Spinning Shimano Joy Rods are designed primarily for beginners to the world of fishing. We believe that the novice angler deserves high quality Shimano standards but at an affordable price. From their classic black design, to the combination of glass fibers with a low resin content, and a reliable/ergonomic neoprene handle, these rods are easy to use and provide blanks for a broad spectrum of action. No wonder the series is called Joy – Have Fun!
