These reels, which incorporate many of Shimano's leading technologies for long casts, in elegant monochromatic bodies exceed expectations and are ready to become bestsellers across Europe.

Only Shimano has Super Slow Oscillation, which is a good enough reason to buy the Ultegra XTE and XSE. But none of the other technologies contained in these superstars for long casting can be ignored. Not only will these reels allow you to cast further, improve fish fighting, last longer, and look great on any rod you put them on.

If you are a carp angler and prefer dark colors, choose the dark XTE, or if you prefer lighter colors, your choice should be the silver XSE. Whichever you choose, you can be sure you made a great decision.

Inside the lightweight and sturdy CI4+ body of the Ultegra lies a selection of Shimano's most advanced technologies. HAGANE Gear and X-SHIP combined with Infinity Drive and Silent Drive provide amazing smoothness and light winding. But don't be fooled. Just load the Ultegra and it will deliver all the performance you need and more.

And while the internal construction is a work of art, it is the casting performance that you buy this reel for. Super Slow 5 Oscillation creates incredibly smooth line lay, which has been proven to reduce friction and increase casting potential.

However, there are also other very interesting technologies used in this reel. Rigid Cast reduces spool deflection at the moment of release during the cast, and Parallel Body sends the line at a perfect angle towards the first guide. During the cast, the line glides over the edge of the aluminum AR-C spool, where there is absolutely minimal friction. The result is brilliant casting at such an affordable price.
