Shore sea bass game with one rod. These environments, such as harbours, rivers, and tidal flats, not only have a wide variety of points and positions, but there are also all kinds of scenes that change from moment to moment depending on the tide, such as currents and water depths, from short distances to long distances.
In order to cope with the conditions that plague such anglers with a single rod, we developed an original zoom rod. When zoomed in to short-length, it is active in close-to-medium range attacks with high-precision casting, and scenes with low scaffolding. In addition, it is excellent in the operability of the lure and is characterized by reducing the burden on the body.
If you zoom up to make it long-length, it will be active in long-distance strategy by improving the flying distance or giving line better clearance from structures etc. It also features line mending for drift operation and ease of tracing shallow range. During a fight, you can achieve a more accurate landing by changing the length in a series of motions, such as zooming in if you value the handling and zooming up if you want to force it from a situation where there is a distance. A versatile all-rounder who not only plays the best of two rods but also has more potential depending on how he uses them, opens up a new stage in the game of sea bass.
CONCEPT MOVIE
The high response power brought about by the zoom rod. Capture various situations with one rod.
The biggest feature of Exsense Zoom is that it can change the length by expanding and contracting one rod. By being able to adjust the length according to the ever-changing situation of the points., we aimed to realize the game development that anglers want to achieve with a single rod. In addition, it is characterized by a thorough balance so as not to sacrifice the lightness, sensitivity, and high operability required for the sea bass rod, and solves the image of being heavy, dull, and unwieldy that tends to be imagined from the special structure of the zoom rod. As rods with the potential of two or more rods in one, a completely new form of the Sea bass Rod has been added to the Exsence series.
What's the secret to being able to zoom in and up with just one rod?
The telescopic structure of the Exsence Zoom consists of a tip ball opening and a rear end zoom rubber provided inside the grip. The blank slides in the grip and the stretch can be fixed. By applying force in the telescopic direction as it is at the end of zooming in and zooming up, it is designed to be firmly fixed without shifting to the actual fishing motion. In addition, the fixation is released by applying a force to the opposite side of the telescopic direction.
Stretching only applies force up and down. Silky zoom for smooth and instant adjustment.
In realizing this mechanism, we were particular about not sacrificing the rod's original performance. It is designed with attention to the lightness of its own weight, sensitivity, operability, and ease of use, which are important elements in sea bass fishing, and although it is a zoom rod, it aims for a usability comparable to that of conventional sea bass rods. Shimano's technology, typified by the Spiral X Core, a basic structure that realizes light and strong blanks, and the Carbon Monocoque Grip, which brings even lighter and more sensitivity, realizes high performance and allows you to enjoy interacting with Seabass with peace of mind.
Long, short, and long change the comfort of use. How to use silky zoom.
Longer throws and pin-spot cheats more comfortable than ever
The biggest advantage of using a zoom rod is that it can handle long throws and pin spot exploits with a single rod. In vast rivers and tidal flats, zoom up with excellent long-range throwing. Among them, when aiming at pinpoints scattered in places or near bridge piers, you can respond instantly according to the situation, such as using zoom-in with increased cast accuracy. Especially for sea bass anglers with a lot of run-and-guns, they will be able to explore points more efficiently than ever before. In addition, the difference in length of 1 foot = about 30 cm greatly changes the feeling of using the rod, and you should be able to experience more comfort than you imagined in its use comfort.
Combine zoom-in and zoom-up to cheat
There are also ways to use it that only a zoom rod can do. One of them is the combination of distance throwing and lure action. For example, in a scene that requires flight distance and action, you can use it to increase the flight distance by zooming up when casting, and to shorten it by zooming in when operating the lure to add more detailed action. Since it is possible to add a long throw of the lure and delicate action with one stick, it is possible to take a different approach even at familiar points.
In addition, changing the length of the bud by zoom expansion and contraction also leads to changing the power of the rod. Zooming up gives you even more bat power. For example, by shortening or lengthening the length of the rod according to the weight of the lure, lures from lightweight lures to heavy lures are also easier to handle.
Avoid structures and capture them smoothly
Another application is to change the length during a fight. Shorter rods when the rear is narrow and difficult to take back, or when attacking pinspots, will improve cast accuracy and lure maneuverability, but the bigger the opponent, the less power there is during the fight. In that case, it is effective to increase the bad power by lengthening the rod. By doing this, the power is transmitted firmly, and it is easy to bring the sea bass closer. In addition, it is easy for fish to catch fish even in positions where structures such as arrowheads are sunk between anglers and sea bass and there is a risk of line breaks, and where scaffolding is high. In addition, for sea bass that come close to the front by wading etc. and become too close in distance, it becomes easier to handle by making it a short rod and enables accurate landing.
