SHIMANO STAATEN 581BC48 BAITCAST ROD
26ST581BC48
Shimano Staaten Baitcast Rod
Built for barra and cod anglers who need brute lifting power, heavy lure control, and the confidence to fish tight to snags.
The Shimano Staaten Baitcast Rod range is a purpose-built lineup for Australian anglers who chase big, aggressive fish in heavy structure. Named after the rugged Staaten River in far north Queensland, these rods are designed to handle the kind of fishing where gear gets punished: tight casts to timber, big hits close to the boat, and full-pressure fights from fish that don’t play fair.
The Staaten series is built on Pure Carbon Super X blanks, offering strong lifting power with a responsive feel for working hardbodies, big surface lures, swimbaits, and heavy soft plastics. With genuine Fuji guides, a custom carbon reel seat, and comfortable EVA/cork grips, these rods are designed to fish hard and last.
With six baitcast models in the range, covering medium heavy through to extra heavy, the Shimano Staaten Baitcast Rod gives anglers a high-performance, high-durability option for barra, cod, mulloway and even big snapper work, without stepping into premium price territory.
