Product Details and Uses

Shimano Exsence B C3000M HG – The Lightweight Saltwater Specialist

The Shimano Exsence B C3000M HG is the ultimate expression of Shimano’s “Magnumlite” philosophy. At Gerry’s Fishing, we consider this reel the perfect bridge between the legendary smoothness of the Stella and the featherweight agility of the Vanquish. Designed specifically for the inshore sea bass specialist, the Exsence B is built with a magnesium HAGANE Body, making it incredibly light yet remarkably rigid—allowing you to fish longer sessions with zero fatigue.

The C3000M HG size is the “goldilocks” model for UK sea bass fishing. It offers a medium-depth spool (M) which is perfect for modern thin braids, and a High Gear (HG) ratio that provides the speed required to work lures effectively in moving water or when fishing “twitch-style” techniques.

Product Details & Performance Features

Magnesium HAGANE Body: The use of magnesium ensures the reel remains light enough for finesse tactics while maintaining the structural integrity required to keep internal gears in perfect alignment under the stress of a hard-fighting fish.
InfinityLoop & InfinityXross: These advanced technologies (borrowed from the 22 Stella) provide exceptionally slow spool oscillation for nearly perfect line lay. This reduces friction during the cast, allowing you to reach distant sandbars with ease. InfinityXross distributes the load over the gear teeth more evenly, doubling the gear durability.
Anti-Twist Fin: A specialized elastic fin located near the line roller helps maintain tension on the line even during “slack line” retrieves or stop-start techniques. This virtually eliminates “wind knots,” which is a game-changer for anglers using light PE braids.
DuraCross Drag: This new drag washer material provides the smoothness of felt drag but with the durability of carbon. It offers 10x more wear resistance, ensuring your drag remains consistent and “stutter-free” during the most critical moments of a fight.
Silent Drive & Micro Module II: By refining every internal component to microscopic tolerances, Shimano has eliminated any “play” or clicking noise. The result is a reel that feels “whisper-light” and completely connected to your lure.
X-Protect Technology: Designed for the harsh inshore environment, X-Protect uses a water-repellent coating and a labyrinth structure to keep saltwater out of the key internal areas (roller clutch and line roller) without adding rotational resistance.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: The Exsence B C3000M HG is the reel we recommend pairing with the Dialuna or Exsence Infinity rods. The “HG” retrieve of 89cm per turn is perfect for keeping up with sea bass that turn and run toward the angler, or for quickly retrieving your lure to make a second cast at a showing fish.
