Shimano EXC74HB Expride B Casting Rod 7'4"

The Shimano EXC74HB Expride B Casting Rod is engineered for serious anglers who require a rod that balances power, sensitivity, and control. With a length of 7'4" and a heavy power rating, this rod excels in situations that demand strength and accuracy, such as fishing with larger lures and targeting bigger bass. The combination of Shimano’s advanced technologies—CI4+ reel seat, Carbon Monocoque grip, and Hi-Power X blank construction—ensures that the rod delivers unmatched sensitivity and performance, making it a reliable choice for competitive fishing and power techniques.

Like other models in the Expride B series, the EXC74HB features the CI4+ reel seat, which significantly enhances sensitivity by reducing weight while maintaining exceptional rigidity. This allows for better vibration transfer from the rod to the angler's hand, helping to detect even the faintest bites. The lighter weight also increases casting efficiency, making this rod ideal for long days on the water when precision is key to success.

The Carbon Monocoque grip on the Shimano EXC74HB enhances sensitivity by up to 30% compared to traditional rod grips. This innovative, hollow design reduces unnecessary weight from the rear grip, maximizing the transmission of vibrations. The increased sensitivity enables anglers to feel every movement and subtle strike, providing a distinct advantage when fishing in challenging conditions or when subtle lure presentations are required.

Constructed with Hi-Power X technology, the EXC74HB features a blank wrapped in diagonally-woven carbon tape in an "X" pattern. This design enhances rod strength and prevents blank twist, ensuring better control and power during casting and retrieves. Paired with Fuji SiC guides for smooth, tangle-free casting and long-lasting durability, the Shimano EXC74HB is built to deliver top-tier performance for anglers targeting heavy cover or using larger baits.
