The Shimano 21 Sephia XR S83ML is a technical all-rounder spinning rod designed for eging (squid jigging). Its 8'3" length offers excellent operability, excelling in both fast-paced number fishing and carefully probing tough, high-pressure scenarios around the bottom or structure. The rod features a SofTube Top for light jerk performance and delicate bite detection, combined with a powerful, tenacious blank that keeps you in control after the hookset.
