Another level of power and maneuverability. A full-fledged shore casting series that has refined its comprehensive capabilities.
A full-fledged rod that seeks the best balance of "long-range casting, lightness, sharpness, and power " required for shore jigging and plugging games. High-precision casting and operability, as well as stable lift power in fights with large Kingfish.
Shimano's unique technologies, such as the Spiral X-core structure that provides even higher strength and the screw lock joint, which increases the locking force of the joints while making it easy to remove, dramatically improves rod performance.
The Colt Sniper XR [5-piece] was born from the desire to enjoy a comfortable and authentic shore jigging and plugging game with a highly portable rod in fields where it is difficult to carry a regular 2 piece rod.
The smooth bending of the blank, especially at the joints makes you forget that it is a 5 piece rod. During the fight, it has a power that is not inferior to a 2 piece rod.

Key Feature
The 5-piece design makes it safe and easy to access the hard to reach points
In my case, it takes about 20 minutes to get to the point, but the longest is about an hour's walk. The road is not flat but is covered with mountain roads and vegetation. At that time, the rod was carried in a backpack along with the case, which greatly changed the comfort on the road. With two pieces, you have to worry about the tip of the rod on the plants that pop out, and if it continues over and over again, it tends to be stressful. Above all, the free hands increase safety when walking. It is a rod that seems to create an opportunity to visit the point that you have been interested in but normally could not access with a regular 2-piece rod.

Technology
Spiral X Core
The basic structure of the next generation has evolved by adopting high-strength materials.
Shimano's unique design and manufacturing methods thoroughly pursue even higher strength in all directions, such as bending, screwing, and crushing. Shimano's original basic structure, Spiral X, which enhances rod performance from the core, uses carbon tape using high-strength resin realized by nanoalloy ® technology. We have realized further high strength with selected materials. Compared with the general structure, the screw strength is 1.4 times and the collapse strength is 2.5 times higher (compared to our company). Furthermore, in comparison with Spiral X, we achieved a 10% increase in screw strength and a 15% increase in crushed strength (compared to our company).
* Nano Alloy ® is a registered trademark of Toray Corporation.
Reinforced structure that further suppresses the screws that occur during casting and fighting. It features carbon tape tightening up in an X-shape from the outermost layer of Spiral X or the carbon sheet longitudinal and horizontal crossing structure. This ensures that the bend of the rod preserves the angler's intended orientation and that the original performance of the blanks is fully realized.