IMPRESSION
TETSUYA HENMI
Being able to approach seabass from a new angle called a zoom rod makes me feel that the fun of sea bass games has expanded once again. Especially for sea bass, it is important to be prepared for the right time to improve the fishing results, so being able to do it with one rod is not only attractive as a function, but also a rod that makes you feel something like an adult's taste and leeway. As for the comfort of use, it makes you feel comfortable to use that is not inferior to conventional sea bass rods. Silky zoom, which is the biggest feature, is a convenient function and at the same time a function that has various possibilities depending on the idea of the angler. When you get to the fishing spot, look at the points, choose the lure, define the course to cast, predict the zone where the sea bass will hit, and assume a series of situations until landing, at what timing and what length do you use to capture the point? The fact that it also supports how to use your technique to the fullest is also an interesting element of the zoom rod. I would like many sea bass anglers to experience the fun and comfort of approaching sea bass from a new angle.
FEATURE
The basic structure of the next generation has evolved by adopting high-strength materials.
Shimano's unique design and manufacturing methods thoroughly pursue even higher strength in all directions, such as bending, screwing, and crushing. Shimano's original basic structure, Spiral X, which enhances rod performance from the core, uses carbon tape using high-strength resin realized by nanoalloy ® technology. We have realized further high strength with selected materials. Compared with the general structure, the screw strength is 1.4 times and the collapse strength is 2.5 times higher (compared to our company). Furthermore, in comparison with Spiral X, we achieved a 10% increase in screw strength and a 15% increase in crushed strength (compared to our company).

Shimano's original guide [X Guide] that brings out the original rod performance.
Born from the rod maker's point of view, the X-Guide was born to fully exploit the potential of the blanks. Shimano's original high-performance guide that fuses lightness, troublelessness, and casting performance to a high level.
Lightness and high sensitivity created by a hollow structure with different sensitivity standards.
With the innovative idea of hollow structuring the rear grip with carbon integral molding, a carbon monocoque grip has created a new history of high-sensitivity rods. We have acquired unprecedented information transmission power, and we have acquired unprecedented lightness and sensitivity.
Reinforced structure that further suppresses the screws that occur during casting and fighting. It features carbon tape tightening up in an X-shape from the outermost layer of Spiral X or the carbon sheet longitudinal and horizontal crossing structure. This ensures that the bend of the rod preserves the angler's intended orientation and that the original performance of the blanks is fully realized.
A method of wrapping molding tape used in the process of baking blanks at an extremely fine pitch. Since the blanks are tightened at a more uniform pressure, they greatly contribute to higher strength. Its delicate pitch draws a high-quality exterior design.
CI4 is a further evolution of Shimano's original material CI4 reinforced with carbon fiber. Compared to conventional resins, it is lighter and has higher strength.
Unique zoom mechanism that allows the rod length to be expanded and contracted instantaneously. It is designed by applying the structure of the ball handle, and it is firmly fixed. By using different lengths, the range of applications that can be made with a single rod is greatly expanded. From high-pressure and severe game development, it is also active when searching a wide area with Run & Gun.
A reel seat that sought an ideal fit. Front grip, reel seats, and hood steps are thoroughly eliminated down to the smallest detail. We have realized a high-dimensional fit that sucks on the hand. Shimano's lightweight carbon-reinforced material [CI4 ] is used as the material. In a sea bass game with a large number of casts, fatigue is reduced and high operability is realized.
Carbon monocoque grip hollow structured with carbon integral molding. The grip is made even easier to grip by incorporating an edgy design.
Shimano's unique three-dimensional structure adopts the X Guide, which boasts high troubleless performance. The design makes it difficult for threads to get tangled and reduces the stress caused by the PE line even in strong winds and headwind situations.
We adopted a frame made of titanium material that is resistant to rust at key points. In addition, it uses a SiC ring that is lightweight and excellent in heat dissipation, and it is designed with attention to weight reduction while taking care of damage to the PE line.
Set a hold position marker so that it is easy to expand and contract the rod. Non-slip material is used, so you can apply force firmly until the end.
Marked when zooming in. By aligning the arrow parts, stretching can be performed smoothly.
