The Ultegra XTE and XSE are based on Shimano's best-selling longcast models and are designed to redefine the mid-range of the Big Pit reels. These reels incorporate many of Shimano's leading 'long cast technologies', feature an exceptionally sleek body, and exceed all expectations to become bestsellers across Europe once again.Only Shimano offers Super Slow Oscillation, which alone is reason enough to purchase the Ultegra XTE and XSE. When you consider all the other technologies these gems contain, it's hard to ignore them. With these reels, you can cast farther, enjoy smoother reeling, experience longer-lasting performance, and they look fantastic with any rod you choose to pair them with. Whether you're a carp angler or a beach caster, if you prefer darker, stealth-like colors, go for the XTE. If you lean towards lighter colors, choose the 'silver' XSE. Whichever you pick, you can be sure you've made a smart choice.Housed in 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, deliver an incredibly smooth and light rotation. But don't be fooled. Put the Ultegra under pressure, and it will provide all the necessary power and more. While the internal mechanics are a true masterpiece, the casting performance is another compelling reason to purchase this reel.The Super Slow 5 Oscillation generates an amazingly smooth line lay, proven to reduce friction and enhance casting capabilities. But the Ultegra boasts even more beneficial features. Rigid Cast minimizes spool deflection at the release point 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 casting performance so brilliant that it has never before been available in this price range.
