Product Description
Shimano 10AS1 Rod Clamp (Accessory) (TGT1598)
The Shimano 10AS1 Rod Clamp is a heavy-duty mounting accessory designed to provide maximum stability and security for your high-performance offshore reels. When battling hard-pulling pelagic species, the standard reel seat on a rod may experience flex or torque; this rod clamp reinforces the connection between the reel and the rod blank, preventing shifting and ensuring a solid leverage point during the fight.
Constructed from premium, corrosion-resistant aluminum with a sleek gold anodized finish, the 10AS1 is built to withstand the harsh salt spray and high-tension environments of blue-water fishing. This is a direct OEM replacement part, ensuring a perfect fit and maintaining the structural integrity of your gear.
