The Shimano SEPHIA XTUNE MB series is a high-performance line of rods specifically designed for eging enthusiasts who seek both portability and uncompromised functionality. Despite its compact design, with a folded length in the 50 cm range, this series integrates Shimano's advanced technologies to enhance the eging experience.
Key Features:
SPIRAL X CORE Construction: The SEPHIA XTUNE MB utilizes Shimano's SPIRAL X CORE technology, which involves wrapping carbon tape in a spiral pattern around the rod blank. This construction method significantly enhances torsional rigidity and strength without adding unnecessary weight, resulting in a lightweight yet robust rod that offers precise control during casting and retrieval.
Carbon Monocoque Grip: Incorporated into the design is a carbon monocoque grip—a hollow, one-piece structure that reduces weight and increases sensitivity. This innovative grip allows anglers to detect even the faintest vibrations transmitted through the rod, providing a tactical advantage when targeting cautious squids.
X Guide System: Equipped with Shimano's proprietary X Guide system, the rod minimizes line tangling and reduces overall weight. This guide system ensures smooth line flow during casting and retrieval, enhancing casting distance and accuracy.
HI-POWER X Technology: To further reduce rod twist and shake during casting and fighting, the SEPHIA XTUNE MB employs HI-POWER X technology. By wrapping X-shaped carbon tape on the outermost layer of the rod, this design aligns the rod's bending direction with the angler's intent, maximizing performance.
Softube op: The S83ML and S86ML models feature a Softube Top—a specially designed lightweight, high-sensitivity hollow tip that adds flexibility. This design allows for a smooth bend under load, enhancing sensitivity and control.
Advanced Technologies:
Shimano has integrated several advanced technologies into the SEPHIA XTUNE MB series to enhance performance:
SPIRAL X CORE: This construction method involves wrapping carbon tape in a spiral pattern around the rod blank, significantly improving torsional rigidity and strength without adding extra weight. The result is a rod that offers precise control and responsiveness during casting and retrieval.
X Guide System: Developed from the perspective of rod manufacturers, the X Guide system is designed to maximize the rod's potential by providing high-level casting performance and reducing line tangling. This system ensures smooth line flow, enhancing both casting distance and accuracy.
Carbon Monocoque Grip: The hollow, one-piece carbon grip reduces weight and increases sensitivity, allowing anglers to detect even the slightest vibrations transmitted through the rod. This feature provides a significant advantage when targeting sensitive or cautious squids.
HI-POWER X: By wrapping X-shaped carbon tape on the outermost layer of the rod, this technology reduces rod twist and shake during casting and fighting, aligning the rod's bending direction with the angler's intent and maximizing performance.
Softube Top: A specially designed lightweight, high-sensitivity hollow tip that adds flexibility, allowing for a smooth bend under load. This design enhances sensitivity and control, particularly beneficial in detecting subtle bites.
