Shimano Exsence A Spinning Reels

The Shimano Exsence A Spinning Reel is a premium, lightweight fishing reel engineered for peak performance in inshore saltwater and finesse freshwater applications. Part of Shimano’s MagnumLite series, it combines advanced technology with intelligent design to deliver a perfect balance of sensitivity, durability, and power. The MGL Rotor, with its asymmetrical design, lightweight titanium bail, and optimized rotor thickness, reduces startup inertia by up to 22%, enabling precise control over stop-and-go lure retrieval to entice wary game fish and facilitate rapid hook sets.

The magnesium HAGANE Body eliminates flex, ensuring maximum reeling efficiency and power transmission, while the cold-forged HAGANE Gear provides exceptional cranking power and long-lasting durability. Enhanced by MicroModule Gear II and SilentDrive technologies, the Exsence A offers buttery-smooth, quiet operation. Its X-Protect system, featuring a water-repellent coating and labyrinth structure, ensures saltwater-safe performance without compromising lightweight rotation.

The Rapid Fire Drag system allows quick, precise drag adjustments, and the InfinityLoop technology ensures super-slow oscillation for even line lay, reducing friction during casts and drag payout. With a sleek satin black finish, the Exsence A is ideal for targeting sea bass, redfish, trout, and other inshore species, as well as bass finesse fishing, delivering unmatched performance for anglers seeking precision and reliability.
