Shimano - [New] 26 NESSA XR S110M/MH+ Surf Rod

2026/08 newly released.

A New Standard for Surf Fishing

The Shimano NESSA XR redefines the four essentials of modern surf fishing: action, power, lightweight handling, and trouble-free performance.

Designed for a wide range of surf conditions, the NESSA XR combines long-distance casting performance with responsive handling. Its blank features Spiral X Core and Hi-Power X construction, delivering excellent power and control while maintaining a lightweight feel.

A Carbon Monocoque Grip further enhances sensitivity and handling, providing refined performance through every stage—from casting and lure control to fighting fish.

For long-distance casting, X Guide Touch-Free Titanium helps promote smooth, trouble-free line release, an important advantage when casting with longer surf rods.

With an action designed to accommodate a wide variety of lures, the NESSA XR gives anglers the versatility to cover more water and adapt to different surf fishing situations.

Cast farther. Cover more water. Take on the surf with confidence.

S110M/MH+ Features:

A standout model in the XR series, featuring the most powerful and distinctive blank in the lineup. It combines a strong MH+ power butt section with Shimano’s proprietary Softube Top.

The highly flexible tip allows precise control of low-resistance lures such as sinking pencils, while the powerful butt section provides ample strength for fighting large flounder and hard-running pelagic species. These contrasting characteristics are seamlessly integrated into a single blank.

Built for demanding surf conditions, this model excels when casting heavy lures into strong headwinds and high waves. Its unique design opens up fishing situations that other models struggle to handle, making it an unconventional yet highly capable rod with exceptional potential.
