Shimano have done the hard work and left most of their competitors far behind with the release of the 2020m Zodias. At 180 euros, it's a rod with a sensitivity that beats rods 3x more expensive. Shimano has not gone down the road of thinning the blank walls, where sensitivity is sacrificed for strength and the rods break at the first mistake. Shimano has simply made an insanely sensitive and lightweight reel seat out of patented CI4+ material, and a monocoque hollow hollow design with a lightweight but sturdy and very resonant handle. Try the Zodias and you'll understand what spinning sensitivity in the hand means. The result is an insanely sensitive and robust spinning rod at a reasonable price, recommended by Azūklė.
