SHIMANO ULTEGRA XTE SPOD 14000

The Ultegra XTE and XSE are based on Shimano’s best-selling models and are set to redefine the mid-range Big Pit reel market. Incorporating many of Shimano’s key “long cast” technologies in sleek monochromatic bodies, these reels exceed expectations and are destined to become best-sellers across Europe. Only Shimano offers Super Slow Oscillation, a feature alone worth choosing the Ultegra XTE and XSE for. But the reels also include an impressive array of top-tier technologies.

These reels not only allow you to cast farther, but they are extremely powerful, longer-lasting, and will look great on any rod you pair them with. If you’re a carp angler and prefer dark “stealth” colors, choose the XTE; if you’re a surfcaster or prefer lighter shades, the XSE “silver” is your choice. Whichever you choose, you can be confident you’ve made an excellent decision.

Hidden inside Ultegra’s light and rigid CI4+ body is a selection of Shimano’s most advanced technology. HAGANE Gear and X-SHIP combine with Infinity Drive and Silent Drive to offer extraordinary smoothness and effortless rotation.

Don’t be fooled: put the Ultegra under pressure, and it will deliver all the power you need and more. While the internal engineering is a work of art, it is for casting performance that you buy this reel. Super Slow Oscillation 5 produces a flawless line lay, proven to reduce friction and increase casting potential. Other features contribute as well: Rigid Cast reduces spool deflection during release, and Parallel Body sends the line at the perfect angle toward the first guide. As the line slides over the AR-C aluminum spool lip, the distances you can achieve will amaze you. The result is a perfect reel at a very reasonable price.
