Shimano 2017 5 New Reels~~~~Happy Holiday~~~~

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

So I am wondering. Did I miss it, are these reels coming to US or will they be JDM only? While I have ordered JDM before it is nice if we can get them state side.

Do you have any pictures or a link to a description of the reel?
On shimanoJP, I can only find details of the 2013 Exsence.
