SHIMANO Sephia XR S86ML

Enjoy all kinds of squid fishing. One of your favorites from the extensive lineup.

The contents of Eging are wide. The target is not limited to Aori squid. Considering from Hiika to Kobushime, the range of sizes is very wide. From shore and offshore. From shallow to deep. The Sefia XR has a wide range of models for enjoying the seasonal Egging all year round. The evolution of its basic performance is also remarkable. A spiral X core that realizes light and strong blanks, a carbon monocoque grip that brings light weight and high sensitivity, and an X guide that reduces line troubles. Please find your favorite one from the lineup that has been generously poured into the technique. 

S86ML : 

Technical all-rounder

A technical model that can be used not only for several fishing at high activity but also for tough scenes with high pressure. 8'6 ”length with excellent balance between long-distance casting and operability. You can attack all over from short-distance site fishing to deep offshore. Smooth operability due to lightness, less blurring after operation , And the tenacious power that you feel when fighting, and the performance required for the Eging rod are condensed. ..

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.

Carbon Monocoque Grip : 

Lightness and high sensitivity created by the hollow structure that changed the standard of sensitivity.

A carbon monocoque grip that has created a new history of high-sensitivity rods with the innovative idea of making the rear grip a hollow structure by integrally molding carbon. We have acquired unprecedented information transmission power, and have achieved unprecedented lightness and sensitivity.

High Power X : 

Reinforced structure that further suppresses twisting that occurs during casting and fighting. The feature is that the carbon tape is tightened in an X shape from the outermost layer of Spiral X or the carbon sheet vertical and horizontal crossing structure. As a result, the bending of the rod keeps the direction intended by the angler, and the original performance of the blanks is fully exhibited.

Soft Tube Top : 

The special design adds the suppleness of a solid to the lightweight and highly sensitive tubular tip. It also features a clean bend without stagnation.

Tough Tech ∞ (Infinity) : 

The newly developed Tough Tech ∞ achieves 3 times the entanglement strength and 5 times the entanglement amount compared to general solids (compared to our company). A high-strength solid tip that surpasses the strong tough tech α.

CI4 + : 

CI4 + is a further evolution of Shimano's original material CI4 reinforced with carbon fiber. The feature is that it is lighter and has higher strength than conventional resins.
