To meet the needs of today's passionate Ulua anglers demanding lighter and more powerful rods, Shimano designed the eye-catching Teramar Hawaii (HI) series of rods with the durable performance that matches the powerful Ulua and exemplifies those that spend countless hours in their pursuit. Engineers built the Teramar HI series of rods utilizing TC4 blank construction — a dynamic core of T-Glass material overwrapped with a spiral pattern of high-modulus graphite — for added durability and an unbelievable strength-to-weight ratio. Premium componentry adorns the 13-foot models for added performance and durability: The Fuji DPS reel seat with locking nut provides a solid connection to the reel, and the diamond-wrapped shrink tube handle delivers an enhanced grip during tough battles. A 13-inch stainless steel butt and ceramic guides stand up to the abuse of fishing along rocky shorelines. The all-new Teramar HI give anglers the confidence they need for long casts and intense fish-fighting situations with hard-charging Ulua.
