Shimano Ultegra XS E Spinning Reel

The Shimano Ultegra XS E Spinning Reel delivers serious performance for surf anglers chasing striped bass, red drum, and other robust inshore species. This long cast reel features a lightweight yet incredibly rigid CI4+ body, a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and possesses higher strength than conventional resin materials, allowing for extended fishing sessions with reduced fatigue. The reel's Super Slow 5 Oscillation system precisely manages line during retrieve, ensuring exceptional line lay on the spool by reducing the speed the line travels up and down, which translates to smooth performance when working baits or fighting fish. An integrated Parallel Body design improves line flow from the reel to the first guide, aiding overall efficiency, while the X-Ship system provides improved gear durability by supporting the pinion gear at both ends with bearings, maintaining precise alignment under heavy loads. Its Instant-Drag system enables quick adjustments to the front drag knob, a crucial feature for immediate response during a battle with a hard-running fish, and the G-Free Body technology shifts the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod, enhancing balance and comfort in hand.
