Evolved Core Performance. Sharpened Individual Power.
Built on the concept of “REAL SEABASS,” the Exsence Genos series continues its pursuit of the ultimate feeling in seabass fishing—an experience shaped by instinct, sensitivity, and raw emotion. Now, it’s evolved even further.
With Shimano’s advanced Spiral X Core technology as its foundation, this series refines essential rod performance like never before. All models now feature Shimano's original full X Guide system—ultralight and perfectly designed to unleash the blank's true potential.
From casting to retrieving, you’ll feel lighter, more responsive handling and precise control in every scene. Trouble-free line management has also been enhanced, improving your odds of landing fish during those fleeting moments of opportunity.
The Carbon Monocoque Grip delivers outstanding sensitivity with its hollow, lightweight, thin-walled design—allowing vibrations to transmit directly into your hand. Its flat-sided, multifaceted shape increases gripping power when casting and enhances stability during retrieves and intense fights under the arm.
Each model in the Exsence Genos line is uniquely designed for specific combat abilities, refined over years of research and field testing. For anglers chasing the ultimate seabass experience—beyond the five senses—this is the rod that makes no compromise.
