CARBON MONOCOQUE with excellent sensitivity, specially designed for SEPHIA LIMITED. The shape is easy to put your hand on when casting while maintaining a high level of sensitivity, which increases the stability of the rod. Furthermore, the surface part of this structure incorporates a one-layer structure to thoroughly pursue weight reduction and sensitivity transmission rate for high performance. Super-sensitive grip with excellent functionality and design.

CARBONSHELL GRIP adopts a lightweight and excellent sensitivity carbon material for the reel seat part as well. SHIMANO's original grip enhances vibration transmission by designing a hollow structure, enabling to feel more information in the water. SHIMANO's outstanding carbon molding technology has resulted in a next-generation grip that boasts of uncommonly high sensitivity that uses neither EVA nor cork.

X GUIDE is SHIMANO's original high-performance guide that combines lightness, trouble-less, and casting performance at a high dimension, and Sephia LIMITED adopts full X GUIDE. 3D titanium top + 3D titanium + AERO titanium setting brings out the performance of the blanks more than enough to support anglers in all scenes of squid fishing such as cast, twitch, and fight.

Sephia LIMITED adopts technology worthy of the LIMITED name not only for the basic structure of the blanks, but also for the various parts equipped on it. One of them is X GUIDE Aero titanium. While fully bringing out the performance of the blanks, its compact and circular cross-sectional guide frame reduces aerodynamic drag. Moreover, the inner diameter has been enlarged by adopting a thin-walled ring. This reduces line release resistance and improves stress-free light swings and long casting performance. Also, the lightweight guide contribute to quicker convergence of tip blurring. The frame is shaped to prevent line tangle, and even if line slack occurs during repeated jerks in windy conditions, it is unlikely to get tangled in the guides, thus preventing line trouble before it happens. This is exactly the guide setting that is a perfect match for the squid fishing rod.

For the most important and most trouble-prone tips.
Original guide produced by SHIMANO's unique cold forging technology. Calculated inclination angles by 3D technology and a three-dimensional structural frame formed without any bumps or sharp edges, which combines trouble-free performance suppressing thread tangling and smooth thread release performance and reduces thread tangling to the tip. The compact size allows the distance between the line and the blanks to be closer, thus delicate bites to be transmitted more clearly.

Spigot ferrule adopts a core material specially designed to match the rigidity of the blanks. The joint is bent so that the load is transmitted smoothly from the tip to the butt, and shows a beautiful bend close to 1 piece. No power loss in cast, twitch, and fight, and enjoy the pull of squid.

Perfection seat CI4+ has no bumps between the hood and the seat, making it easy to grip. There is no discomfort felt when operating or reeling the lure, and pain caused by long hours of gripping is suppressed.
