SHIMANO’s SEPHIA LIMITED TIP EGING is a flagship rod engineered to an exceptional level of lightness, strength, operability, and sensitivity required for tip eging. Its blank combines high-modulus M46X carbon with Spiral X Core and Hi-Power X, delivering both quick, responsive jerking performance and the supple flex needed to draw in broad squid. The hollow carbon shell grip and multifaceted Hi-Res Type carbon monocoque grip enhance holding comfort and the transmission of vibrations from underwater.
The guides feature a Full X Guide configuration using 3D Titanium Top, 3D Titanium, and Aero Titanium, designed to reduce weight, promote smooth line release, and minimize line tangles. The tip is equipped with a detachable TAFTEC∞ section that combines flexibility and strength, allowing anglers to visually detect minute changes such as the tip loading or recovering, while reading the egi’s posture and changes in the current during pauses after a jerk. The S610L-S, with its longer length and light power, is well suited to absorbing wave action and the up-and-down movement of the boat. The S68ML-S is a well-balanced model with a regular taper, while the S63ML+-S supports delicate lure control and assertive hook-setting with its fast action and ML+ power. The S511M-S takes advantage of its short length and fast action, making it ideal for directly manipulating the egi in calm conditions and for vertical fishing.
