Shimano Maikuro Rods Buying Guide
Maikuro Rod Models For Sale – Here at we cater for all anglers, so we have ranges to suit the angler that wants to fish the lakes, rivers and dams through to the offshore angler fishing with light jigs, bait or lures for reef fish right through to the rock and beach fishing angler. Whatever you fish for be it in freshwater or saltwater chances are we have the ideal rod for you. Learn more available here in our buying guide.
Light Spin Models (Lake/ River etc) - Models 662SP, 702SP or 702MSP are Ideally suited to fishing in situations such as lakes, rivers, harbours and other light styles. All will be great for targeting bread and butter species such as Bream, Bass, flathead, sand whiting, trout, yellowbelly, redfin etc. With the exception of the 682 Spin model which will be ideal for slightly heavier style fishing so targeting barra, snapper and king george whiting.  For reel size take a quick look at the table above for our suggestions.
All of these rods are suited to casting from the banks, but also make great light rods for the boat and Kayak angler wishing to spool up with braid and cast lures of all kinds. 
Rock Beach Models - Models 902SP or 1062SU are ideal for rock and beach style fishing. The Maikuro 902 Shore Spin is the prime rod of choice particularly if spinning from the rocks and will match up perfectly with a 5000-6000 sized Shimano spinning reel.  The Maikuro 1062 makes the ideal light weight fishing rod for chasing rock species such as bream and drummer. This rod also suits the beach fisho targeting whiting, dart and for a bit of fun salmon and tailor as well. Match the 1062 up to a 4000, 5000 or 6000 sized shimano rod for ideal balance.
Additionally, either of these two models are perfect for casting lures such as metal slices into wave and wash, chasing aggressive surface hunters like Aussie Salmon and Tailor. As most Rock and surf anglers know, long rods will always induce serious fatigue. The Maikuro rock and beach fishing rod range does away with the traditional weighty feel of old school wave rods, taking much of the fatigue out of casting the surf and ocean rocks.  This is achieved without any loss in strength and pulling power.
As you might expect, casting manners are exceptional. The medium/fast actions are well supported by the Sea Guides, ensuring line will peal off your spool evenly, without huge amounts of cast killing friction. The butt assembly provides outstanding feel, translating every movement and inquiry directly to the angler. This feedback provides great feedback for timing strikes and adjusting retrieves.
The Maikuro range for rock and surf fishing are strong and robust. These features are critical for the harsh surf and rock environments that are traditionally very hard on all fishing equipment.
Offshore Boat & Heavy Spin - Models 722SWSP, 732SP or 572HSP. The models in this category covers inshore heavier fishing for casting lures at big Mulloway, Barra and inshore Snapper, as well as everything you can imagine from the blue water, such as big Kingfish and bottom dwellers like Pearl Perch. For reel type these rods suit spinning type reels. See our size guide in the above table for recommendations on reel sizes to suit the applicable rod model.
The emphasis on the Maikuro heavy fishing rod range is strength and sensitivity in a lightweight package. This is achieved via the combination of blank and butt assembly. The Nano 30 Ton Toray Graphite provides the foundation, offering power, strength and responsiveness while maintaining the lightweight feel that ultimately mitigates against fatigue. The EVA butt assembly is constructed of natural cork and extra hard EVA. A carbon hooded reel seat locks your favourite fishing reel in place, completing an assembly that is not only incredibly strong but transfers every bump and bite from the business end to the hands of the angler.
Light/Micro Jigging Rods -  Hitting the Blue Water to jig for hard fighters is one of the most exciting forms of our sport. It is also one of the more rigorous. Depending on the jig you are using or the techniques you employ, at day out jigging requires some pretty significant effort. Another factor often associated with jigging, is the cost associated with kitting up with high performance quality.
The new Shimano Maikuro Light Jigging Rods are super lightweight, taking out a significant amount of the effort required, therefore mitigating against fatigue. Either of the light jigging rods featured on this listing are designed for light to medium jigging styles. Perfect for Jigging on the reefs from a boat or inshore deep lakes targeting snapper and other average sized table fish.
Travel Rod Options - We all like to travel but one of the biggest challenges is where to fit the fishing rods among all our clothing and other travel essentials. Well, Shimano has solved this problem with a range of Maikuro travel rods for sale.
First, we have the 703LSP which is the ideal companion for the angler about to embark on a holiday where rivers and lakes are local. The 703LSP is a light spin travel rod rated 2-4kg for targeting the likes of trout, bass, bream, perch, flathead and all your other usual estuarine species.
Stepping it up a notch, we have the 703SW Travel rod which makes a better choice for those anglers targeting barramundi, mangrove jack, fingermark, mulloway, snapper and other mid-class fish. It’s a rod that will suit heavy inshore as well as light offshore fishing styles.
