The Exsence Genos, honed specifically for targeting Blackfin seabass in rocky shore environments, has undergone a long-awaited full model change. The lineup now includes a new 3-piece model, highly anticipated by anglers who travel for expeditions.
The blanks have been refined to be sharper and possess higher elasticity than ever before, gaining a distinct advantage in casting, hook-setting, and lure control.
Compared to the previous generation, the blanks have been made slimmer while retaining their power, facilitating a nimble, effortless swing even in harsh conditions with strong headwinds.
The rods feature Shimano’s original full X-Guide configuration. This enhances the sense of lightness—both when holding and swinging the rod—and supports high-precision control in any situation.
Trouble-free performance has also been improved, ensuring anglers can capitalize on fleeting opportunities without interruption.
All models feature a highly durable EVA rear grip designed to withstand the rigors of rocky shore fishing.
The "Wild Contact 112MH+" is the long-awaited 3-piece model dedicated to core anglers who frequent rugged fishing grounds.
Its distinctive blanks—stiff yet capable of flexing—are suited not only for harsh rocky shores but also for power games against big fish in diverse environments like surf zones and large rivers.
The blanks are designed not merely for a compact packed length suitable for travel; the 3-piece construction allows for specific material utilization and design choices that wouldn't be possible otherwise.
It pursues an ideal balance: the high-elasticity first section allows for precise lure manipulation, the second section provides tenacity, and the third section offers the lifting power needed to bring fish to the surface. This enables stable, controlled fights against not only Blackfin seabass but also massive seabass and even yellowtail.
Equipped with full X-Guides, the rod also excels in trouble-free casting performance.
It combines the power and crisp casting action needed to launch 60g-class lures over long distances with the versatility to sense and control 10g-class minnows amidst raging whitewater.
