Description

• The Ultegra XTD & XSD are Shimano's best-selling Big Pit/Surfcasting reels and have been for many years. The compact 5500 models dominate their category, combining exceptional value with undeniable performance and credibility.If you are the type of angler who fishes smaller carp ponds, then the Ultegra 5500 XTD, with its compact size and stealth finish, is certainly worth considering. The compact size balances perfectly with lighter test curve rods and is particularly suited to shorter 9ft-11ft models that are becoming increasingly popular. It is also an excellent reel for specialist large river rods when fishing for barbel with heavy lead heads and feeders. Alternatively, if you need a compact long-range surfcasting reel to balance a light surfcasting rod in the 80-120g casting range, then check out 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 sure this is a reel that will last. The casting performance is maximized by the use of Parallel Body design with Slow Oscillation, and, for ease of use, the 5500 is equipped with Instant Drag which makes changing from free spool to fighting mode super fast and securing your spool easier for a long cast in the surf.
