Shimano Exsence

The reel weighs just 180 grams, which significantly reduces wrist and arm fatigue during extended casting sessions. Its ergonomic design is specifically balanced to keep the setup feeling light and manageable even after hours of use.

With a 6.0 gear ratio, this reel retrieves 89 cm of line per handle turn. This speed is ideal for techniques that require quick line management, such as working topwater lures or keeping tension on a fish that is swimming toward you.

Yes, the precision drag system is rated for up to 9.0 kg of max drag. It is designed to provide consistent, smooth pressure, giving you the control needed to handle aggressive runs without worrying about sudden line breakage.

The 11 ball bearings plus one roller bearing ensure that all moving parts operate with minimal friction. This results in an exceptionally smooth retrieve and refined mechanical feel, even under the load of a fighting fish.

While the Shimano Exsence is built with premium, durable materials capable of handling demanding conditions, it is a high-performance spinning reel that excels in both environments. Just ensure you rinse it with fresh water after any saltwater use to maintain its longevity.
