Product Description
SMASH THE SHORELINE WITH CONFIDENCE
The Shimano Exsence Surf Rod is crafted for surf anglers seeking long-distance casting and control. This rod's lightweight yet durable construction provides excellent sensitivity and power, making it perfect for targeting various saltwater species. Its advanced design ensures optimal performance even in harsh surf conditions.
The 24 Exvance is designed with optimal blank loading, recovery, and guide placement, all essential for achieving long-cast performance. This rod was crafted to help anglers reach the extra-long distances often needed to target fish at many popular surfcasting spots in New Zealand. The key to this design is a careful balance of speed and power, resulting in a custom-built 30T carbon blank that offers fast, accurate recovery while remaining easy to load and user-friendly. Complementing this, the guide train features high-quality Fuji low-rider Alconite guides, ensuring smooth line release and maximising casting efficiency.
The rod includes a custom spacer for mounting a cast trigger just above the Fuji graphite reel seat to enhance casting performance. At the same time, the rear grip provides an ergonomic handle for maximum leverage during casts. The butt section is equipped with EVA grips and an X-wrapped shrink tube for comfortable handling, and the tip section features reflective tape under the guide bindings, along with a hi-visibility orange glow paint to ensure you don’t miss a bite in any lighting conditions. Available in 13’6” and 14’6” lengths, both 3-piece models can cast up to 6oz.
