The Talavera Inshore Spinning D is the 2026 D generation of Shimano North America's Talavera Inshore spinning rods: seven one-piece models with Fast action. Four are 7'0" (Medium Light, Medium, Medium Heavy, Heavy), two are 7'6" (Medium Heavy, Heavy) and one is a 7'10" Extra Heavy. Shimano lists the blank material as graphite, with DIAFLASH carbon tape wrapped in a cross pattern along the lower blank. Guides are Fuji O, the reel seat is Fuji, and the grips are cork: an 11" rear grip on the 7'0" models and 13" on the longer three.
Lure ratings run from 1/8-3/16 oz (TESIS70MLD) and 1/4-5/8 oz (Medium) through 1/2-1 oz (Medium Heavy) and 1/2-1 3/4 oz (Heavy) to 3/4-3 oz on the 7'10" Extra Heavy. Line ratings are printed for PowerPro braid only, from 8-15 lb on the Medium Light to 30-65 lb on the Extra Heavy. List prices are $99.99 for the 7'0" models, $109.99 for the 7'6" models and $119.99 for the 7'10".
Shimano states that the D generation adds two models, the 7'0" Medium Light and the 7'6" Heavy. Compared with the C-generation table, the 6'6" models and the WM retail variants have no D counterpart, the 8'0" Extra Heavy (TESIS80XHC) gives way to the 7'10" TESIS710XHD at the same lure rating and price, the 7'6" Medium Heavy rises from $99.99 to $109.99, and the guides change from SeaGuide Zirconia to Fuji O. The C table printed mono ratings; the D table prints PowerPro ratings, so the two are not directly comparable. Shimano lists the series for the full range of inshore species with artificial lures or bait.
