Shimano 23 Sephia SS Concept Movie Key Features Adopts a shallow spool, making it well suited for technical egging Sephia SS uses a shallow spool for each model. The specifications are perfect for eging, as it can spool up exactly PE0.8 for 150m. Since there is no need for adjustment with backing line it ensures a light feeling of use while eliminating unnecessary troubles. It can be used for everything from technical games using thin lines to power games like aiming for large Calamari off the rocks and tip run egi jigs on boats. Supports a wide range of eging games. Compatible with both single handle and double handle types Eging requires a wide, darting rod action. Many fishers opt for a double handle setup to prevent unintentional rod rotation due to its size. Accordingly, SEPHIA SS is equipped with a double handle. Additionally, a double handle makes it easier to access the knob while casting. For a lighter feel, the single handle design offers the advantage of decreased weight. SEPHIA SS offers a full selection to suit all eging preferences. EVA handle knob allows for firm grip and comfortable operation The material for the handle knob of SEPHIA SS is EVA for both single and double models. This allows you to grip the knob firmly and supports more reliable steering operation. Furthermore, the EVA shape is designed to fit your fingers, so you can hold the knob naturally without feeling uncomfortable. Whether it's when lightly grasping the knob when collecting a line slug, when a high load is applied during a fight with a large bluefin squid, or when delicate operation is required such as catching a strike during the fall of an egi, the eging game is perfect. Achieves a comfortable operating feel in all situations. Sephia SS reel & rod Adopts a common design The new SEPHIA SS uses a common design theme for both the reel and rod. Designed to create a high sense of unity by combining the two. The coloring is also a new subdued dark red, expressing a sense of quality that goes beyond the grade. In addition, the combination of SEPHIA SS reel and rod should be able to experience the benefits of Shimano's advanced technology, not only in terms of the uniformity of the design, but also in terms of the total balance of the egging tackle. It not only provides the joy of ownership to the angler who holds it in their hands, but also provides operability, security, and satisfaction that transcends its class in actual combat. We want you to experience the advanced quality of SEPHIA SS with your own hands. 3.55kg 58cm Hood Length Calamari during Shimano TV Filming During the filming of Shimano TV official channel (Youtube) held in June 2023, instructor Masataka Yukawa caught a monster Calamari in a day game. Technology HAGANEShimano's design philosophy is to utilize metal processing technology to create truly usable products.Robust enough to continue to be used with confidence even in harsh conditions. Precise winding comfort and reliable operation that stimulates the senses. And the winding power is beyond imagination. By honestly pursuing reels that anglers can truly use, this work has led to the creation of HAGANE gear and HAGANE bodies, which are Shimano's beliefs. All for the angler. HAGANE gearOur goal was to create a rolling experience that will never change.A block of metal is pressed under high pressure and finished with micron precision without cutting. A unique technology known as precision cold forging creates a hard, durable gear that allows smooth winding. Micro module gear IIMild and smooth. A gem of gear feel.Micro Module Gear II has evolved with cutting-edge tooth surface design and manufacturing technology unique to Shimano. We reviewed the design of each tooth surface of the gear and pursued the ideal tooth shape. We have also achieved reduced noise and improved smooth gear feel. X ShipLarger diameter drive gear, optimal placement of pinion and drive gear, and two-point support with pinion gear bearings. The meshing of these robust gears maintains light reeling that is resistant to loads. Silent DriveThe basic design of the entire body and drive-related parts were reviewed one by one to reduce minute rattles, gaps, and shaking between parts down to the smallest detail. It provides smooth and quiet reel rotation. Magnum Light RotorReduces rotational inertia and strengthens rotor rigidity.The Magnum Light rotor uses an asymmetrical rotor structure to achieve a completely different level of rotational lightness, with the aim of improving operability and sensitivity. Furthermore, we succeeded in reducing rotational inertia by reducing the weight of the line roller, using titanium for the veil, and optimizing the thickness of the rotor. X ProtectFor medium and small general-purpose spinning reels, which require lighter spinning, we focused on a non-contact structure that does not compromise the lightness of the spinning. In addition to conventional water-repellent treatment, a labyrinth structure that suppresses water penetration is combined to achieve high water-resistant performance despite the non-contact nature of the structure. It is used in the stopper bearing section and line roller section. G Free BodyG FREE BODY technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler’s hand, the G FREE BODY helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort. AR-C SpoolThe spool has a special spool ring shape. This creates a rectifying effect on the line and realizes both suppression of line trouble and long casting performance. Long Stroke SpoolThe LONG STROKE SPOOL has a longer stroke compared to conventional spool designs. It contributes to improved casting feel and distance. Ci4+A new carbon material that is an evolution of the lightweight carbon material C14. The rigidity and durability have been significantly improved while maintaining the lightness, making it possible to make the reel smaller and lighter. Rigid Support DragBy supporting the spool at the main shaft and two bearings in the spool, the spool frustration is suppressed and stable and smooth drag performance is demonstrated. Rapid Fire DragThe drag force changes greatly depending on the rotation speed of the drag knob, and this function is very effective in situations where you want to instantly adjust the drag, such as when you want to stop a fish around structure or when a fish suddenly pierces under your feet. S A-RBS A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the rotation of the bearing. One-Piece BailOne-Piece Bail allows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. The seamless design reduces friction and decreases the chance of tangles or the line catching on the bail arm.
