Product Details and Uses

Shimano Exsence Infinity Spinning 9’6″ 6-38g 2pc – The Pinnacle of Sea Bass Engineering

The Shimano Exsence Infinity S96M is widely considered the “Ultimate” sea bass rod in existence. Sourced from Shimano’s most exclusive JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) range, it represents a “no-compromise” approach to lure fishing. At Gerry’s Fishing, we highlight the Exsence Infinity as the gold standard for anglers who demand missile-like casting distance, unnatural sensitivity, and the most advanced carbon technologies currently available.

Every component, from the Carbon Shell Grip to the Titanium X-Guides, is designed to maximize feedback. This is a rod that doesn’t just catch fish; it communicates exactly what your lure is doing at the end of a 100-meter cast.

Elite Product Details & Performance Features

Spiral X Core & Nanosheet Technology: This is Shimano’s strongest and lightest blank construction. By using Nanosheet technology to fuse carbon fibers at a molecular level, the Exsence Infinity achieves a level of “reactivity” where the rod snaps back to position instantly after a cast, eliminating all friction-inducing vibration.
Carbon Shell Grip & Monocoque: In a revolutionary move, the Exsence Infinity uses a Carbon Shell Grip in addition to the Carbon Monocoque handle. This entirely hollow carbon structure acts as a high-fidelity amplifier, transmitting vibrations that would be lost in traditional EVA or cork grips.
Titanium X-Guides: These are Shimano’s proprietary guides, which are even lighter and more aerodynamic than standard titanium guides. They are designed to have the minimum possible effect on the blank’s natural action, ensuring the rod remains crisp and perfectly balanced.
Perfection Reel Seat CI4+: Designed to be virtually weightless, this reel seat provides a seamless connection between the reel and the blank. It is ergonomically shaped to fit the palm, enhancing the tactile feedback received through the Carbon Shell Grip.
Missile-Like Casting: The 9’6″ length, combined with the extreme “snap” of the high-modulus carbon, allows this rod to launch lures in the 6-38g range further than almost any other rod on the market. Whether you are using a light 7g surface lure or a 30g metal jig, the distance is simply staggering.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: The Exsence Infinity S96M is for the angler who has tried everything else and wants the absolute best. It is a “living” rod; you can feel the lure’s hooks ticking against a single blade of seagrass. Pair this with a Shimano Exsence 4000MXG reel for a setup that feels like an extension of your own arm.
