SHIMANO Exitegame XR 64MH200

Enjoy to the Limit with Extreme Bending.
Lightweight, High-Strength Full-Solid Game Rod.
Introducing a new dimension in game rods: the Excite Game series. This series transcends the boundaries of light and mid-game fishing, designed for ultimate enjoyment in boat fishing.

To compensate for the typical loss of hand sensitivity in flexible rods, it features a carbon monocoque grip. Additionally, the blanks are reinforced with carbon tape in an X pattern using high-sensitivity carbon solid, Tough Tech∞, and constructed with a High Power X Full Solid structure to suppress flex and power loss.

Furthermore, the reel seat incorporates the X Sheet Technical Gang Grip, which features a trigger at the front. This design enhances the palming performance, resulting in improved lightweight and delicate lure manipulation as well as stability during fights.

Experience the lightweight, strong, and user-friendly Excite Game XR, and push it to its limits while trying out various fish species.
*The HH model utilizes the X Sheet Extreme Gang Grip.

Exitegame XR 64MH200:

A staple item among game rods, it excels in delicate fishing, such as light horse mackerel and sea bream. It also combines the lightness of its 2.0m length with the cushioning provided by the 6:4 mooching action.

KEY FEATURE:
“Bending” That Stimulates the Instincts of Anglers

The tip pierces the surface of the sea like a living creature with intent, bending and flexing like supple muscle, striving to rise again. The curve and movement of the rod, which approaches the shape of a circle—often deemed the most beautiful geometric figure—intensely stimulate the instincts of anglers.

This rod, the Excite Game XR, pursues the enjoyment of “bending” while engaging in a tug-of-war with the marine life connected by a single line, stimulating the angler's instincts.

The blanks are slim yet supple, featuring Shimano's carbon full solid, which is strong against twisting. The core of Tough Tech∞ Solid is wrapped in a carbon sheet, finishing it thin and lightweight, with the outer layer enhanced by High Power X, creating a High Power X Full Solid structure. It achieves a lightweight feel while remaining fully solid.

Despite being a flexible full solid, it recovers firmly without discomfort when bent. Thus, the way the slim blanks bend compared to tubular rods is truly “exciting.” Additionally, it has high destructive strength, allowing for forceful power fights. It also features the inherent flexibility of full solid, contributing to high stability in setups.

What Is a Grip Designed for Bending and Enjoying More?

Introducing the X-Sheet Technical Gun Grip, which dramatically enhances “operability” while inheriting the traditional strengths of the Extreme Gun Grip—“fatigue reduction” and “stability.” By incorporating a trigger section at the front, it creates a new fulcrum point when you place your index or middle finger on the front trigger. As a result, this increases wrist freedom while holding the rod, enhancing the ability to move the rod up and down with extended arms, thereby improving operability during palming.

In actual fishing, the material weight of the tackle, along with rod manipulation, tidal flow, and the pull of the fish, generates significant kinetic energy. Ultimately, no matter how light you make the rod, concentrating that load at a single point is not comfortable. The ergonomically designed practical shape allows for effortless handling with both the right and left hands, accommodating both large and small hands, and is compatible with a variety of reels. This grip enables a firm hold without fatigue. The Technical Gun Grip, balancing comfort and operability, supports exciting fishing experiences.

And for the high-load HH model, we adopted the X-Sheet Extreme Gun Grip, prioritizing stability. Power loss is minimized, ensuring that you won't lose strength during hooking and fighting.

Invisible Plus α Sensitivity

Is the Excite Game XR, which allows you to enjoy bending the rod, merely a luxury item for those who seek preference? The answer is no.

To enjoy bending the rod, you must first hook a fish. Having the functionality to catch fish is an essential requirement in actual fishing. The rear grip of the Excite Game XR features a carbon monocoque grip with a hollow structure formed from a single piece of carbon, making it lightweight and highly sensitive. In the testers' actual fishing impressions, many felt that "the bites were amplified," clearly transmitting underwater information to the angler through hand sensitivity.

This rod has been designed without compromise on the performance of "hooking" before you enjoy the bending.

A Rod You Can Use Seriousl

Where do we find the balance between lightweight, high sensitivity, and utility? The Excite Game XR does not compromise on this surprisingly difficult aspect of rod design. For the guides, the tip section guide diameters of the M, MH, and H models are larger than those of the Excite Game CI4+, improving the flow of the line and leader knot, thereby reducing trouble and stress. The HH model, designed to handle greater loads, adopts double-foot guides for all components. Furthermore, the HH model includes a front grip, anticipating fights with larger fish, achieving light operability, ease of use, and maneuverability during standing fights. It is a rod that allows you to bend without hesitation and fish seriously.

“Instant & Precision” Concept:

The combination of the X-Sheet Technical Gun Grip and Touch Drive creates a new dimension of operability, which is the “Instant & Precision” concept. The X-Sheet Technical Gun Grip adds operability to stability, allowing for free and precise control of your rig. Additionally, the freedom of movement for your thumb during palming enables you to quickly and reliably operate the Touch Drive of the Force Master 600.

With the Force Master 600's Touch Drive, you can instantly wind up at your desired speed, allowing for immediate control. Furthermore, the Touch Drive Speed Lock allows you to set a mid-speed, enabling you to wind up at your target speed during a fight by pressing or releasing your finger, thus achieving precise operation. Whether it’s during a bite, hooking, or fighting, you can manipulate the rod and reel as you wish. Experience this new dimension of operability for yourself.

FEATURE:

X-Sheet Technical Gun Grip

The innovative grip, "Extreme Gun Grip," which reduces fatigue by allowing your wrist and palm to be in a nearly straight position while gripping with four fingers, has evolved further. While maintaining fatigue reduction and high stability, it improves operability by adding a trigger section at the front. It fits a wide range of reel sizes and is designed for universal use, allowing both right and left-handed anglers to experience its benefits. (Excluding HH items)

X-Sheet Extreme Gun Grip (HH Model Only)

The left and right dedicated design of the grip offers a larger contact surface between the palm and grip, allowing for a full palm hold. This reduces shaking during reeling by 30%* and decreases load during palming by up to 45%*. Power loss is minimized, ensuring that you won’t be overpowered during hooking or fighting. The difference becomes even more pronounced during long hours of fishing. Once you experience the X-Sheet Extreme Gun Grip, you won’t be able to go back to the previous grips. (Compared to previous models)

Carbon Monocoque Grip

The rear grip is made with a carbon monocoque structure, featuring a hollow design that enhances lightness, transmission, and sensitivity. Testers often feel that bites are amplified, clearly transmitting underwater information to the angler. The Excite Game XR also amplifies information and sensations in various processes, expanding the enjoyment.

High Power X Full Solid

Despite its strikingly slender design, the High Power X Full Solid bends significantly during fights with fish. Using tough-tech∞ carbon solid material wrapped in carbon sheets and further reinforced with carbon tape in an X-pattern, this unique Shimano blank structure controls twisting, shaking, and power loss, retaining the resilient and highly bending characteristics of full solid while providing comfortable operability and an exciting fighting experience.

EVA Front Grip (HH Items Only)

The front grip of HH items, designed for high-load weights, features a long EVA grip that is easy to hold.
