Shimano Ultegra 14000 XSE Reel
The Ultegra XSE is based on Shimano’s best selling models and is set to redefine the mid-priced long range reel market. Containing many of Shimano’s leading ‘long cast’ technologies, in sleek monochromatic bodies, this reel exceeds expectations and is set to become a best seller throughout Europe.
Only Shimano has Super Slow Oscillation, which is reason enough for you to buy the Ultegra XSE. But consider all of the other technologies contained in this long range superstar and it is impossible to ignore. Not only will this reel enable you to cast further, it will also play fish better, last longer and look great on whatever rod you pair it with.
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.
