• Shimano SELLUS SPINNING B SUS70MHB — spinning · 1/4-3/4 oz — Chosen for power-finesse bottom and light moving bait versatility: 7' length, Fast action, MH power, and a 1/4–3/4 oz window match common bass presentations that need crisp hooksets without exceeding spinning tackle comfort.
• Shimano INTENZA CASTING A NTZC74HA — casting · 1/2-1 1/4 oz — It’s shortlisted because its Heavy Fast build, 7'4" length, 1/2–1 1/4 oz payload, and 15–30 lb line rating align directly with the stated JIG AND WORM technique and with controlled bottom-contact fishing around moderate to heavy cover.
• Shimano INTENZA SPINNING A NTZS73MHA — spinning · 1/4-3/4 oz — This model combines Fast action, Medium Heavy power, and a 1/4–3/4 oz window that aligns with power-finesse tasks, adding control in wind/cover while keeping finesse versatility for tubes, weighted wacky/Neko, and compact swimbaits.
• Shimano CURADO CASTING CDC73XHA — casting · 5/8-2 oz — Shortlisted because its 7'3" length, Extra Heavy power, Fast action, and 5/8–2 oz rating align precisely with hollow‑body frog work and heavy‑cover control, while remaining versatile enough for compact punching and heavy toad presentations.
• Shimano EXPRIDE CASTING EXC711XHB — casting · 5/8-2 oz — It directly matches the FLIP PUNCH technique and pairs a long handle, Extra Heavy power, Fast action, and a 5/8-2 oz window that safely covers compact punching and heavy flipping while remaining precise for short, controlled presentations in dense cover.
• Shimano POISON ULTIMA PU172HA — casting · 1/2-1 1/2 oz — Chosen for jig-and-worm duty based on the explicit Technique plus 7'2" length, Heavy power, Moderate Fast action, and 1/2–1 1/2 oz rating—an effective spec blend for bottom-contact work around moderate cover.
