SHIMANO 18 Exsence Genos S108M+/R

The finest sensations, sensibilities, and impressions in seabass games.

The finest sensations, sensibilities, and impressions in sea bass games. Exsence has pursued these "ultimate feelings". The strongest item, S108MH + / R, has been added to the core "Grand Stinger" series of Exsense Genos. The blanks that the butt bends tenaciously from the belly according to the load support a stable power fight that can comfortably handle large sizes. While having the power to cast and operate 30-60g class top plugs and big minnows, the highly sensitive tip section has the depth of the bosom to easily operate 10g minnows. According to each concept, another unique rod has been added to the Exsence Genos, which has been refined over the years.

S108M + / R : 

Grand Stinger 108

The core of Exsense Genos, "Grand Stinger". While inheriting the concept, further improve power and long-distance castability. Assuming capture of rocky shores, surf, large rivers, areas with high scaffolding, etc. Pursuing the best balance of tenacity and sharpness in order to improve the ability to respond to rough environments. Not only stable long-distance casting, but also suitable for all cast motions such as high-precision approach by under and side cast in the situation where the rocky shore wall approaches the back. And even in strong winds, waves and currents, it accurately senses lure movements and bites. The tenacious butt bends with wrinkles according to the load, accurately grasping the movement and direction of the seabass hung, and realizes stability that allows anglers to fight in an advantageous state.

Spiral X Core : 

Next-generation basic structure that has evolved through the adoption of high-strength materials.

Shimano's original design and manufacturing method thoroughly pursues even higher strength in all directions such as bending, twisting, and crushing. Shimano's original basic structure Spiral X, which enhances rod performance from the ground up, uses carbon tape using high-strength resin realized by Nano Alloy® technology. Achieves even higher strength with selected materials. Achieves twist strength 1.4 times and crush strength 2.5 times compared to general structures (compared to our company). Furthermore, compared to Spiral X, we have achieved a 10% increase in twist strength and a 15% increase in crush strength (compared to our company).

X Guide : 

Shimano original guide [X guide] that brings out the original rod performance.

Born from the perspective of a rod maker, the X Guide was created to fully unlock the potential of blanks. Shimano original high-performance guide that combines lightness, trouble-freeness, and cast performance to a high level.

High elasticity and high strength material "Trading Card ® M40X" :

The carbon fiber Trading Card® "MX Series", which is a high-strength and highly elastic carbon material, is used in the right place for the spiral X core. The MX series is a new material that achieves both high strength and high elastic modulus by controlling the crystal structure of nano-level carbon fiber with high precision and making it an "ultra-highly oriented microcrystal" structure to reduce defects. The potential of Shimano Original Blanks has been further improved.

Power Palm Fit CI4 + : 

Uses rubber material. The part where the base of each of the thumb, index finger, and middle finger touches is made thicker so that it can be firmly grasped. Reduces power loss and supports interaction with large fish.
