Description
The Shimano Status Bluewater Light Deep Drop is a purpose-built deep-drop rod designed from the ground up for use with electric reels. If you’re sending baits to the depths for hapuka, gemfish, bluenose, bass groper and other heavy deepwater species, this is a rod built to do exactly that — and to do it comfortably, session after session.
At the heart of the rod is a robust E-Glass blank that delivers the outstanding lifting strength and responsiveness deep dropping demands. It loads up under heavy sinkers and big fish, absorbs the pressure of fighting from extreme depth, then drives that power back into lifting your catch off the bottom. A Fuji custom EVA butt keeps handling ergonomic and secure through long offshore sessions, so you stay in control in the harshest conditions.
This is the 6’0″, 2-piece, 30-50lb model — a versatile light deep-drop weight that pairs beautifully with mid-size electric reels like the Shimano Beastmaster 3000II for deep-drop and offshore work.
