Dispatch
In most circumstances, your order will be dispatched from the store closest to the delivery address you supply us. This means we can keep freight to a minimum and send items up to about 25kgs. Most courier companies charge based on weight or size, generally what is bigger. If we have to send your order from another store, we’ll pay any additional freight cost. If you’re ordering more than 1 item and the combined weight (or size equivalent) is more than 25kgs we reserve the right to charge additional freight. From time to time we might offer freight specials or even free freight. These offers will also be based on 25kgs. -

Rod
The Backbone has long established itself as one of the main pillars of the Shimano rod range. Offering anglers a versatile selection of blanks built on custom mandrels specifically for freshwater applications. At the core of the Backbone is a blank that features Shimano’s legendary TC3 construction, the same 3-Ply graphite weave technology the early Tiagra game rods were built on. The result is a lightweight and sensitive blank with exceptional lifting power and durability.
To effectively leverage this, reliable componentry has been used through the build. Aluminium Oxide Seaguides provide trouble-free line management with both monofilament and braided lines, while graphite reel seats and slim EVA grips provide optimal comfort and performance. You can rest assured, when selecting a freshwater rod from the Backbone range that you have a purpose-built rod designed specifically for your fishing application.
