Shimano Ultegra XTE Reel
Containing many of Shimano’s leading ‘long cast’ technologies, in sleek monochromatic bodies, these reels exceed expectations and are set to become best sellers.
Containing many of Shimano’s leading ‘long cast’ technologies, in sleek monochromatic bodies, these reels exceed expectations and are set to become best sellers throughout Europe. Only Shimano has Super Slow Oscillation, which is reason enough for you to buy the Ultegra XTE.
But consider all of the other technologies contained in these long range superstars and they are impossible to ignore.
Not only will these reels enable you to cast further, they will also play fish better, last longer and look great on whatever rod you pair them with.
If you are a carp angler and prefer dark ‘stealth-like’ colours go for the XTE. Whichever you choose, you can be sure that you have made a great decision.
Hidden inside the lightweight, rigid, CI4+ body of the Ultegra is a selection of Shimano’s most advanced technology.
HAGANE Gear and X-SHIP combine with Infinity Drive and Silent Drive to deliver amazing smoothness and lightweight rotation.
However, don’t be fooled. Put the Ultegra under pressure and it will produce all of the power you need, and more.
And whilst the internal engineering is a work of art, it’s the casting performance that you will be buying this reel for.
The Super Slow 5 Oscillation generates amazingly smooth line lay that is proven to reduce friction and increase casting potential.
But there are other features that contribute too. Rigid Cast reduces spool deflection at the moment of release during a cast and Parallel Body sends the line at the perfect angle towards the first guide.
And as the line flows over the lip of the aluminium AR-C spool it ‘coils down’ to reduce friction. The result is casting brilliance never seen at such an affordable price.
Shimano Baitrunner Longcast XTB Reel
A large AR-C spool system with Slow oscillation in combination with the Aero Wrap II line lay system ensures maximum distance casting performance X-SHIP system for a smooth power transfer and stability of the gears thanks to the two-point support of the pinion gear by ball bearings.
The gears have been redesigned to minimise friction and increase power transfer from the long aluminum handle to the rotor.
This delivers more torque and winding power making fish playing easier and delivering more control.
Available in two sizes: the big size is perfect for the larger carp waters whilst the medium version is the ideal choice for medium sized waters where casting distance is not the most important requirement.The Big- and Medium Baitrunners are back and they are fully stocked with the best Shimano technologies.
The reels feature a large AR-C spool with slow oscillation in combination with the Aero Wrap II line lay system.
This combination ensures maximum distance casting performance. Also on these reels the X-Ship system is present ensuring a smooth power transfer and stability of the gears thanks to the two-point support of the pinion gear by ball bearings.
Internally all 4 ball bearings are shielded A-RB for increased durability and the gears have been redesigned to minimise friction and increase power transfer from the long aluminum handle to the rotor.
This delivers more torque and winding power making fish playing easier and delivering more control.
Available in two sizes, the Big size, with its awesome casting performance is perfect for the largetst carp waters, whilst the smaller Medium version is the ideal choice for medium sized waters where casting distance isn't the most important requirement. Both the Big- and Medium Baitrunner will be supplied with line reducers.
Shimano Reel Speedmaster 14000 XTD
The Speedmaster XTD is a stunning long range carp reel that offers remarkable value. Containing gearing and long cast technology taken directly from more expensive class-leading SHIMANO models, the understated ‘stealth’ finish fits perfectly with all Tribal TX Carp rods.
If you want a great combination of value, quality and performance, you’ll immediately be drawn to the Speedmaster XTD. Combining the same G Free Body silhouette as many of SHIMANO’S long-range reels, with an understated stealth appearance, the Speedmaster is visually stunning.
And in use it does not disappoint either. Not only will the Speedmaster enable you to cast further, the new gearing arrangement and technology will provide you with the strength needed to catch the largest specimen fish with ease.
A great choice for anglers of all abilities.
It really is difficult to fault the Speedmaster.
It has inherited many of the top features used by the leading SHIMANO long range reels. Super Slow 5-line oscillation is used on all long-range reels right up to the Power Aero price point, as is G Free Body, Parallel Body, Rigid Cast and a cold forged aluminium AR-C spool.
You even get a set of spool reducers to make spooling up more cost efficient.
And when it comes to playing fish the combination of HAGANE Gear and SILENT DRIVE technology optimises winding efficiency and the Instant Drag enables super-fast adjustment of drag tension to control fish with minimal fuss.
But perhaps the most impressive characteristic is that whilst the Speedmaster maintains the credibility of its more expensive cousins, it offers remarkable value for money.
