Shimano Outlier OUC80XXH | Product Deep Dive

The Shimano Outlier 8'0" Extra-Extra-Heavy (OUC80XXH) was designed for anglers targeting trophy-sized fish with magnum-sized baits. The rod features Extra-Extra-Heavy power, moderate-fast action, and an extra-long handle for leverage, ideal for casting large glide baits and securing powerful hook-sets.

The Outlier series rods feature custom EVA handles with a shrink tube grip for comfort and control and a Shimano CI4+ reel seat for enhanced sensitivity. The double-foot Fuji K guides with SiC inserts improve durability and casting performance. Built with Hi-Power X and Spiral X technology to minimize blank twist and provide added strength without excess weight.

To build out the complete Outlier Tackle System, the Outlier OU80XXH pairs well with the Calcutta Conquest MD reel because the SVS MD Tune braking system provides the strength needed to throw large swimbaits, along with added braking customization. Designed for serious anglers, the Outlier OUC80XXXH rod is purpose-built to handle the demands of big baits and even bigger fish.
