Shimano Ultegra XSD Reel

Shimano Ultegra XSD Reel

With its dark silver metallic frame and machined aluminium handle, the sleek and stylish Shimano Ultegra XSD has been designed with the Sea angler in mind, combining stunning cosmetics with flawless performance.

The AR-C spool is fitted is a unique angled spool lip that lets the line fly from the reel with minimal friction allowing you to maintain line speed to achieve long distance casts. This is supported with Aero Wrap II technology, an innovative worm gear oscillation system that pitches the spool oscillation to perfectly complement the speed of your cast, giving you perfect line lay every time.

The gear system on this reel has been precision engineered to ensure you get maximum performance efficiency with every cast and retrieve. X-Ship engineering in the Hypergear system supports the pinion gear, positioning it with precision centrally on the drive gear to achieve full efficiency.

Dyna-balance stops reel wobble, ensuring that every bit of power you exert through the handle is transferred to the gears,. giving you amazing cranking power. Instant drag allows you to minutely adjust the drag on your reel with incredibly speed and accuracy so you are able to switch between freespool and fight mode in a minimal number of turns.

Although it is the ultimate surf fishing reel, this reel is also great for carp anglers who want cold-forged big pit perfection. The Ultegra 14000 XS-D is an excellent addition to Shimanos surf and big pit collection.
