New Generation Standard
Specially developed as a spod reel, the Ultegra XTE Spod offers outstanding quality at an amazingly affordable price.
It scores with a high gear ratio and thus with a fast retrieval speed, a flat spool, 3 practical line clips and an ergonomic handle for more comfort when cranking. If you are looking for a spod reel that meets the demands of modern long-range spodding, you will be completely satisfied with the Ultegra XTE Spod.
Based on the Ultegra XTE 14000 you can be sure that the Ultegra Spod offers the reputation and performance that even hardened carp anglers expect. The Ultegra Spod is tough, strong and fast (124 cm per crank revolution). It makes spodding a real pleasure, has multiple line clips to set different distances and takes the enormous strain of spodding with ease. Inside the light and torsion-resistant Ci4+ body, the Ultegra XTE Spod hides an arsenal of the most advanced Shimano technologies.
HAGANE Gear and X-SHIP, in combination with Infinity Drive and Silent Drive, ensure amazing smooth running and smooth rotation. And while the internal gearing is a work of art, it's the casting performance that will ultimately win you over. The Super Slow 5 Oscillation ensures an amazingly clean and smooth line lay, which has been proven to reduce friction and increase maximum casting distance. But the other features also make a decisive contribution to the overall performance.
Rigid Cast reduces spool movement during the cast and thanks to the parallel body, the line flies through the starter ring at the perfect angle. And as line flies over the edge of the aluminum AR-C spool, the loops shrink to further reduce friction. The result is a casting performance that is unique in this price segment.
