Shimano Outlier OUC711H | Product Deep Dive

The Shimano Outlier 7'11" Heavy (OUC711H) rod was designed specifically for big soft baits, jig hooks, and beast hook-style swimbaits weighing 1 to 5 ounces. This technique-specific rod features a long, spiral-wrapped EVA handle with a shrink tube for added grip and enhanced leverage, crucial components for setting large hooks.

All rods within the Outlier rod series were built with Hi-Power X and Spiral X construction to minimize blank twist and ovalization, resulting in lighter, stronger, and more accurate rods. The double-foot Fuji K SiC guides add durability, while the Outlier OUC711H rod's longer length and power make it ideal for slow, bottom-hugging presentations in challenging conditions like winter.

To build out the complete Outlier Tackle System with the OUC711H, a Tranx 300 B low-profile reel with its CoreSolid body and spooled with 20-pound fluorocarbon is ideal for throwing these larger baits. Overall, this Outlier tackle system delivers power, control, and precision for demanding swimbait fishing situations.
