Shimano Terez BW High Speed Trolling Blade

The Shimano Terez BW High Speed Trolling Blade is a premium heavy-duty offshore rod engineered specifically for the extreme loads generated by high-speed trolling for powerful pelagic gamefish.

Part of Shimano’s flagship Terez BW offshore series, the High Speed combines Spiral X, Hi-Power X and UD Glass blank construction to deliver the strength, rigidity and controlled flex needed when trolling heavy tackle at speed. Shimano developed the Terez BW series with input from tournament-winning offshore captains and built dedicated models for specialized techniques including high-speed trolling.

The High Speed is available in 57-inch and 68-inch Heavy/Fast configurations, both rated for 80–130 lb PowerPro, giving anglers serious power for demanding bluewater trolling applications.

Built for High-Speed Trolling

High-speed trolling places substantially different demands on a rod than conventional trolling.

Heavy lures, increased trolling speeds and the violent initial strike of a large pelagic fish all place tremendous load on the rod and terminal tackle. The Terez BW High Speed is purpose-built to handle those demands while efficiently transferring power through the blank once a fish is hooked.

For anglers trolling high-speed presentations for wahoo and other powerful offshore predators, this is a dedicated tool rather than a general-purpose trolling rod.

Spiral X Construction

Shimano’s Spiral X technology uses multiple layers of carbon tape wrapped in opposing diagonal directions around vertical fibers.

This construction increases both compression and torsional rigidity without unnecessary weight, helping the blank remain stable under heavy loads and efficiently transfer power during the fight.

Hi-Power X Technology

Hi-Power X adds diagonally wrapped carbon tape to the blank’s outer layer, creating an X-pattern designed to increase overall strength and resist blank twisting.

That additional torsional stability is especially valuable when a heavy trolling rod is under substantial drag pressure and fighting a powerful fish at the end of heavy tackle.

Premium High-Speed Components

The High Speed models use Fuji SiC guides with a Winthrop roller tip, combining smooth line management with heavy-duty offshore durability. Both models feature a 14-inch foregrip and high-density EVA grip material.

The High Speed is a two-piece blade-style configuration, allowing it to be paired with the appropriate compatible butt assembly for the angler’s preferred trolling setup.

Why Choose the Terez BW High Speed?

This isn't simply a heavy Terez rod that can be used for trolling. Shimano built this particular Terez BW configuration specifically for high-speed trolling.

The combination of Spiral X, Hi-Power X and UD Glass provides the structural strength and rigidity needed under extreme loads, while the Heavy/Fast blank, 80–130 lb braid rating and Winthrop roller tip reinforce its purpose as a serious high-speed offshore trolling setup.

Premier Tackle Take

The Terez BW High Speed is exactly the type of rod we'd look at for serious high-speed wahoo trolling.

High-speed trolling puts enormous stress on the entire setup, particularly when a wahoo strikes at speed. This isn't the place for a general-purpose conventional rod. The Terez BW High Speed gives you the heavy blank, structural rigidity and offshore components needed for that specialized application.

We also like the blade configuration because it allows the angler to build the trolling setup around the butt configuration that works best for the boat and fishing style.

If you're putting together a dedicated high-speed trolling spread rather than trying to make one rod handle every offshore technique, this is where the Terez BW High Speed belongs.
