Shimano Spinning reel Sephia BB
If you take your squid fishing seriously, you’ll already know the importance of using the correct reel when EGI fishing and they don’t come much better than the Sephia BB. With an enviable history going back many years, this model has been tweaked to perfection to maximize your performance. Based on a compact 3000 sized body, the 5.3:1 gear ratio retrieves 78cm of line per handle turn, which is the optimum speed to prevent slack line when working your EGI lures aggressively. The elongated round EVA handle grip is comfortable and secure, even when wet, and when you feel the pressure of a take the Rapid Fire Drag can be quickly adjusted to provide the perfect pressure for the situation and size of squid. At the heart of the lightweight Sephia BB is Shimano’s HAGANE Gear, Micro Module II and X-SHIP combination. This produces efficient, smooth and very direct rotation, to cope with the stop/start action of EGI fishing, enabling lures to be worked aggressively without fear of failure. The inclusion of Long Stroke Spool and refined Silent Drive technology further enhances the fishing experience. Also contributing to the overall feel and balance of the reel is the G Free Body, which weighs only 225g and perfectly balances the most popular 2.5m EGI rods. The shallow spool is perfect for squid fishing and the aluminum AR-C spool design ensures line management is maximized when fishing aggressively. To cope with the harsh saltwater environment, Sephia BB uses Shimano’s leading X-Protect (IPX-8) water protection for the body and also the line roller. For the ultimate matching combination, the Sephia BB reel can be partnered with the Sephia BB rod, which has the same colored graphics.

Safety instructions:
“ - Handle hooks with care: Always cover the fishing hooks or remove them from the rods for transportation. Use corks or hook covers to avoid accidental injury.
- Keep your distance: Fish at least 10 meters away from others to avoid accidents. Watch out for people behind you before casting. Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
- Carbon fiber rods conduct electricity. Do not use them during thunderstorms or near power lines.
- Never try to pull lures or leaders out of trees or bushes by applying pressure to the rod and fishing line. This can result in the bait/lead being catapulted towards the angler. Use only your hands to free the bait/lead.
- Train beginners: Instruct children and beginners in the safe handling of rods and hooks to minimize risks.
- Safety distance: Always keep a distance of at least six meters from high-voltage power lines when carrying or using fishing rods.
- Avoid high sticking: Do not bend your rod too much while you are drilling a fish, which is known as “high sticking. Hold the rod at a maximum loading angle of 45 to 60 degrees to avoid breakage.
- Aligning the rod for snags: If your lure snags, keep the rod pointed at the hook while walking backwards to reduce the strain on the rod.
- Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
