SHIMANO Sephia Limited S89ML

An obsession with "true lightness" that has stepped into the sensibility area.

Shimano's highest peak Eging rod "Sephia LIMITED" aimed at "true lightness" that transcends the limits of the past. With the spiral X core of Blanks as the axis, Shimano's latest technology such as carbon shell grip created with a hollow structure of carbon only and X guide his aero titanium that is compact and lightweight and reduces air resistance is generously introduced. It can be said that it is an Eging rod that has been completed by integrating "lightness" and "strength" by fusing the technology and know-how that Shimano has refined over many years in various fishing species at a high level. Impressive lightness at the moment of holding. The lightness of the air that cuts through the air at the moment of casting and jerk, and the pleasant wind noise that is played. All actual fishing movements in Eging can be performed lightly and accurately. This "true lightness" also realizes high sensitivity that resonates in the hand. It sharpens Eginger's senses and brings the joy of improving even experts. Enjoy the depth of Eging with Sephia LIMITED.

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.

Perfection Seat CI4+ : 

Pursuing a shape that is easy to grip with no steps between the hood and the seat. Even if you shake it strongly to move the egg dropped on the bottom of the deep field, your hands will not hurt easily and it will fit comfortably in the palm of your hand. It also contributes to increasing sensitivity. An uplock is used to fix the reel to prevent loosening during actual fishing.

Soft Tube Top : 

Lightweight and highly sensitive tubular tip with the suppleness of a specially designed solid tip. During feeding = It is easy to feel the leaning of the egg during the fall, and it is possible to grasp the information in the water more clearly. A clean bend without stagnation reduces disparity.
