Shimano Sephia Ex Tune

SHIMANO’s SEPHIA XTUNE is an eging rod that inherits the design philosophy of the SEPHIA LIMITED, pursuing outstanding castability and precise jerk control in real-world fishing situations. Combining the lightweight, powerful Spiral X Core with high-modulus, high-strength Torayca® M40X carbon, it delivers exceptional recovery power from its slender blank in response to angler input during jerking. This makes it easy to impart sharp initial speed to the egi, while supporting crisp casting and fast-paced jerking.

The front grip features a cork-style shape with flattened sides, providing ample contact with the palm and helping prevent the grip from rotating during aggressive jerks for more efficient transmission of input. The rear grip employs a hollow carbon monocoque grip designed to reduce weight and enhance vibration transmission. In addition, the Full X Guide system, combining 3D Titanium Top, 3D Titanium, and Aero Titanium guides, supports casting and lure control while helping reduce line tangles. Other features include a stable blank with minimal wobble, achieved through Spiral X Core and Hi-Power X construction, and smooth load transfer through the spigot joint. The S86ML is a versatile model with a standard length and power setting that is easy to handle for year-round eging and suitable for a wide range of conditions.
