The Alivio Surf is Shimano’s surf casting entry-level rod that offers excellent value for money for the occasional or novice angler. The practical 3-section design and XT30 carbon construction mean it has a fast action and adapts to a wide range of leads.

The Alivio Surf is Shimano’s most affordable surf casting rod and is a great choice if you are new to surf casting, a casual surf casting angler, or if you are on a very tight budget. This deceptively powerful range will safely work with sinkers up to 225g (8oz) and give you the confidence to cast with power, especially when casting overhead. For excellent bite detection, especially when fishing at night, the toe has a white section to increase visibility when using a headlamp.

The blanks XT30 carbon from the Alivio Surf range offer remarkably good casting performance for such an affordable cost. In fact, the action, although fast in design, also has good recovery, which helps inexperienced anglers get maximum range when casting. Unusually for a low price range rod, the Alivio Surf is equipped with high quality Shimano Hardlite stainless steel tangle free guides, corrosion resistant and safe to use with both monofilament and braided lines. They have a Shimano DPS reel seat perfect for size 14000 surfcasting reels, and it has been positioned to allow you maximum leverage when casting.
