Shimano Exsence DC LH

The deadly new Exsence baitcaster draws together Shimano’s cutting edge technology into a package that will have baitcaster connoisseurs drooling over the tackle shop display cabinet. The key feature of this reel is its Digital Cast Control system. Self, energising, it recharges during each cast, ready to control the next one in the event of it becoming a little wayward. Just by looking at it you can tell that this is a premium reel, and internally it has a massive nine SA-RB shielded bearings and one roller bearing. Super Free combines with all of the above technologies to make every cast a sweet one. And be prepared to be blown away at its retrieve speed when it’s time to bring that lure back — 8:1! The Power AL aluminium body protects what is high-precision, high-tech interior from the ravages of salt and fresh water and dust. Its strength keeps the internals in perfect alignment, even when under high load. The Exsence holds 190 metres of 15 kilo Power Pro braid, so it’s perfectly suited to a bit of trolling, and then casting lures for flatties, school jew, barra, cod, yellowbelly — all the fun fish.
