Shimano Raider Rods For Sale
Any angler that hasn’t been asleep for that last decade will know the Ian Miller designed Shimano Raider rods series. The 2015 release promises a few improvements and style changes, but with the continuation of all the same quality build and components, you have come to expect. Historically, many have considered the Raider series an entry level rod. Miller himself (Although the Shimano-Miller partnership has now ended) suggests that with the progression of the series, the Raider is now beyond entry-level status and what he would term “your first ‘serious’ rod.”
Reading through the specs, it’s easy to see where he is coming from. At this price level, this is some serious, quality kit yet very affordable.
Each rod is constructed and refined to suit a particular application whether casting at the racks for Bream or casting light, soft plastics for Flathead. Each Raider fishing rod is durable yet very lightweight.
2015 sees the return of Fuji guides, and a style makeover that retains the brilliant bronze colour yet presents a rod that looks like it’s a custom job in the top tier pricing bracket.
Grips are Shimano cork construction. Cork has a phenomenally sensitive feel. Nothing transmits action at the hook end like cork grips.
The Shimano Raider Fishing Rod Models are priced to get you out on the water experiencing the advantages of fishing with advanced technology. Raider has always been about making better rod technologies accessible to all anglers.
Shimano Raider rods make classy fishing for anglers of all levels. These Millar designs feature in tens of thousands of Aussie boats and Aussie fishing kits. They’re popular for a reason. They are just so darn good and represent outstanding value for money. There are a few from which to choose when ordering, study the specs, and make your choice. At this price, why not grab a couple.

Shimano Raider Rods Buying Guide
Shimano Raider Fishing Rods is a wide-spanning series of graphite rods that encompasses several ranges. You can find a rod for catching the likes of bream, flathead, trout, whiting and bass and more, while the heavier Shimano rods will be great for bringing in cod, barra etcetera.
Below we will Expand more in depth into the models we have for sale to help you choose the best option to purchase.
Light Inshore Spin Models
Starting with the 6101 Flathead spin, you guessed it; it’s ideal for flathead fishing. Don’t just limit yourself to flathead though; you’ll be well positioned to tackle a myriad of species in the lakes and rivers such as bream and whiting. The flathead spin name aside is a rod that places you well to target a range of freshwater species too like Australian bass, trout, yellowbelly or redfin.
The Bream Spin models have meed made to tailor to the demands of bream anglers of all levels. They also make ideal rods for targeting trout, whiting and other light class of fish in lakes and rivers.
Rack Raider models are among our best sellers out of the light range of Shimano Raider rods for sale. There versatile in length and capability. Ideal all-round estuary and lake rod for both freshwater and saltwater fishing styles targeting various species including bream, whiting, Australian bass, trout, yellowbelly perch.  Rack Raiders come in one or two piece options.
Light Offshore / Heavy inshore Models
Our range of Raider rods for heavy inshore and light to medium offshore fishing styles begin with our snapper series in either 701M, 701H or 762. Either model is ideal for targeting snapper and other light to mid class reef dwellers.  Shimano Raider Snapper rods also double up as great inshore rods to target queenfish, barra, fingermark, murray cod and other mid-class heavier inshore species.
Next, in the heavier class line up, we discuss Barra spin models. As the name suggests, Shimano has designed these models for barra anglers. They work wonders for a range of other fish where barra reside like mangrove jack, queenies, threadfin and more but also make an ideal pick for different mid-heavy river fishing styles like targeting murray cod or jew.
We also sell a range of baitcasters for the same style of applications but for those anglers who have an appreciation for baitcaster style reels over spin.
Surf Models
We have 2 models for sale in the Raider surf range, a light and a medium rod.
The light surf rod will be your ideal choice for anglers that as the model name suggests, fishes light. We’re talking the angler that targets the beach gutters with baits such as worms, cockles and small strip baits for the likes of bream, whiting, dart and flathead.  On this particular rod, we suggest purchasing a Shimano 4000, 5000 or 6000 size spinning reel for the ideal match.
The Raider Medium Surf Rod is ideal for all the earlier mentioned fish species that we discussed in the light range with the addition of slightly more heavyweight species such as salmon, tailor, kingfish and even school mulloway. For ideal performance, we suggest matching to a Shimano spin reel between a 5000 and 8000 size model.
Whilst these rods are marketed as a surf rod they will be equally as good for light to medium rock fishing applications such as for the angler who targets rock blackfish otherwise known as drummer as well as a wide range of other light-medium rock species.
Raider Egi Rod Squid Fishing Model
Most of us love squid, whether it is in the form of calamari rings, in a mixed seafood Asian style dish or my personal favourite, salt and pepper calamari. However, nothing beats the combination of the cuisine you love with the freshest ingredients and there is no better way to know you are getting fresh than catching it yourself. That’s where the new Shimano Raider EGI Rod 802 model comes in to play.
Shimano Raider Egi rod is for squid fishing. However, if you are out and about don’t be put off using it as a rod for some soft plastic or blade fishing as well should there a few bream or flathead are around, and you don’t have another dedicated rod for this application.
Back to squid though this rod makes an ideal choice for any angler fishing shore or boat. Usually, you will encounter squid off rock platforms and around structure where there is a lot of seaweed, they like to reside in harbours under vessels, and you can also encounter them in lake and river systems as well, especially in the channels where the river meets the ocean and where there is a bit of structure around.
Shimano Raider Travel Rods
As the name suggests, the Shimano Raider Travel Rod series is a design concept with the fishing traveller in mind. Store it with ease in your caravan or camper, or even stash it in the boot of your car when you’re out and about perhaps even sneak in a quick fish during your work lunch break.
For sale here at , we have a range or raider travel rods to choose from as we stock the 593 Baitcaster, the 633 Barra Spin, the 703 bream spin, the 703 snapper, the 703 saltwater heavy spin and the 904 Shore spin model.

Model 703 Bream Spin is a 7ft 3pc construction Raider Travel Rod. Ideal for targeting the lighter end of the spectrum from bream, to bass, trout, whiting, perch and any other light class of fish.
Model 703 Snapper Raider Travel Rods is a model for those who head out offshore to target snapper and other reef fish. However, this portable raider rod will also be suitable for heavier inshore fishing for the likes of barra, mulloway and other slightly more impressive fish species.
Model 703SW Saltwater Spin Heavy – Is a heavy saltwater spin rod be it used for inshore or offshore.  Rated to 6-10kg, you have a range of heavier style fishing applications covered.
