Shimano Aero X5 Competition Pole 16m

The Shimano Aero X5 Competition 16m Pole offers a superb all round package ideal for anglers targeting commercial venues. Built on the same mandrel as the top of the range Aero Pro series, but with a stronger carbon fibre that makes them more forgiving when handling larger carp. Carrying many of the same features as the more expensive models including Shimano’s advanced taper design that gives a superior balance and feel in the hand. A simple alignment system that ensures the spine is fully lined when shipping out. So your always fishing with exceptional stiffness and responsiveness.
