Shimano - Ultegra Reel - 3500 XSEC

The Ultegra XTE and XSE are based on Shimano’s best selling models and are set to redefine the mid-priced long range reel market. Containing many of Shimano’s leading ‘long cast’ technologies, in sleek monochromatic bodies, these reels exceed expectations and are set to become best sellers throughout Europe. Only Shimano has Super Slow Oscillation, which is reason enough for you to buy the Ultegra XTE and XSE. But consider all of the other technologies contained in these long range superstars and they are impossible to ignore. Not only will these reels enable you to cast further, they will also play fish better, last longer and look great on whatever rod you pair them with. If you are a carp angler and prefer dark ‘stealth-like’ colours go for the XTE, if you are a surfcaster, or prefer lighter colours, the ‘silver’ XSE should be your choice. Whichever you choose, you can be sure that you have made a great decision. Hidden inside the lightweight, rigid, CI4+ body of the Ultegra is a selection of Shimano’s most advanced technology. HAGANE Gear and X-SHIP combine with Infinity Drive and Silent Drive to deliver amazing smoothness and lightweight rotation. However, don’t be fooled. Put the Ultegra under pressure and it will produce all of the power you need, and more. And whilst the internal engineering is a work of art, it’s the casting performance that you will be buying this reel for. The Super Slow 5 Oscillation generates amazingly smooth line lay that is proven to reduce friction and increase casting potential. But there are other features that contribute too. Rigid Cast reduces spool deflection at the moment of release during a cast and Parallel Body sends the line at the perfect angle towards the first guide. And as the line flows over the lip of the aluminium AR-C spool it ‘coils down’ to reduce friction. The result is casting brilliance never seen at such an affordable price.


Features:

Hagane Gear:
- The Hagane Drive Gear Is Produced By Shimano’S Coldforging Technology, Without The Need For Additional Machining. This Delivers A Longlasting Smoothness, Strength, Lightness And Power At The Very Heart Of The Reel. Traditional Diecast, Machined Gears Are Less Durable Under Heavy Loads.

Infinitydrive:
- Infinitydrive Technology Is An Advanced Structure That Produces Lower Friction And Lighter Winding. Pinion Gear Is Supported By The Spool Shaft Instead Of The Pinion Gear Bearing On The Spool Side. Rotational Resistance Of The Gear Section Has Been Reduced Without Compromising Gear Strength,

Rigid Cast:
- Optimally Balanced Design Of Rigidity And Lightness. By Minimizing Deflection Of The Reel Caused By Large Impacts During Casting, The Timing Of Release Is Stabilized. As A Result, Not Only Flying Distance But Also Accuracy Is Improved.

Silentdrive:
- The Basic Design Of The Entire Body And Drive-Related Parts Were Reviewed One By One To Reduce Minute Rattles, Gaps, And Shaking Between Parts Down To The Smallest Detail. It Provides Smooth And Quiet Reel Rotation.

Parellel Body:
- Parellel Body Is Designed To Improve Dynamic Line Flow From The Reel. On Many Reels The Spool Is Aligned Slightly Upwards Towards The Rod Blank, But Reels With Parellel Body Have The Spool Located Parallel To The Blank. The Result: Less Line Slapping On The Blank As It Travels Towards The First Guide During The Cast, Ultimately Increasing Performance.

Super Slow 10:
- Super-Slow Oscillation, Which Rewinds The Line About 100 Turns Per Spool Reciprocation. This Reduces Discharge Resistance When Casting And Increases Casting Distance.

Ar-C Spool:
- The Spool Has A Special Spool Ring Shape. This Creates A Rectifying Effect On The Line And Realizes Both Suppression Of Line Trouble And Long Casting Performance.

Ci4+:
- Ci4 Is A Resin Material Reinforced With Carbon Fiber That Is Lighter And Has A Higher Strength Than Conventional Resin Material. Ci4+ Is An Advanced Version Of The Original Ci4 Material.The Rigidity And Durability Have Been Greatly Improved From Original Ci4 Material While Maintaining The Lightness Of The Material, Making It Possible To Reduce The Size And Weight Of The Reel.

Instant Drag:
- Instant Drag Allows The Drag Setting To Be Switched From Free Spool To A ´Fight´ Setting By Tightening The Instant Drag Lever On The Front Of The Spool In Only A Few Turns.

Sa-Rb:
- S A-Rb Bearings Are Put Through The Same Process As Shimano’S A-Rb Bearings But Feature Shields On Both Sides Of The Bearings. These Shields Reduce The Possibility Of Salt Or Sand Inhibiting The Rotation Of The Bearing.
