving line speed.

Comfort and Control

• Cascon Grip: Ergonomically designed for comfort and slip resistance during long fishing sessions.

• Telescopic Build: Compact and travel-friendly without sacrificing performance.

• Fuji Components: Built with top-quality Japanese hardware for reliability in harsh coastal environments.
