Description

• The Ultegra XTE and XSE are based on Shimano's best-selling longcast models and are intended to redefine the mid-range Big Pit reels. These reels feature many of Shimano's leading 'long cast technologies,' possess a very sleek body, and exceed all expectations to once again become bestsellers throughout Europe.Only Shimano has Super Slow Oscillation, which is reason enough to purchase the Ultegra XTE and XSE. Especially when you consider all the other technologies these gems contain, it's actually hard to overlook them. With these reels, you can not only cast further, they will also provide a finer drilling experience, last longer, and look great on any rod with which you combine them. Whether you are a carp or beach angler, if you prefer dark 'stealth-like' colors, go for the XTE. If you prefer lighter colors, choose the 'silver' XSE. Whichever you choose, you can be assured that you’ve made a good decision.Hidden within the lightweight, rigid CI4+ body of the Ultegra is a selection of Shimano's most advanced technologies. HAGANE Gear and X-SHIP combined with Infinity Drive and Silent Drive ensure an amazingly smooth and light rotation. But don't be fooled. Put pressure on the Ultegra, and it will deliver all the necessary power and even more. While the internal engineering is a true masterpiece, the casting performance is an additional reason to buy this reel.The Super Slow 5 Oscillation generates an astonishingly smooth line lay, proven to reduce friction and enhance casting capabilities. But the Ultegra boasts even more features that add value. Rigid Cast reduces spool deflection at the moment of release during a cast, and Parallel Body directs the line at the perfect angle to the first guide. As the line runs off the lip of the aluminum AR-C spool, it 'rolls' off to reduce friction. This results in such brilliant casting attributes that were previously unavailable in this price class.
