SHIMANO MOONSHOT

Shimano Moonshot 9’6” MH Shore Casting Rod

The Shimano Moonshot is a Japanese-designed shore casting rod built specifically for saltwater fishing from beaches, rocks, and harbour walls. Designed to throw hardbaits and metal jigs extreme distances, the Moon Shot is a true specialist for sea bass and other shallow-water predators, offering outstanding performance at a remarkable value.

Built on a high-modulus full carbon blank and reinforced with Hi-Power X technology, the Moon Shot delivers excellent torsional rigidity, fast tip recovery, and superb casting accuracy. The result is a rod that feels light and responsive in hand, yet powerful enough to handle long casts, aggressive retrieves, and hard-fighting fish in open water.

The 9’6” MH model is the distance specialist of the range—perfect for anglers who need maximum reach, strong hook-setting power, and control when fishing larger lures and metal jigs in surf and exposed conditions.
