Shimano's Exsence B represents the pinnacle of the Magnumlite series, combining lightness, precision and power in a reel designed for high-level inshore spinning! Built with a magnesium HAGANE body, it guarantees exceptional strength and handling, while the matte black finish enhances its technical elegance. Thanks to innovations such as INFINITYLOOP, INFINITYXROSS and INFINITY DRIVE, it delivers longer casts, incredibly smooth retrieves and superior power transmission. The Duracross Drag system ensures consistent control even during the toughest fights, while the ANTI TWIST FIN keeps the line perfectly aligned for flawless line management. Equipped with HAGANE Gear, X-SHIP, Micro Module II and Silent Drive, the Exsence B offers unprecedented smoothness and instantaneous response. Available in sizes 2500, 3000 and 4000, it’s the perfect choice for anglers seeking a lightweight yet unstoppable saltwater reel, ideal for seabass fishing and all modern artificial lure techniques!
INFINITY XROSS
It's an advanced transmission technology that uses gears with wider teeth. The larger surface area distributes pressure more evenly across the entire face of the teeth when they meet during rotation. Compared to traditional gears, INFINITYXROSS increases service life by 100% without affecting fluidity. Advantages: INFINITYXROSS offers longer life, especially in extreme pressure conditions, resulting in an increase in reel life. This allows the reel to work at its maximum performance for longer and without loss of power.
INFINITY LOOP
It's an ultra slow swing designed for smaller sized spinning reels. The spool moves up and down very slowly, allowing the line to wind in an almost parallel configuration. This creates a smooth profile that improves line handling when casting and also when fighting fish.
Advantages: The INFINITYLOOP reduces the speed of ascent and descent of the reel. This results in less friction and vibration as the line leaves the spool and reduces drag on the lure, improving casting distance and accuracy. When fighting fish, the line is released from the spool more smoothly, increasing control over the prey.
INFINITY DRIVE
It's the evolution of the conventional X-SHIP, made even more powerful. Winding resistance has been significantly reduced by supporting the main shaft, which was previously supported by a pinion, with a special low-friction bushing. In addition, by applying a special surface treatment and special machining to the main shaft itself, the rotation torque is significantly reduced.
Advantages: Thanks to the INFINITY DRIVE it will be possible to recover in a much more fluid and precise way even under high pressure.
ANTI-TWIST FIN
It's a removable elastic fin (to be removed only if you use lines greater than 0.47mm or with big knots), placed on the rotor next to the line guide. It's designed to create the perfect tension between the line and the spool and ensure better line management efficiency, especially when using the soft and thin braid.
Advantages: The ANTI-TWIST FIN is particularly useful for those who fish with thin diameters or very soft lines and braids. If the line between the reel and the lure loosens when retrieve is stopped, or immediately after casting, the ANTI-TWIST FIN prevents the line from coming out of the line guide, avoiding any problems whatsoever.
DURACROSS DRAG
It's an advanced drag construction that combines the best features of felt washers with the longer life of crossed carbon washers.
Advantages: DURACROSS DRAG is a fantastic combination of fluidity and durability. Provides enough starting power for effective shoeing, and smoothness and durability for a better fighting fishing experience.
