**Exact dimensions.** True size, with no printing tolerance added.

## Notes

- The 2026 third-generation Shimano Zodias 172H-2 is a two-piece casting bass rod; Shimano Japan publishes its packed length (112.3 cm), weight, tip diameter and grip length.
- A rod tube or rack slot for this rod broken down needs at least 1123 mm of internal length.
- No CAD file: the maker publishes only overall sizes, and a plain box or cylinder is not useful design geometry. The table is the published data; parts with real geometry have their own pages.
