SHIMANO Exsence A Reel

EXSENCE, Shimano performance for technical fishing

The Shimano EXSENCE is a spinning reel developed for anglers seeking equipment that is both light, powerful and extremely smooth. Designed with premium materials and the brand's most advanced technologies, it delivers an exceptional level of performance for active fishing.

Designed for demanding conditions at sea as well as in freshwater, this reel combines robustness, sensitivity and precision to accompany anglers during the most challenging sessions.

A lightweight and ultra-resistant construction

The reel is built on a magnesium Hagane body that provides great rigidity while keeping weight extremely low. This design preserves the strength of the mechanics while offering remarkable comfort during long fishing sessions.

The presence of a one-piece titanium body enhances the reel's durability and improves its corrosion resistance — an important asset for fishing in saltwater environments.

Exceptionally smooth mechanics

The Shimano EXSENCE integrates several cutting-edge technologies designed to improve smoothness and precision of operation.

The combination of the Hagane Gear with the Micro Module Gear II provides an extremely smooth and consistent retrieve. The Silent Drive technology further optimises the reel's internal adjustments to reduce vibrations and mechanical play.

The MGL rotor helps lighten the overall assembly and improves reel balance, delivering a particularly light and precise rotation feel.

Protection and reliability in demanding conditions

The X-Protect system shields the internal mechanics against water ingress and impurities. This technology helps maintain reel performance even with regular use in a marine environment.

The shielded A-RB ball bearings also reinforce corrosion resistance while ensuring durably smooth rotation.

A powerful and precise drag

Despite a very low weight, the reel features a powerful waterproof drag capable of handling sustained fights. This configuration allows excellent control during fish runs while ensuring great progressiveness.

This precision is particularly appreciated when using light lines or braids, often preferred for technical fishing.

A reel designed for sea bass and finesse fishing

The Shimano EXSENCE is particularly well suited to sea bass fishing and other active coastal species such as bluefish. It can also be used in freshwater to target predators with light lines.

Its lightness, smoothness and balance make it an ideal reel for lure fishing requiring precision and sensitivity.
