Shimano Japan Exsence DC reel is to offer the best casting performance with braided lines. It features the most advanced DC digital control brake system to date, 8.0:1 fast gear system, saltwater fine components, and X-SHIP gear system to make it great bait caster.

The body frame is made of aluminum alloy to stand for heavy use. Its DC digital braking system has improvements to add 3 more settings to make it 7 options.

Intelligent DC+ brake system allows you to pick one of 7 casting modes.
4 settings from MIN to MAX: PE braided line standard mode. You'll be comfortably cast with one of these.
F: Fluorocarbon line mode, to suites the best for fluorocarbon lines, and it emits a little stronger brake at the beginning than Standard MAX.
BB: Bulky Big-bait mode, it emits steady relatively strong brake all the way in the casting.
SP: Special PE braking mode, the best for night fishing. Strong assist brake is applied at the end of casting when rigs land, to prevent backlash even if you may not see rigs landing on water. The brake profile of the anterior half is similar to Standard mode 3. No DC sound in the beginning, and it happens when the assist brake launches.
