Shimano have refined the rod range, this has seen the EX range communicate a more accurate casting weight. The Shimano Catana EX spinning rods are a replacement of the DX range of rods. The Abu Tormentor is a rod that definitely outweighs its price tag and will be a popular choice for 2022. This in-conjunction with Abu’s skeletal reel seat provides greater sensitivity by allowing direct contact to the carbon blank at all times. The hybrid handle is also a nice touch, a cosmetically pleasing cork construction and a practical, low maintenance EVA handle that can be easily wiped down after each session. Don’t let the lightweight and slim rod blank deter you though, the Tormentor has plenty of backbone to bully even the most stubborn of fish – giving you total control and confidence during the fight. We found the rod compresses nicely and recovers quickly during a cast, making casting, effortless and accurate. The slender 24T carbon blank not only provides a crisp moderate fast action that is accustomed to spinning rods in a higher price range but the lightweight blank makes it an enjoyable rod to use all day. The Abu Tormentor spinning rod is a beautiful looking rod, blending modern lure rod features with classic spinning rod looks. Ergonomic reel seat with trendy appearance.All in all, the Whisker is one of the best spinning rods we’ve had the pleasure of stocking. The Fuji K guides are robust yet lightweight and are ideal for braid or mono use and the cork handle provides a bit of traditional flair. The Whisker rod blank recovers quickly on the cast, which makes it a dream to cast with. These rods have a very responsive blank that is a delight to use and has enough backbone to keep you in control during the fight. The medium-fast action rod comes in various lengths and casting weights that will cover an array of lure fishing tactics.

Still our go to choice for 2022! The Daiwa Whisker is an iconic rod that has gained a massive following amongst game anglers and we can see why.
