The Technium Spinning B is a four-rod spinning series built for salmon and steelhead fishing, with models in 9-foot and 10-foot-6-inch lengths. The blanks combine TC4 glass and graphite carbon and are fitted with Fuji O-ring guides and cork grips. The series covers two power ratings, medium and medium-heavy, across two distinct lengths and action profiles.
The 9-foot models use fast action and are designed for casting spoons, spinners, and jigs with spinning tackle in river and tidal environments. The 10-foot-6-inch models shift to moderate-fast action and add foregrip length for two-hand control during long casts or mending. Line ratings run from 6-12 lb on the ML up to 8-17 lb on the MH models.
Pricing runs $199.99 for the 9-foot models and $209.99 to $219.99 for the longer 10-6 versions. The series is part of Shimano's Technium lineup, which uses technique-specific configurations across spinning, casting, mooching, trolling, centerpin, and sturgeon applications.
Deeper Dive
A closer look at notable models.
9-foot, medium power, fast action. 8-12 lb line, 3/8-3/4 oz. The shorter, faster tip allows quick hook sets on spinning jigs and drift presentations. Cork grip at 11.5 inches with a 3-inch foregrip. Compact and direct compared to the 10-6 models.
9-foot, medium-heavy power, fast action. 8-17 lb line, 3/8-1 oz. Adds power over the M model without changing length or action, useful for larger chinook or heavier current. Identical grip dimensions and guide train to the TNS90M2B at the same $199.99 price point.
10-foot-6, medium-heavy power, moderate-fast action. 8-17 lb line, 3/8-1 oz. A 4.5-inch foregrip supports two-hand casting on larger rivers. Cork grip 13 inches. The moderate-fast action softens the cast while still loading quickly, useful for casting heavier spinners or bobber setups at distance.
10-foot-6, medium-light power, moderate-fast action. 6-12 lb line, 1/4-1/2 oz. Lighter presentation option at the same length as the MH, with a shorter 4-inch foregrip and shorter rear grip at 11.5 inches. Priced slightly higher at $219.99, likely reflecting a lighter blank spec.
