Shimano 21 Sephia XR S83L

The Shimano 21 Sephia XR S83L is a light-action eging rod designed for all-around squid jigging, particularly effective from autumn to late autumn when squid are smaller or less active. Its soft yet crisp blank delivers precise control for slow jerks while maintaining stability after casts and retrieves. Despite the L power rating, Spiral X Core construction provides ample backbone to handle unexpected larger catches.
