Shimano Ultegra XSE 14000

The Ultegra XSE are based on Shimano's best-selling model and are set to redefine the mid-priced long-throw reel market. Containing many of Shimano's leading long cast technologies, housed in stylish monochrome bodies, these reels exceed expectations and are set to become best sellers across Europe. Only Shimano has Super Slow Oscillation, which is reason enough to buy the Ultegra XSE. But consider all the other technologies that these long-range superstars contain and they are impossible to ignore. These reels will not only allow you to cast farther, but will also help you catch fish better, last longer, and look great with any rod you pair them with. If you are a carp angler and prefer dark colours, go for the XTE, if you are a surfer, or prefer lighter colours, the "silver" XSE should be your choice. Whatever your choice, you can be sure that you have made a great decision. Inside the Ultegra's light and stiff CI4+ body hides a selection of Shimano's most advanced technology. The HAGANE Gear and the X-SHIP combine with the Infinity Drive and the Silent Drive to offer surprisingly smooth and light rotation. However, don't be fooled. Put the Ultegra under pressure and it will produce all the power you need, and more. And while the in-house engineering is a work of art, it's the casting performance that you're buying this reel for. Super Slow 5 oscillation creates an incredibly smooth line lay that has been proven to reduce drag and increase casting potential. But there are other features that also contribute. The Rigid Cast reduces spool deflection when released during the cast and the Parallel Body sends the line at the perfect angle to the first ring. And when the line flows over the lip of the aluminum AR-C spool, it "rolls up" to reduce friction. The result is a brilliant cast never seen at such an affordable price.
