The first thing I noticed about this reel is its weight th-cam.com/users/postUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I wouldn't say it was uncomfortable but it was a little heavier than other similarly sized reels. However, that didn't deter my enjoyment of how smooth this reel is. I spooled it with 20lb. Tuf-Line XP and it's perfect for what I use it for. I have it paired with an 8'6" Medium/Fast Okuma SST Salmon/Steelhead rod. The combination is perfect for casting and even drifting. I used the reel all day and didn't experience any arm or hand fatigue except when fighting a few fish! The bail is solid and feels strong when engaging by reeling and manually closing the bail by hand. The large rubber handle grip is very comfortable. It's got a powerful drag, silky smooth reeling, and feels very comfortable in the hands. I recommend it!
I would appreciate if you could use lower gear ratio for your Surf reels and not just paint them in another color. The 4.3 is not suitable for heavy leads of 150-200g. It is a known fact that every second surfcaster has a japanese model because of the slower recovery and higher torque, look at which models are used in world championships, you will understand. But the great Shimano is never listening ! Also since you brought up so much new technology on the Ultegra, it would have been nice to add a ball bearing on the line roller for a few pennies, this without mentionning the bail in chromed plastic. Those are savings on a very wrong place. I really don't know how you manage your projects or who you talk to when you develop a new product, however each product should start from the user experience and not just creating some new marketing terms and force it upon them. Before I forget, please get rid of that stainless steel shaft, it is 20g unnecessary extra weight. Please don't get me wrong, I am a very big Shimano fan and I want to see you at your very best !
Shimano build reels like phones now so you have to replace them every few years they are nothing like used to be I bet many parts are from China now to
Me checking if I bought I nice reel from the shop. I look at the video and I am like yeah, that's amazing reel. Then this guy comes and goes bum bam bum, your reel is shit. 🤣
Without a baitrunner or clicker system, you have to loosen the drag, like dude does at 2:55 That's is a big missing feature for me when still fishing from the bank. Having to re-set the drag when a fish bites is just asking for a lost fish. I cannot risk that.
Yes sir, when you purchase the new Ultegra XSE you also receive a matching spare spool. In order to aid efficient line loading two spool reducers in 3500 and 10000 sizes are also provided!
Buenas!, alguien me sabe decir si el XSE tiene sistema de cierre automático del pickup, o si por el contrario, para cerrarlo hay que hacerlo manualmente. Gracias!
so you have a xse then i take it so you know all about them , had ultegras last 10 yrs mine have lasted well and out done all my other brand surf reels
@markmanson5035 can you read I had the xtd ultegra 5500 that came out like 3 years ago they didn't last 6 months the new shimano stuff is crap yeah older shimano stuff will last forever but the newer stuff are built like phones wont last 5 years now
ultegra 14000 xse...I bought 2 pieces, both of them are noisy, cheap material etc ...forget this industrial garbage...and I wont buy the 1500 eur version for real quality .. fu shimano for steeling

Then buy a 12000 oc....or even the old 12000D....both are fantastic reels anyway
does it includes the reducers?

@@FishWithShimanoEUROPE Pourquoi mettre un réducteurs de 3500 sur un 14.000!!!???? 6.000+10.000 aurait été un parfait combinaison !!
What rod he is matching with reel?
shimano ultegra surf , i have one they are very good
Buenas!, alguien me sabe decir si el XSE tiene sistema de cierre automático del pickup, o si por el contrario, para cerrarlo hay que hacerlo manualmente. Gracias!
La fermeture du pickup est manuelles, heureusement d’ailleurs ;)
Good price with HAGANE Gear + spare spool..............$200+................can buy
they really need to get a smaller size reel
The 5500 is perfect but .. not relesed 😭
👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
Ma parla come mangi.....
They are shit reels had the xtd 5500 the day they came out lasted 6 months nothing like they used to be

Actually the worst Video iv ever seen from Shimano its a Carp reel not a surf reel looool
too heavy 4 bearing reel , spend the extra and get the xtc
Io ne ho presi due
Bello mulinello ma avrei apprezzato invece la manovella completamente ribaltabile come quella del aero surf leader
Hagane gears where????Same gears from the xsc ci4🫢🤔
Is all the same .. only diference is 45 grams more and lower quality bearings and a new shape of the body .
@@daddydanne27 and a rubbish bailarm from the older models …
Is cheaper .. but only in 14000 format 🤔 way not a 5500 ?
