Shimano Alivio Slim Telescopic GT 9′ 10-30g

The Alivio Slim TE GT telescopic range covers a wide variety of freshwater and saltwater techniques, from spinning right up to light saltwater shore and rock fishing. Built on remarkably slim blanks, usually found on much more expensive rods, the Alivio offers outstanding value for money.
If value and choice is your requirement, or you are looking to buy a new rod for a young inexperienced angler, the Alivio Slim TE GT telescopic range really does tick all of the boxes. There is literally something for everyone in this popular range of nine budget priced rods. With light, medium and heavy actions available you are sure to be able to find an Alivio Slim TE GT to meet your needs.
The blank of the Alivio Slim TE GT is made from a composite carbon material that can cope with the knocks and mistreatment often associated with inexperienced anglers. However, the functional actions are surprisingly good for a rod that costs so little, with decent casting performance and forgiving fish-playing actions. Fitted with Shimano stainless steel Hardlite guides you can safely use these rods in both freshwater and saltwater and the use of an ergonomic EVA handle ensures a good grip at all times.
