Shimano Exsence Reel

Shimano Exsence Reel

High performance spinning reel for finesse techniques in fresh and saltwater.

The Shimano Exsence is a high-end spinning Reel designed for anglers looking for maximum precision, smoothness and durability. Thanks to its asymmetrical Magnumlite (MGL) rotor design, it offers perfect balance, reduces weight and increases lure control by reducing initial inertia by 22%.

Designed specifically for finesse fishing, it incorporates exclusive Shimano technologies that improve power, smoothness, durability and line control, making it an ultra-responsive and reliable Reel in both freshwater and saltwater environments.

Featured Shimano Exsence Technologies

• InfinityXross? Transmits gear load over a wider surface area, avoiding stress points and significantly increasing gear durability.

• InfinityLoop? Ultra-slow oscillation that guarantees perfect line lay, reducing friction and increasing distance and smoothness in casts.

• Infinity Drive? A system that improves winding power, reducing torque and friction on the main shaft for greater smoothness under load.

• DuraCross Drag? Brake washers with up to 10 times more durability while maintaining extremely smooth operation.

• Anti-twist Fins? Flexible part that prevents line deformation and the formation of wind knots, guaranteeing a uniform lay.

• Hagane body? Highly rigid metal structure that eliminates bending and provides great strength under pressure.

• Hagane gear? Cold forged gearing, more resistant to wear and with long-lasting smoothness.

• MicroModule II? Smaller, more precise gear design with smaller teeth for smoother retrieval.

• MGL (Magnumlite) Rotor? Ultra-lightweight rotor that reduces initial inertia by 22%, facilitating total control of the lure.

• Rapid Fire Drag? Brake that allows quick and precise adjustments with a single movement, ideal for moving from thin lines to large catches.

• X-Ship? Double bearing support on the sprocket for more efficient power transmission.

• X-Protect? Sealing system that prevents water and dirt from entering key areas without compromising light weight.

• SilentDrive? Minimizes internal vibration and backlash for ultra-quiet operation.

• CI4+? Ultra-light and stiff reinforced carbon composite material.

• Long Stroke Spool Reel? Improves line output and increases casting distance.

• Propulsion line management system? Special spool bezel reduces friction and tangles when casting.

• Rigid Support Drag Brake? Increases brake stability under pressure, preventing jerks.

• One-Piece Bail? Guides the line smoothly without risk of tangling.

• G-Free Body? Center of gravity shifted upward, which improves balance and reduces fatigue on long days.

• Aero Wrap II? Oscillating system that improves line placement on the spool, optimizing longer, more controlled casts.
