Shimano has introduced the Compre Trolling rod series, a versatile and finely tuned lineup of trolling rods crafted for anglers targeting freshwater species in the Great Lakes and beyond. Built for precision and durability, the Compre Trolling series is the ideal companion for traditional trolling techniques like Dipsy Diver, Planerboard, and Leadcore applications, while offering versatility for additional trolling styles.

“The Compre Trolling D series is designed for anglers who demand quality and reliability while employing classic trolling techniques,” said Bob Mahoney, Shimano Freshwater Marketing Manager. “These rods provide the perfect blend of action and durability to meet the needs of dedicated anglers chasing everything from walleye to salmon.”

The Compre Trolling D series blends lightweight construction with rugged durability to endure countless hours on the water. Their classic action profiles are tuned for precise bait presentation and optimal fish-fighting power, making them the ultimate tool for trolling enthusiasts. 

SeaGuide Zirconia guides offer superior hardness and durability to handle the demands of trolling while maintaining smooth line flow during intense battles. The Fuji reel seat ensures a secure fit and reliable performance under heavy loads, while a full-cork handle delivers both comfort in hand and added protection when secured in rod holders.
