Shimano Ultegra XTE Spod Reel

Based on Shimano’s best-selling models, the Ultegra XTE is poised to redefine the mid-range big pit reel scene. This big pit spod reel with slim monochromatic body now includes many additional new leading Shimano “long cast” technologies and will exceed your expectations. Only Shimano reels possess Super Slow Oscillation, actually reason enough to purchase the Ultegra XTE. But also consider all the other technologies in this impossible to ignore big pit star reel. Not only will this reel allow you to cast further, the reel will fish better, last longer and look great under any rod you combine it with. If you prefer dark “stealth-like” colors, the XTE is your choice. Hidden in the stiff lightweight CI4+ body is a selection of Shimano’s most advanced reel technology. HAGANE Gear and X-SHIP combine with Infinity Drive and Silent Drive for amazing smoothness and lightweight rotation. Don’t be fooled, however. Test the Ultegra to the max once when it’s on or off and the mill will produce the power you need and more. And while the internal mill technology is a work of art, it’s the throwing performance you’ll want to own this reel for. The Super Slow 5 Oscillation generates an amazingly smooth line travel that has been proven to reduce friction and increase your throwing potential. As if that wasn’t enough…there’s more. The following features also contribute to the perfect operation of the reel. Rigid Cast reduces spool deflection at the moment of release during the cast and Parallel Body sends the line at the perfect angle to the rod’s starting guide. As the line passes over the spool lip of the aluminum AR-C spool, it reduces friction. The end result of all this is a workhorse and casting canon you’ve never seen before in this price range!
