The Ultegra XTE Spod is a specially designed spod reel that offers a fantastic combination of value and performance. With a fast retrieving speed, shallow spool, 3 line clips and an ergonomic handle for comfort, the Ultegra XTE Spod will fit seamlessly into any angler set-up. Based on the stunning feature packed Ultegra XTE 14000, you can be sure that the Ultegra Spod has the performance, credibility and compliments that serious carp anglers need. Robust, strong and fast (124cm per revolution), the Ultegra Spod makes spodding easier and has multiple line clips to clip in at different distances so you can cover more swims with the same setup. Hidden within the lightweight, stiff CI4+ body of the Ultegra XTE Spod is a selection of Shimano's most advanced technology. The Super Slow 5 Oscillation generates an amazingly smooth line lay that is proven to reduce friction and increase casting potential. But there are also other features that contribute. Rigid Cast reduces spool deflection at the moment of release during a cast and Parallel Body sends the line at the perfect angle to the first guide. And as the line flows over the lip of the aluminum AR-C spool, it 'rolls' down to reduce friction. Fluorocarbon – Shimano Tribal Fluorocarbon 0.35 available in 790m or 5000m reels (spool reducers supplied with the reel) Braided Line – PowerPro Moss Green in 0.28 available in 1370 or 2740 meter spools perfect for filling 2 or 4 spools completely.
