Shimano Expands Flagship MGL Spinning Reel Lineup With The Exsence 2500XGB

Shimano North America Fishing announces the debut of its Exsence B spinning reel lineup with a new 2500-size option, tailored for light-tackle anglers targeting freshwater species with techniques. As the flagship model in Shimano’s MagnumLite series, the Exsence B sets the standard for performance in finesse applications.

“When we talk about finesse, we’re talking about control — and that’s where this Exsence B dominates,” says Kade Gewanter, Freshwater Product Marketing Manager at Shimano North America Fishing. “The new size offering within the redesigned Exsence series — the Exsence 2500XGB — expands access to Shimano’s premium technologies for finesse bass fishing, allowing more anglers to fine-tune their gear for specific techniques using a premium reel equipped with Shimano’s MGL Rotor. Whether shaking a dropshot, or strolling a minnow, the Exsence B delivers the performance edge.”

Exsence B is engineered with Shimano’s most advanced reel technologies, empowering anglers with longer, more accurate casts, ultra-responsive control, and smooth, powerful retrieves. The lightweight frame is now available in a 2500-size option with ultra-fast XG gearing (6.4:1), making it the perfect spinning reel for targeting bass with finesse tactics.

At the heart of the Exsence B lies the MGL Rotor, constructed from a lightweight carbon-infused CI4+ material. The rotor’s asymmetrical design slashes rotational inertia to give anglers instant startup and agile bait control with every handle turn. For those who rely on precision presentations, this means subtle bites and executing fluid retrieves with ease.

Exsense B is built to perform under pressure with proprietary Shimano technologies. InfinityLoop enhances spool oscillation and line lay to deliver longer, more fluid casts. Infinity Drive provides effortless reeling under load and InfinityXross gear design for improved durability. Exsence B also features Rapid Fire Drag to enable fast and precise drag adjustments in the heat of the fight, while the DuraCross drag system provides silky-smooth resistance with added durability. The Anti-Twist Fin further enhances line management by maintaining consistent tension and reducing slack.

From the backcountry to the sweet water, Shimano built the all-new Exsence B series for anglers who want to cast further, feel more, and fight smarter.
