Shimano Exsence

Post by BRONZEBACK32 » Sat Aug 05, 2017 4:21 pm

Just placed a order for a Exsence today :)

Is it here yet?


I've been wanting one since they came out in Japan, so I finally pushed the "confirm" button, it takes a lot of work
to push that damn button....

3000hg is going on a megabass addermine.

The wait is killing me, ever since I ordered it seems time has just slowed down ](*,)

Looking forward to your initial inspection sir. Do your best not to tackle the delivery driver prior to unboxing. :big grin: I feel for ya'. Looking at one to wed to a Conquest that's on pre-order.

Inbound out of customs is the last it moved after looking up tracking for the hundredth time LOL
So its in California right now so if I'm super lucky it will be here maybe (possibly) tomorrow (Utah) I'm hoping but if not
I hope its here Saturday....

I also have a rod and a couple other things coming from Tackle Warehouse, one of my boxes went from California to Kentucky...WTF?

I've taken it out a few times now, caught a bunch of smaller fish.

One thing I can say is its the smoothest reel I own, I hope it stays that way....I love it
