SHIMANO 17 Exsence DC XG LH

4x8DC EXSENCE TUNE
Adjust 4 modes in 8 steps!
The "4x8DC EXSENCE TUNE" is a cutting-edge brake system for trouble-free long-distance casting of sea bass lures with PE line.
The brake force can be adjusted in 8 steps for 4 modes: PE tailwind casting mode (XP mode), PE mode (P mode), nylon mode (N mode), and fluorocarbon mode (F mode). The DC continues to evolve, and its capabilities are intimidating.

Line selection dial (internal)
XP mode → PE line tailwind long-distance casting mode
P mode → PE line mode
N mode → Nylon line mode
F mode → Fluorocarbon line mode
DC (digital control) is a system that electronically controls backlash, which occurs when the spool spins freely and the line accumulates inside the spool even though the line is stalling. "The 4x8DC Exsense Tune is set for sea bass. With 4 internal modes based on line material, etc., and an 8-level external dial brake, more advanced brake adjustment is possible."

Brake mode selection dial (external)
Select from 8 levels according to the lure weight.
P7-P8 - Recommended for beginners, strong wind/headwind mode
P5-P6 - All-purpose mode that is good with any lure
P4 and below - Recommended mode for heavy lures that fly well
XP All - Pro mode for tailwind only

Micro module gear
New drive system in which small precision gears mesh tightly.
The teeth are refined to the limit, achieving silky meshing and power transmission. Noiseless winding captures even the most delicate bites. The gear continues to demonstrate its potential while being protected by the HAGANE body.

HAGANE body
A metal body with high rigidity. It has the rigidity and impact resistance to withstand unexpected impacts, and by minimizing deflection, it converts the angler's power into the "power" to reel in the line.

X-SHIP
The heart of the rotation performance is equipped with X-SHIP, the crystallization of Shimano gear technology. It transmits the power input by the angler without loss, allowing for smooth and efficient reeling.

Narrow spool
By narrowing the spool, the angle between the level wind and the line is made gentler, and we have succeeded in reducing the line's release resistance. This allows for more flexible casting. In addition, by narrowing the spool, it is less likely for the line to get caught in the gap between the body frame.

Super free spool
When the clutch is released, the spool is supported by two bearings that suppress rattling and are smooth. This system makes pool-free performance as light as possible.

S3D Spool
By completely reviewing the cutting method, the spool precision has been improved significantly. As a result, the static compatibility during casting has been improved.

Silent Tune
By applying light pressure to the bearings that hold the spool, vibration during high-speed rotation is reduced. The static compatibility during casting and the start-up of the spool rotation have been further improved.
