Description

• The Ultegra XTD & XSD represent Shimano's best-selling Big Pit/Surfcasting reels, holding this title for many years. The compact 5500 models reign supreme in their category, blending exceptional value with unrivaled performance and credibility.If you are the type of angler targeting smaller carp ponds, the Ultegra 5500 XTD, with its compact size and stealth finish, is certainly worth considering. Its compact form pairs perfectly with lighter test curve rods, particularly suiting the increasingly popular short 9ft-11ft models. It also serves as an excellent reel for specialist large river rods when barbel fishing with heavy lead weights and feeders. Alternatively, if you need a compact long-range surfcasting reel to balance a light surfcasting rod in the 80-120g casting range, take a look at the silver/gunmetal Ultegra XSD, which will increase your casting distance without overloading your chosen rods.The combination of Shimano's high build quality and X-SHIP technology delivers the smooth performance associated with the Ultegra XTD/XSD. And, with hundreds of thousands in use throughout Europe, you can be assured that this is a reel built to last. Casting performance is maximized by the use of the Parallel Body design with Slow Oscillation, and, for ease of use, the 5500 is equipped with Instant Drag, making the change from free spool to fight mode super quick and enabling easier spool locking for a long cast into the surf.
