SHIMANO ZODIAS 70M5 5-Piece Travel Spinning Rod – Freshwater Bass, 7 ft Medium

SHIMANO ZODIAS 70M5: Travel-Ready Bass Rod for Freshwater Adventures

Designed for freshwater bass anglers who travel light, the ZODIAS 70M5 is a 7-foot, medium-action spinning rod built as a 5-piece pack. It balances compact carry with confident casting, making it a versatile companion for trips to unfamiliar lakes or new waterways.

From the moment you grip it, the carbon monocoque handle delivers a solid, responsive feel. The Hi-Power X construction adds stiffness where you need it, helping you maintain line control and reduce fatigue during longer days on the water. A lightweight CI4+ reel seat keeps weight down without compromising comfort, so you can fish longer without strain.

The rod features Fuji K Alconite guides for smooth line travel and durability, while the Fuji K SiC tip provides crisp feedback to help you detect subtle bites and guide your lure with precision. An EVA mid grip further enhances comfort during multi-hour sessions, especially in varying weather conditions.
