WORLD SHAULA was released in 2010, 10 years after the release of Scorpion SHAULA, the flagship model of rods for bass fishing, in 2000. It was a high-grade versatile rod that could be used for various fishing categories, including bass fishing. SHAULA refers to the stinger star in the constellation Scorpius. As the name WORLD SHAULA indicates, this global rod has been refined by constantly introducing new functions to allow anglers to fish for all lure fish around the world. Shimano offers functions and various items that only it can propose based on its expertise in global fishing sites, including extension butts, which make it possible to enjoy game fishing based on casting and vertical techniques, such as jigging, using a single rod; and tour editions, which feature compact designs to ensure portability even as carry-on baggage. Shimano continues to offer the joy of fishing across national borders and fishing categories.
