Rod Sephia SS

Crafted by Shimano's Japanese experts, the Sephia SS stands out as a premium EGI rod selected for European squid fishing. Featuring a remarkably lightweight design and a forgiving moderate-fast action, its Spiral X and Hi-Power X carbon blank boasts a sensitive tip for enhanced performance. Paired with the Sephia SS reel, this combination provides excellent quality and functionality.
As squid fishing with EGI lures gains traction across Europe, more anglers are increasingly drawn to this specialised technique. If you are a Squid enthusiast seeking a meticulously crafted rod and reel setup, the Sephia SS emerges as the ideal choice. Developed in Japan by Shimano's leading squid fishing experts, the Sephia SS embodies versatility and performance. Both models have a moderate-fast action, and strike a balance between sensitivity and power, allowing you to cast EGI lures to distant feeding squid. Meanwhile, its sensitive tip enhances lure action and bite detection, ensuring an immersive and rewarding fishing experience.
Constructed with Shimano's exclusive Spiral X technology reinforced with Hi-Power X, the Sephia SS features an ultra-light and highly responsive blank, offering remarkable versatility. The fusion of these two carbon technologies ensures a perfectly straight, pure curve during casting and playing, minimizing twisting or torsional rotation for a superb fishing experience. Available in two models (medium light and medium), they cover all effective Egi sizes used across Europe, with the medium light version boasting an exceptionally sensitive tip section. The Sephia SS is fitted with premium components, including Fuji SiC guides and a custom-designed Shimano Ci4+ reel seat mounted on an EVA split-grip handle, as expected from Shimano's commitment to excellence.

SPIRALX_RD
SPIRAL X

Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's patented Spiral X construction enhances catching power for anglers. Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a middle layer of vertical fibers as well as inner and outer layers, both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fiber sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced compression rigidity and increased torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fish fighting.


HI-POWERX_RD
HI-POWER X

Hi-Power X construction uses diagonally-wrapped carbon tape to form an array of "X" shapes on the rod blank's outermost layer. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. This manufacturing process allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control for the angler.


SOFTUBETOP_RD
SOFTUBETOP

Shimano SOFTUBE TOP provides the sensitivity of an ultra fine solid carbon tip with the lightness of a hollow/tubular construction. SOFTUBE TOP construction can be found on rods where sensitivity and finesse are both important requirements. The smooth, seamless action of SOFTUBE TOP offers the angler an unrivalled experience for bite detection and fish-playing performance.


TAFTECINFINITY_RD
TAFTEC INFINITY

TAFTEC INFINITY realizes 3 times the winding strength and 5 times the winding amount of our conventional solid tips. It is a high intensity solid tip that surpasses the strength and sensitivity of Taftec α.


CI4+_RD
CI4+

CI4 is a resin material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material.The rigidity and durability have been greatly improved from original CI4 material while maintaining the lightness of the material, making it possible to reduce the size and weight of the reel.
