Ultegra 3500 XSE Competition Shimano

 

The new Shimano Ultegra XSE contains many of Shimano's leading long cast technologies, in sleek monochrome bodies, this reel exceeds expectations and is set to become Europe's best selling reel.

Only Shimano has Super Slow Oscillation, which is reason enough to buy the Ultegra XSE. But consider all the other technologies these far-reaching superstars contain and it's impossible to ignore them.

These reels will not only allow you to cast further, they will also help you catch fish better, last longer and will look great with any rod you pair them with.

With its rigid CI4+ body the Ultegra becomes Shimano's lightest reel.

HAGANE Gear and X-SHIP combine with Infinity Drive and Silent Drive to deliver 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 internal engineering is a work of art, it's the casting performance that you'll be buying this reel for. The Super Slow 5 oscillation creates an incredibly smooth line lay that has been shown to reduce drag and increase casting potential. But there are other features that also contribute. The Rigid Cast reduces the deflection of the spool at the moment of releasing it during the cast and the Parallel Body sends the line at the perfect angle towards the first ring. And when the line flows over the lip of the AR-C aluminum spool, it "coils" to reduce friction. The result is a brilliant cast never seen before at such an affordable price.
