A new high-cost performer at the heart of Shimano’s bass rods, covering a wide range of modern fishing techniques. 172ML/H….VERSATILE Concept: A fusion of a finesse tip and a power butt with 3 power increases, creating a joint performance of flexibility and rigidity. An update of the previous model “172ML+-BFS,” which impressed our professional staff in North America with its exceptional maneuverability combined with an extra-fast taper. The new model features two distinct characteristics: a soft tip with minimal torsion to deliver lightweight rigs sharply and a strong butt power to enhance hooking accuracy. Light pitching and flipping in shallow water with backsliding worms or stick baits, or leaderless down-shotting while shaking weeds, etc.
