Shimano - [New] 26 NESSA XR S110MH/JERK 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.

S110MH/JERK Features:

A specialized model designed for jerk-style fishing, where the lure is actively worked to trigger aggressive strikes. The MH-power blank makes it easy to perform dynamic lure movements, including slack-line jerking that sends the lure darting sharply, with minimal effort. It also performs exceptionally well when working metal jigs with short-pitch jerks.

Despite the demanding nature of continuous jerking, the rod is designed to reduce fatigue during long sessions, allowing anglers to maintain their preferred fishing style throughout the day.

In addition to targeting flatfish and migratory species from the surf, it delivers excellent performance for popular Hokkaido targets such as white-spotted char (Amemasu) and cherry salmon (Sakuramasu).
