Re: New Excense dc
i hope it comes with a smaller body compared to exsence 2017 dc model but i doubnt it it might be the same frame even the spool size is the same i assume maybe the same spool of antares dc weighing 16.5 gr ( 2017 exsence dc is about 18.5 gr afaik ) maybe we can use this new spool on our 2017 model eh?

Gonna fish it this weekend but from comparing side to side with Steez ct, I know it’s gonna perform flawlessly. I h...

Re: Exsence dc 17 dc sound gone
Thanks guys.
Im not experienced with gear so ill ask a friend of mine to open up the reel and check the internals.
if it is indeed a salt corrhosion problem then im gonna be quite dissappointed.
i used the reel 5-6 times in saltwater and always rinsed with tap water afterwards..

Re: Exsence dc 17 dc sound gone
update : Shimano local service checked the machine .
They couldnt figure out the problem , not even tried to open the reel and see if the bearings have any issue etc ..
back to square one i guess..
