Shimano Exsence DC - WHAT A BEAUTY! (table top view)

[@josharansky]

It would make sense that this reel would perform well at long distance casting. Interested if you could you let us know how it performs at a variety of ranges and applications?

[@ChewyThaoFishing]

Thanks for watching! This reel excels in long distance casting. I am able to flip/pitch/cast lures with EASE with the Exsence DC. There is really a different. I have a video that will be uploaded tonight where i am mostly fishing with this reel.

Would be great to get an in-depth comparison review on these two reels! :)

[@ChewyThaoFishing]

Indeed! Coming very soon :)

[@sbrb27]

Hi, any eta on the comparison video? ;-)

[@joshroberts5611]

I would also like to hear your comparison

[@wirinharwirjawan6422]

Great info and thanks for sharing.

[@andersriksson100]

Have you had a chance to see how it stacks up against the Antares DC yet?

[@ChewyThaoFishing]

Thanks for watching! Yes, a comparison video is coming soon! I've had a few months to test both out and will give an in-depth comparison. Stay tuned :)

[@thaos95]

Will wait for your review vs the 21 Antares before deciding. Prefer the darker look and newer tech on the Exsence.

[@ChewyThaoFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@diggy561]

Yezzir, lookin noice!

[@CS-wp5dz]

Looks killer. Didn’t they have another model before this? If so is this worth double the price of the other one? Curious your thoughts

[@ChewyThaoFishing]

There have been previous exsence DC models. The most recent one, before the 2022, was the 2017 model. A lot of people are also familiar with the 2012 model.

Which Poison Adrena did you pair with it

I had both the antares dc and exsence dc, but i sold the exsence dc due the weight of the reel; as much look nice and comes with clicking audible drag sound, weight is a bit turn off for my taste, plus the antares can do everything the exsence can do and sometimes even better in some case, although i do highly recommend to those who in the market for these caliber type of reels; you can't go wrong with neither one of these reel at all

[@ChewyThaoFishing]

Agreed - both reels are exceptional and cannot go wrong with either or :)

[@muskyvictim]

I have both and looking to get another of each

[@thebasshogg7472]

Beautiful reeeel…

[@ChewyThaoFishing]

Sure is!

[@Jason-416]

My favourite spinning reel is the shimano exsence. I’m not a dc guy I prefer daiwa zillion sv but I might have to pick up that exsence dc. It looks so nice with the all black. I’m going to wait for your in-depth review and hope it’s soon.

[@ChewyThaoFishing]

Thanks for watching, Jason. You are right - this reel is nice with the all black. Can't wait to put these to the test and get an in-depth review.

[@emmpak]

I would have gotten the Antares DC MD 23 model instead....but that just me.

[@ChewyThaoFishing]

Who said I wouldn’t be getting that reel as well? 😅

[@emmpak]

@Chewy Thao Fishing I buy one...If you do,I promise.

[@thesonorandesertangler]

Isn't that a 300 size spool?

[@walterferreira9587]

@@thesonorandesertanglerIt’s about a 250 spool size, more line capacity than a curado 200 but less than the curado 300.
