Known to some as the 'Batman' spinning reel from Shimano due to its blacked-out coloration, the Shimano Exsence Spinning Reelscomes back in 2021 a full ounce lighter than its predecessor.

This reel takes Shimano's technology to the fullest, striking a balance between intelligent design and durability that anglers demand every time they hit the water. An MGL rotor was added to the 2021 model, giving the angler a feather-lite to almost non-existent feel to every rotation of the handle. Connection to the lure for quick start-and-stop retrieval of soft plastics, jigs, jerkbaits, and other plugs is given, providing more responsive feedback to the angler.

It's extremely light and durable magnesium Hagane body eliminates flex and provides the outer layer that is needed to sustain efficiency and power transmission throughout the lifetime of the reel. Hagane gearing sits at the heart of this reel, providing supreme durability for long-lasting performance.

Features:

• MGL Rotor
• MicroModule Gear II
• Magnesium Hagane Body
• X-Protect
• Rapid Fire Drag

Silent Drive:Implemented to eliminate any looseness, gaps, and vibrations between components in the drive section as well as others. This provides for tighter tolerances, less play, more comfort, and a quieter if not silent reel.
