SHUGENDO Spinning Rod Type 1 SH4MH - 7-28 g

Product highlights

The SHUGENDO SH04 rod is a lure fishing rod designed for demanding anglers seeking finesse, precision and comfort on the water. Perfect for technical sea bass fishing, it offers excellent handling to precisely control your lure trajectory, even in cluttered areas or near rocky structure. Its power reserve allows you to effectively check fighting fish while maintaining a smooth action.

With a fast, lively action, this rod transmits the slightest bite straight to the angler’s hand. Animations with soft plastics, jerkbaits, minnows and stickbaits are easier, whether fishing in a straight retrieve, sawtooth motion or walking-the-dog. The overall balance of the rod reduces fatigue during long sessions—whether fishing from the shore, boat or float tube—making it a versatile spinning rod suitable for a wide range of situations.

Reactive and resonant, the rod highlights the most discreet bites, particularly during slow bottom baits or light scraping. This sensitivity is especially useful to outwit wary, educated fish in both saltwater and freshwater. In summary, the SHUGENDO SH04 rod for sea bass, zander and perch combines comfort, precision and efficiency.

Advantages and key strengths

The main advantage of this rod for sea bass and shore predators lies in its sensitivity. Every contact with the bottom, every current change, every timid bite is relayed precisely, allowing you to instantly adjust your retrieves. This resonance is equally valuable for zander and perch fishing where detecting subtle bites often makes the difference between a successful day and an empty net.

Its maneuverability is another major strength. The SHUGENDO SH04 allows you to skip a lure under overhangs, target a precise spot around structure, or cast tight to a quay with great ease. Casts are accurate and smooth, optimizing lure presentation and increasing strike chances.

Versatile, this rod naturally fits into the modern angler’s arsenal who alternates between sea and freshwater. It handles a wide range of lures—from weighted shads to small hardbaits and surface stickbaits. For the angler looking to invest in a saltwater and freshwater spinning rod capable of covering many situations, the SHUGENDO SH04 offers an excellent compromise between feel and control.

Usage tips

To get the most from this versatile lure rod, pair it with a reel sized for coastal fishing and freshwater predators, spooled with a fine braid complemented by a fluorocarbon leader. This combination maximizes overall sensitivity and helps better detect bites and obstacles.

In saltwater, use it to prospect rocky edges, estuaries, breakwaters or beaches with soft plastics animated slowly, jerkbaits or surface stickbaits. In freshwater, the rod excels for zander and perch when vertical fishing, straight retrieves or towing, as well as along river and lake banks. Adapt lure choice to the season and fish activity to fully exploit the potential of this SHUGENDO predator rod.

The range offers several variations to suit different fishing styles. Choose the model that best matches your preferred techniques while keeping in mind the same guiding philosophy: a reactive, enjoyable and effective rod for sporting fish.
