The Alivio Surf is Shimano's entry-level surf casting rod. It represents excellent value for money for the occasional surfcasting angler. The practical 3-piece design and XT30 carbon construction are fast-acting and adaptable to a wide variety of rigs.
The Alivio Surf is Shimano 's most affordable surf casting rod and an excellent choice if you're an occasional surf caster or on a very tight budget. This powerful range will safely handle sinkers up to 225g (8oz) and give you the power you need to cast with confidence, especially when using a simple overhead casting action. For better bite detection, especially when fishing at night, the tip features a white section for improved visibility with a headlamp.
The XT30 carbon blanks in the Alivio Surf range offer outstanding casting performance at a reasonable cost. In fact, the action, while designed to be fast, is also quite forgiving, allowing novice anglers to get the maximum range from their casting technique. For a rod in this price range, the Alivio Surf is still equipped with Shimano Hardlite guides made of high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel, so it can be used safely with monofilament lines or braid. The Shimano DPS reel seat accommodates surfcasting reels up to size 14000 and has been positioned to give you maximum leverage when casting.
