About this rod

The original, remastered. Our first Shore Game series helped define the modern UK lure rod. The new Shore Game X develops this concept further with a fast-action blank that delivers long, accurate casts and precise lure control. This fast recovery allows you to work lures with less effort, transmitting more feel and feedback directly to your hand.

The blank is built from Japanese Toray 36T carbon with an X-Cross carbon cloth winding, making it lightweight yet exceptionally strong. This construction improves torsional resistance, reducing blank twist for a faster, cleaner recovery, even when punching into the wind or fishing rougher conditions. It also provides excellent control when playing fish, helping you guide them safely around structures.

Finished with Fuji Sic K-Guides for smooth line flow and minimal line twist, plus a Fuji VSS reel seat, the Shore Game X pairs premium performance with a sleek, modern appearance.

About HTO

I've had a lot of respect for George and the HTO crew going right back to when we opened in 2010. Back then there was hardly any proper lure tackle in the UK — you were stuck selling generic gear, which I never enjoyed. HTO came along and built the rods the UK market was actually missing, and they've always been quick to react to what anglers here need. They give me an alternative to the Japanese rods: different actions, different grips, and gear that fits how we fish over here.
