{"product_id":"shimano-26-sephia-xtune-egi-rod","title":"Shimano 26 Sephia Xtune Egi Rod","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 26 Sephia Xtune is Shimano's high-tier eging range, built on a lightweight, high-rigidity blank with high-modulus carbon, Spiral X Core and a carbon-monocoque grip. Removing the foam between blank and palm is the point of that grip: what reaches your hand is the blank itself, which is why the Xtune finds bites the tier below simply doesn't. Three models cover the full spread of Australian squid work — the S88L+ as the all-round finesse rod, the S92ML+ for distance off a breakwall, and the S85M for big egi in current.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eS88L+ — the all-rounder\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eA delicate tip for finesse presentation with enough butt for a hard jerk and proper slack-line control.
