Shimano Exsence Spinning Reel
Shimano Exsence Spinning Reels are crafted for light tackle inshore and freshwater anglers who demand performance, strength, and finesse in one ultra-light package. Featuring Shimano’s top-tier technology, the Exsence reel is built around a rigid yet lightweight magnesium Hagane Body and precision MicroModule Gearing, delivering exceptional strength and buttery-smooth retrieves. The MGL Rotor reduces rotational inertia, while X-Protect sealing offers lasting resistance against saltwater intrusion—making this reel ideal for both finesse bass fishing and coastal species like redfish or sea trout.
The reel’s G-Free Body redistributes the center of gravity closer to the rod hand position, increasing comfort and control. Internally, S A-RB bearings, Hagane Gear, and X-Ship further contribute to a flawless cranking experience, whether working topwaters or slowly retrieving soft plastics. Backed by a solid waterproof drag system (9 kg or 11 kg depending on model), the Exsence series is built for serious anglers who want pro-grade gear in a compact form.
