Engineered for casters who value casting distance over anything else, the Shimano Ultegra XSE Spinning Reel is the ultimate surf fishing reel for launching baits well past the breakers. These feature-packed spinning reel utilizes unique technologies to help angers cast further than ever before. Returning from previous generations of Ultegra surf reels is Shimano's Super Slow 5 Oscillation technology. This technology dramatically slows the spool oscillation to deliver an extremely even line lay to virtually eliminate the crisscrossing of line as it wraps around the spool. This technology, combined with the super elongated spool design, allows line to evenly flow off the spool during a cast with much less line turbulence going through the guides. This process reduces friction that creates drag on the weight or lure, slowing it down and thus shortening the cast. 

Making its debut in the surf reel category is Shimano's Infinity Drive technology, which enhances fish-fighting performance by increasing winding power by as much as 30% when under a heavy load. The ultra-rigid CI4+ body reduces flex and provides a lightweight yet solid foundation for better meshing of the cold-forged HAGANE Gear. Together, these unique features translate to exceptional smoothness and long-lasting gear durability. For added toughness in unforgiving saltwater environments, Ultegra XSE utilizes X-Protect labyrinth construction for increased water resistance. Where ever your surf fishing adventures may take you, the Ultegra XSE provides the benefits of longer casts and enhanced reliability that anglers along any coastline can appreciate.
