Shimano Expride Baitcast Rods

You don’t earn a reputation like Expride by accident. The Shimano Expride B Baitcast Rods take everything serious anglers loved about the original—and crank it up a notch. Built on the legacy of tournament-winning performance, this new generation brings superior sensitivity, balance, and comfort into one high-performance weapon.

Shimano’s Hi-Power X blank construction delivers pinpoint casting and powerful hooksets, while the Carbon Monocoque handle boosts vibration transfer for up to 30% more sensitivity. That means you feel everything—from a subtle bump to a crushing strike. CI4+ reel seats and Fuji SiC guides cut down weight without sacrificing strength, giving you all-day comfort and fish-fighting control. Whether you're working jigs, cranking rock piles, or punching mats, Expride B’s technique-specific actions have your back.
