Shimano Ultegra XTE - In Depth

Shimano Ultegra XTE...
www.anglingdirect.co.uk/shima...
The Ultegra XTE fishing reel is the latest in a long line of successful Shimano reels. This one features all your favourite "long cast" technologies, including sleek monochromatic bodies that will make it an instant hit with European anglers everywhere! Shimano's Ultegra XTE Fishing Reel provides exceptional performance for both avid carp anglers and beginners alike. It features super slow oscillation which allows you to cast further with ease, as well as better play for fish. The sleek black finish is sure going to look great paired up with any rod of choice in your carp fishing armoury.
The Shimano Ultegra XTE Fishing Reel is designed for carp anglers who want a reel that's lightweight and rigid. Located inside the CI4+ body, which has been specially constructed from high-grade aluminium with a carbon fibre gear plate; this advanced technology provides strength without weighing you down on your next fishing adventure! The new Shimano Ultegra XTE Fishing Reel is an amazing feat of engineering that features HAGANE Gear and X-SHIP combined with Infinity Drive, and Silent drive to deliver smoothness and a lightweight rotation.
Casting performance is one of the reasons that you will buy Shimano Ultegra XTE Fishing Reels. Smooth line lay is generated by the Super Slow 5 Oscillation, which is proven to reduce friction and increase casting potential. Other features also contribute to this such as the rigid cast reduces spool deflection at the moment of release during a cast, and the parallel body directs the line to the first guide at the perfect angle. In addition, as the line passes over the edge of the aluminium AR-C spool, it 'coils down' to reduce friction. It delivers casts of unparalleled quality at an affordable price.

I've always had shimanos they have never let me down.

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Shimano certainly know how to make quality reels 💪

[@rhiodnstar]

Is there a video to watch on how to use the shims that come with these please ,, i want absolutely parallel line lay if possible

[@rafdannyboy]

Just ordered three of these badboys to replace my 8010gt ones. It's about time I had some new ones. Those old 8010s have done me well. Also order from Angling Direct!

[@AnglingDirectTV]

You won't be disapointed Danny, They are lovely reels. Your 8010 GT's must of been 20 years old?

[@rafdannyboy]

@@AnglingDirectTV they were! Kept me well and in great nick, just a different world these new ones and the modern day tech! Looking forward to them!

[@CW-wm7up]

I've just ordered myself cha

[@user-ml3ld9vw9h]

Why they don’t tell you how much line capacity with the different reductions?? That would be so helpful..! I’m getting crazy on how much of 0.35mm line I can have with the 10000 and the 3500 reductions..

[@davidwilmot1099]

I wish you'd put the price in at the end of every blog it makes life easier. 😕

[@Steve-kg7wd]

My thoughts exactly.

[@kevsmith972]

Must be embarrassed to with the price of tackle these days🤷🏽

[@betarlux]

190 € in croatia

[@davidwilmot1099]

£180. at Angling direct. Just been on their Web site in Nottingham.

[@GG-ch1hm]

Not to hard to look it up yourself. £180 not a bad price

Shimano Ultegra xte or Okuma Obsidian?

[@kenandyas7966]

What you end up getting

[@Matthewsafc86]

Will these be ok on ten foot rods

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Hi Matthew, the Ultegra 14000 XTE are quite a large reel for a 10ft rod. The Ultegra 5500 XTD are still available and would be a better balanced reel for 10 foot rods.
You best option would be to take your rods to you local Angling Direct store and ask if you could try the reels on your rods.

[@seancherry2470]

Hi is the drag waterproof

[@petersmith6412]

No! it's in the specifications, ? why are Shimano making reels with No waterproof drag is the question

[@thetroublesumone274]

What is the difference between the XSE and XTE 14000’s?

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Hi James,
The XSE is more popular with sea anglers. It has a shallow spool suited for braided mainline.

[@thetroublesumone274]

Ok but do they both have XProtect cause I just recently purchased XTE 14000 reel but not sure if it’s suitable for beach fishing here in Australia?

[@stuartporteous4700]

Would you say these will balance ok on a 10ft rod?

[@AnglingDirectTV]

Hi Stuart,
The Ultegra XTE is quite a big reel. If you have an AD store nearby the staff would be happy for you to try the reels on your 10ft rods.
The Ultegra XTD in 5500 would be the perfect match.

Hope this helps?
