Surf casters demand versatility and durability from their tackle. Whether throwing giant swimbaits from the rocks along the Cape Cod Canal, slinging eels in the surf in the shadow of Montauk Light, or launching chunks past the third breaker on the Outer Banks, anglers require that every piece of equipment helps them cast farther, fish longer and fight tougher. Shimano leverages over a century of design and manufacturing excellence in crafting the new Ultegra XSE spinning reel, providing peak performance in every situation and exceeding the expectations of the most passionate surf casters.
Exclusive technologies within Ultegra XSE help surf anglers cast farther and fight tougher. Ultegra XSE features Shimano’s Super Slow 5 Oscillation, which minimizes line friction by reducing oscillation speed, increasing casting distance and accuracy. Now, previously unreachable fish are well within range. Shimano’s Infinity Drive technology makes its debut in the surf reel category within Ultegra XSE. Infinity Drive features a unique low-friction bushing that significantly decreases frictional resistance and provides up to 30% more winding power under load. A proprietary surface treatment on the main shaft coupled with special processing dramatically reduces rotational resistance, yielding a reel that can actively wind even under heavy loads, helping surf casting anglers combat stubborn game fish.
