The Shimano 25 Abyss SW 6'0" 80-130lb Deep Drop Rod is purpose-built for New Zealand's toughest offshore fishing. Whether you're deep dropping for hapuku, bass and bluenose or tackling heavyweight offshore species, this rod is engineered to deliver exceptional strength, lifting power and reliability under extreme loads.

Built on Shimano's advanced T45 blank, the Abyss SW combines reduced weight with outstanding hoop strength and sensitivity. Its premium construction allows anglers to stay connected to the bite while maintaining the backbone needed to lift hard-fighting fish from the depths.

Designed specifically for deep-water fishing, this model features an ultra-strong AFTCO bent butt for secure rod holder use, along with heavy-duty Fuji Silicon Nitride guides that provide smooth, reliable line management under heavy drag pressures. It's an ideal match for today's high-powered electric reels and heavy overhead setups.
