SHIMANO 22 Sephia BB C3000SDH

A high-cost performance reel designed specifically for egging.
Standard specifications perfect for egging, such as shallow spool, rapid fire drag, EVA handle knob, and double handle model. Equipped with a full range of functions such as Micro Module Gear II, Silent Drive, X-Protect, and long stroke spool, basic performance such as feeling, waterproof performance, and casting distance have been greatly improved. In addition, the CI4+ body has been adopted, making it significantly lighter than the previous model. The definitive high-cost performance reel that boasts actual fishing performance worthy of the Sephia name.

Equipped with advanced features that exceed those of its class
The Sephia BB, a dedicated reel loved by many egging anglers, has evolved and been renewed. The lightweight carbon material CI4+ is now used for the main part of the body material. The double handle model is 15g lighter, and the single handle model is 10g lighter. In addition, it is generously equipped with advanced features that go beyond its class, such as Micro Module Gear II, Silent Drive, X-Protect, and long stroke spool. This is the birth of a dedicated egging reel with high basic performance.

Just the right amount of line for egging. Shallow spool
All Sefia BB spools are shallow type. They can hold 150m of Sefia 8+ 0.8, a PE line designed specifically for egging. They are just the right size to allow you to use the line you use most often without waste.

There's no need to panic if you suddenly catch a large fish
The jet propulsion of a large bigfin reef squid is intense. With the Sephia BB equipped with the Rapid Fire Drag, you can adjust the drag force quickly without panicking when you catch a big fish, and you can land it more reliably.

A double handle is used because there are many opportunities to take your hands off the handle
What makes Egi fishing different from other lure games is that you often take your hands off the reel handle to operate the rod. When you finish operating the rod and want to operate the handle again, a double handle that allows you to grasp the knob intuitively without looking is one of the features that is highly desired by anglers. Of course, it is also available as an option for the new Sephia BB. The knob is made of EVA material that is easy to grip.

Recommended combinations for each club

Recommended set example 1: Technical all-round setting
Rod: Sephia BB S86ML
Reel: Sephia BB C3000S
Line: Sephia 8 + 0.6
Egi: Sephia Clinch 3.5 Flash Boost
This is a basic combination that can be used all year round, regardless of location. It can be used for a wide range of activities, from large bigfin reef squid in spring to egging in autumn.

Recommended set example 2: Deep fishing setting for large oval squid
Rod: Sephia BB S86M
Reel: Sephia BB C3000SDH
Line: Sephia 8 + 0.8
Egi: Sephia Clinch Flash Boost Deep 3.5
This is the best combination for targeting large oval squids, mainly on the bottom. The S86M has the rod power to cast deep model squids firmly, and is paired with a normal gear (gear ratio 5.3) double handle model. If you need distance, the S89M is also an option to consider.

Recommended set example 3: Autumn Egi setting
Rod: Sephia BB S83ML
Reel: Sephia BB C3000SHG
Line: Sephia 8 + 0.5
Egi: Sephia Clinch Flash Boost Rattle No. 3
This is the best combination for fishing for highly active squids from the surface to the middle layers at a good tempo. The easy-to-handle S83ML is paired with the high-gear Sephia BBC3000SHG. It can handle not only small to medium-sized squids, but also large squids.

Recommended set example 4: Long-distance monster extreme setting
Rod: Sephia BB 89MH
Reel: Sephia BB C3000SDHHG
Line: Sephia 8 + 0.8
Egi: Sephia Clinch Ex-Counter No. 3.8
This setting is suitable for offshore egging, such as for red monsters. If you want even greater casting distance, it is effective to go down one size of the Sephia 8+. Select a high gear for efficiency when retrieving the egg. If you want to take your time to face off against a monster bigfin reef squid, you may want to choose a no-gear model. Also, if you want to use the egg jig to ride the current, we recommend choosing the Sephia Clinch 3.5 Flash Boost.
