The Shimano TAG-EM Rod Range is built to make serious offshore game fishing more accessible without compromising on performance. Constructed on tough E-Glass blanks with Fuji SiC guides or specialized tips, these rods are engineered to handle demanding encounters with tuna, marlin, swordfish, and deep-water species.
With options ranging from versatile runner rods to bent butt models for chair or heavy tackle work, plus a dedicated Sword rod and a Deep Drop model, TAG-EM rods deliver comfort, control, and Shimano’s proven reliability. Whether fishing stand-up or locked into a harness, these rods are designed to put you in charge of the fight.
