Shimano Dialuna Spinning Inshore S86M 8'6" 7-38g
The Shimano Dialuna S86M has become one of my favourite all-round bass rods for anglers who want a lightweight rod that still has plenty of power in reserve. At 8'6", it is the perfect length for covering plenty of water from the shore, while the 7-38g casting range comfortably handles everything from small soft plastics through to larger minnows, surface lures and metal lures.
Strangely, out of all the JDM Shimano rods we have, we really like the Dialuna and it is one of the cheapest!
Being part of Shimano's premium Japanese Domestic Market (JDM) range, the Dialuna feels incredibly crisp and responsive in the hand. The Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank construction gives you outstanding casting distance, excellent sensitivity and impressive fish-playing power without adding unnecessary weight. Every cast feels effortless, and you'll notice just how quickly the blank recovers, helping you achieve greater accuracy and distance.
For UK bass fishing, this rod is right at home fishing popular lures such as the Xorus Patchinko, Asturie, Duo Tide Minnow, Feed Shallow and soft plastics. It has enough backbone to comfortably handle bigger fish around rough ground while still having the forgiving tip needed to keep hooks pinned during the fight.
The Carbon Monocoque handle and Shimano CI4+ reel seat transmit every knock, bump and take straight into your hand, making it a pleasure to fish all day. Finished with Fuji SiC K-Series guides, the Dialuna is equally suited to braided lines and offers superb line management in windy conditions.
If you're looking for one premium lure rod that will cover almost every aspect of UK bass fishing, it's difficult to look past the Shimano Dialuna S86M.
