La caña Shimano Biocraft XR Salmón está diseñada para pescar salmones, truchas arco iris y truchas marinas en ríos utilizando streamers, moscas húmedas y moscas de tubo:
Características:
- Blank de carbono de alto módulo de gran longitud con HPC, Biofibra, Nanosheet y Diaflash.
- Fuji SiC tipo K combinado con una fuerte pata doble Seaguide Guías SSG para hacer frente a las condiciones más duras.
- Robusto portacarretes Seaguide AFS con empuñaduracon manivela S-grade powercork de doble mano.
- Bolsa de terciopelo y tubo de transporte hardcase.
Tecnologías:
- BIOFIBRE: Mejora por completo la fuerza de la caña y la resistencia a golpes, pese a que produce un aumento de la fuerza de la puntera. La tecnología BIOFIBRE de SHIMANO da un excelente control la lucha contra nuestra presa y nos permite aplicar más fuerza durante ellas.
- DIAFLASH: la capa del exterior de la empuñadura está envuelta diagonalmente en direcciones opuestas con cintas de carbono/carbono encintado, el cual forma una X. La construcción DIAFLASH de SHIMANO mejora el poder de atracción de la caña, a pesar de que se minimiza la pérdida de energía a través de la excesiva flexibilidad del mango
- HIGH PRESSURE CARBON: es un proceso el cual proporciona más fuerza y más sensibilidad al blank. HPC de SHIMANO da lugar a cañas mucho más fuertes con un rendimiento más consistente y una mejorada sensibilidad.
- NANOSHEET: Es una construcción de múltiples capas de carbono, las cuales incorporan una distribución de resinas Nano tecnología. Esto da lugar a un incremento de la fuerza/solidez de la caña y una reducción de su peso. Dicha tecnología también incrementa la fuerza y mejora su sensibilidad.

How to choose your fly fishing rod
FUNCTIONS TO BE FULFILLED BY THE FLY FISHING ROD
The fly rod fulfills or should fulfill several functions, which are:
- To transfer to the line and to the fly the necessary energy to reach a certain distance
- To control the line in and on the water
- To allow manipulation of the fish (fish, when it is already out of the water) when we have managed to hook it
HOW TO CHOOSE THE ROD
If you want to buy a fly fishing rod, consider the following factors:
- The species you want to fish for
- The environment or places where you are going to fish
- The rod material
- The length of the rod
- The weight
- Rod action
- Budget
Regarding the material, the best rods are made of carbon fiber. It is a resistant, light and economical material, so there is a huge variety of rods. As for the handle, the material normally used and the most advisable is cork.
THE ACTION
It is advisable to acquire a medium action rod, rather than a slow one, as this will allow you to dominate more easily almost any type of fish.
Another important point is the number of sections in which the rod is divided, being possible to find rods of up to 6 sections; although the great majority is divided in 2 or 3 sections.
Regarding the action and although there is no standard definition or method to determine the "action" of a rod, in general terms, the action is defined by two variables:
- The speed at which a rod returns to its normal position
- How and where the rod bends under the weight of a fish
- The ratio of rod stiffness to rod weight (Modulus)
- The degree of thinning from the base to the tip
- Fast action (Tip): 30% of the length of the rod is bent (the thinner part, of course). These are tip action rods
- Mid Action: 60% of the rod length is bent. They are known as semi-parabolic rods
- Slow action (Full): 90% of the length of the rod is bent. These are known as parabolic reeds
The first step in obtaining a balanced rig is to make sure that the specific rod number matches the specific line and reel number. A rig consisting of a No. 8 reel loaded with a No. 3 line attached to a No. 12 rod will most likely not be balanced.
If this first point is correct, we will continue with the following steps
- Static balancing:
- Assemble the rod, placing the reel already loaded with line
- Stand up and hold the rod, by the handle, horizontally with the hand you usually use for casting
- Release the rod and hold it in balance with the middle part of your index (or middle) finger
- Slide your finger toward the tip or butt to locate the balance point
- The balance point should be inside the handle, over the last third of the handle
- Mark the balance point
- Static balance with load:
This test attempts to determine the balance point of the line off the reel as if it were being cast.- Assemble the rod, placing the reel already loaded with line
- Draw approximately 9 m. of line so that the nine-meter point is close to the reel
- Carefully reel in the line that is outside and place it on the rod tip
- As in the previous test, try to locate the balance point
- Mark this second balance point in such a way that it is not confused with the first mark
- Adjust to the balance point:
If the first balance point is outside the last quarter of the handle and lies on the rod body, then the rig is too light.
If you could not find this point inside the rod, it is because the rig is too heavy, so then the reel and line are NOT compatible. Similarly, the second balance point should be above the handle, at the tip of the handle or right at the junction of the handle and the rod body, you do not need to make adjustments.
If the second point is at most 1 or 2 cm above the rod body (blank) you can still try to correct the balance by adding a little more backing line or putting some weight on the butt.
Once you have a balanced rig, you are ready to start practicing.
