The three major Japanese companies, Shimano, Dayiwa and Gamma Kaz, have long dominated the Chinese Taiwan fishing rod market, among which Shimano has the best after-sales service and wider market coverage, winning a group of firm followers. Although the mainstream fishing method in China is not lure, Shimano still introduces its own flagship lure rod, in contrast, Dayiwa only sells basic models in Guanqi, while Gamma Kaz completely ignores this category, which shows Shimano's confidence in the Chinese lure market.
The Shimano Lua rod is not inferior to its own table rod, and its Lesath CX won the "Best Rod" championship at the 2014 EFTTEX (European Tackle Show) and the runner-up in 2016 with the FIRE BLOOD.
Dayiwa is mainly engaged in Luyagan under 1,000 yuan in China, and from the perspective of the brand's own positioning, it is mainly for the layout of the mass market. Shimano does not take cost performance as a selling point, the price of the basic model is already higher than most similar products on the market, and its business focus is on the advanced model of about 2000 yuan. Of course, there are not many highlights of the Luya rod launched by domestic manufacturers, and it also reserves a certain space for it to open up the market.
In order to consolidate its position in North America, Shimano and G.Loomis jointly developed the CONQUEST series, which is equipped with the SPIRAL-X HI-POWER X process with excellent anti-twisting effect as standard, and the price is as high as 4500 yuan, while the Lure rod equipped with the same process is generally concentrated in 2000-3000 yuan, and the price advantage is more obvious. The more popular LUNAMIS and EXSENCE GENOS are good choices, LUNAMIS is priced at about 2200 yuan, there are 4 specifications, if it is a sea water road, it is recommended to buy 2.9m or 3.05m model, the sea water road rod is mainly used on ships, coasts and breakwaters, if it is too short, the flying fish is more troublesome, and the fishing line is easy to be cut by the reef. Also produced in Indonesia, the price of EXSENCE GENOS is about 1,000 yuan higher, the top ring uses Fujifilm's more advanced SIC guide ring, which has a better line protection effect, and the Shimano X guide ring at the handlebar joint reduces air resistance and makes it more wear-resistant. In addition, the lightweight one-piece carbon grip reduces the burden on the angler.
The two flagship rods WORLD SHAULA and 18 CARDIFF MONSTER LIMITED ARE PRICED AT MORE THAN 4,000 YUAN, AND THEY ARE NOT SEPARATED FROM THE ADVANCED MODELS PRODUCED IN INDONESIA IN TERMS OF MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND ROD BODY MATERIAL.
All Shimano lure rods are equipped with rod bags and warranties, even the less expensive LUREMATIC is no exception, and there is no extra money to buy, which is very intimate for users.
