SHIMANO 23 Sephia SS S80M

From Hii-ika to Cuttlefish — Refined Core Performance for Eging

Eging is easy to start, yet offers impressive depth. The targets are not limited to Aori squid; anglers can also pursue Hii-ika, Tsutsu-ika species, and even Kobushime (cuttlefish). From shore to offshore, shallow flats to deep water, this lineup covers a wide range of seasonal eging scenarios.

The blanks feature Spiral X construction for high torsional rigidity and crush resistance, combined with High Power X to further suppress twisting. These technologies directly enhance the essence of an eging rod—jerk performance—improving power transmission and control.

The lineup includes standard models as well as short, long, and solid-tip variations, providing options for diverse styles. With carefully designed grips and aesthetics, these rods deliver a more comfortable and enjoyable eging experience.

FEATURES

Stainless Frame SiC Guide Rings

Durable stainless frames with SiC rings ensure smooth line flow and long-term reliability.

Reverse-Joint Center-Cut 2-Piece Construction

Designed for a beautiful, natural bend while reducing stress at the joint section.
