Description

The 22 EXSENCE DC (22エクスセンスDC) is a baitcasting reel from Shimano's EXSENCE line -- the brand's dedicated seabass (シーバス) system. Per Shimano's official product page, this generation introduced the NEW 4x8 DC EXSENCE TUNE brake system for markedly more precise brake control, along with the MGL Spool III. Max drag and line capacity were also increased versus the prior model, making it more versatile -- including the potential to go up against pelagic fish (aoiso) on occasion.

Japanese product name: 22エクスセンスDC.

FAQ

Is the JDM version different from the US or AU release?

Often, yes. JDM releases can differ in spool depth, weight and handle options, and the Japanese lineup is usually broader — including sizes and models never exported.

Will spare spools from my current reel fit?

Spool compatibility is per generation, not per model name. Check the model year and size code against the spool before buying — the model code is listed on every reel.

What size should I choose?

As a ladder: 1000–2500 for finesse and light lines, 2500–4000 for general lure work, 4000 and up for heavy or salt duties. Match the size to your line and water first.

PG, HG or XG — what's the difference?

PG is a slow, powerful gear for cranking. HG is the all-round high gear. XG is the fastest retrieve for picking up slack quickly — higher speed trades away winding torque.

What warranty or service do imported reels have?

There is no local service centre for a JDM reel. Repairs and servicing go back to Japan, usually with a fee and a multi-week turnaround — weigh that before you buy.

Can I still get spares for older JDM-only models?

Often, yes — Japanese makers keep parts lists for older models, and some spares are stocked here. See the spares and custom parts collection, or ask before you order.
