Shimano Backbone Rod Buyers Guide
Firstly, runner tip, roller tip or fully rollered? That is the big question! If you are looking for an all-round rod then usually the standard runner tip model will suit best, you can do some basic trolling with this rod or heavy bottom bashing on the reefs. Runner tip makes a better choice for those that wish to fish with braid.
Roller models provide the added advantage of reducing friction between the line and the guides making them Ideal for trolling especially for large game fish. Standard rod guides can generate heat which can weaken mono which is why we personally recommend roller tip or fully rollered model for anglers using mono lines trolling lures or baits especially for large game and sports fish.
Next you need to pick a kg rating.
A Backbone 10 matches well with reels such as the TLD 20 using 10kg line. Ideal for mackerel, small tuna, kingfish and mid class game fish.
Backbone 15kg matches well to a 30-size game fishing reel with 15kg line to target tuna, sailfish, mahi mahi and other moderate class game fish species.
24Kg is perfect for use with a 50-size game reel and 24kg line. A great rod for targeting marlin, large tuna and other larger class game fish.
37kg model is ideal for targeting marlin and other large game fish using 37kg line class mono. We recommend a 50LRS or 80W reel on this rod.
