Shimano EXSENCE INFINITY Series Rod
The EXSENCE INFINITY series by Shimano is the pinnacle of their seabass rods, crafted to provide unparalleled casting feel and sensitivity. Designed for serious anglers, this series aims to surpass previous limits with its lightweight and strong construction, enabling accurate and continuous casting. The rod’s ability to sense underwater information allows anglers to seize the fleeting chance to catch trophy seabass.
Key Features
1. Carbon Monocoque Grip and Carbon Shell Grip These grips are engineered for high sensitivity, ensuring that every vibration is transmitted to the angler's hand. The hollow, thin-walled structure of the grips contributes to the rod’s lightweight and responsive nature.
2. X Guide The X Guide offers excellent lightweight and trouble-free performance, with reduced air resistance to enhance casting distance. The meticulous balance in the blanks allows energy to be smoothly and efficiently transmitted, ensuring high accuracy and stress-free fishing.
3. Blank Performance The rod’s blanks are designed to bend smoothly, enhancing casting accuracy and making it easier to detect changes underwater. The blank's power is fully realized when casting or fighting, providing stable and powerful performance without excessive rebound that can cause fatigue or hook-offs.
4. Spiral X Core This technology ensures both lightweight and high strength by utilizing a thin-walled yet strong structure. It enables the rod to withstand repeated casting and fights with large seabass without compromising sensitivity or durability.
Sensitivity and Casting Performance
-
Enhanced Sensitivity The high-sensitivity carbon shell grip allows anglers to feel even the smallest underwater changes, helping them to make precise adjustments and strategies.
-
High Casting Accuracy The rod’s full-body functionality ensures smooth bending from the grip to the tip, aiding in accurate and consistent casting. The energy stored in the blanks is released automatically, requiring minimal force for long-distance casts.
Full X Guide All guides are Shimano originals, optimized for light weight and trouble-free performance. The X Guide Aero Titanium at the butt section and X Guide 3D Titanium at the top and tip sections reduce line damage and air resistance, enhancing casting distance and accuracy.
Conclusion
The Shimano EXSENCE INFINITY series is a culmination of Shimano’s advanced technologies, providing anglers with a rod that is light, strong, and highly sensitive. With its meticulous design and innovative features, the EXSENCE INFINITY series offers unparalleled performance for serious seabass anglers. Whether casting long distances or detecting subtle underwater changes, this series ensures a superior fishing experience.
