That's the basis of the zoom system. That's why Shimano offers a variety of zoom systems to suit the characteristics of each rod. Mastering the zoom function will dramatically improve your ability to adapt to any situation, allowing you to instantly change the length of the handle, change the angle at which the rig enters the water, or even cast a line beyond it. It's now indispensable for exploring points more widely and precisely, and increasing your chances of catching mountain trout.
