Shimano 24 Dialuna Telescopic Model S96ML-T

The Shimano 24 Dialuna Telescopic Model raises the bar for telescopic rods by combining true shore-casting performance with pack-down convenience. Built with Spiral X and High Power X technology, it delivers the strength, rigidity, and smooth bending curve expected from a high-end two-piece rod. The 9'6" S96ML-T strikes an ideal balance between casting distance and maneuverability, handling a wide range of lures and inshore targets.
