Shimano Aerlex 425CX Surf Rod
The Aerlex Surf combines affordability with impressive casting performance and build quality, making it ideal for the serious angler with a limited budget or the improving angler who wants to move up the price scale.
The Aerlex Surf sits just below the middle of the Shimano surf range and offers a great combination of affordability and high performance. Designed with a fast tip, the rod has a versatile casting action which can be easily compressed and will suit anglers of all abilities to achieve their longest casts. If you want affordability combined with good casting performance and sensitivity, the Aerlex Surf could be your perfect solution.
The full carbon blank of the Aerlex is remarkably lightweight and well-balanced yet deceptively powerful when pushed to its maximum compression. You will almost certainly be surprised at how well it casts, irrespective of your experience of strength. The sensitivity comes from the hybrid tip fitted. The hybrid tip features a seamlessly spliced solid section, which magnifies sensitive bites from smaller fish. The stunning blank is fitted with Seaguide XOG or XEOG guides, which are all corrosion-resistant, lightweight and safe for use with braid.
A Shimano DPS reel seat will take the largest 14000 surfcasting reels and has been positioned to enable you to create maximum leverage with your bottom hand when casting.
Based purely on a cost-to-performance ratio, it is hard to beat the Aerlex Surf for value and with high-quality fittings, stunning graphics, and an easy-to-cast action, it is a rod that will appeal to a wide range of anglers of all abilities.
