Shimano Ultegra 5500 XTD and XSD Reels
Shimano Ultegra 5500 XTD and XSD reels lead sales in Big Pit/Surfcasting/Carpfishing and have held this position for many years. The compact 5500 models stand out as the best in their category, offering an exceptional balance of value, performance, and credibility.
The Ultegra 5500 XTD is a worthy choice for anglers exploring smaller carp waters. Its compact size and discreet finish make it an ideal choice, perfectly balancing lighter rods, especially for short models ranging from 9 to 11 feet, which are gaining popularity. It's also ideal for specialized river rods when fishing for barbel with heavy leads and baits. On the other hand, if you're looking for a long-range surfcasting reel with a compact size to balance a light surfcasting rod in the 80-120g casting range, the silver Ultegra XSD is the right choice. It will improve your casting distance without overloading your rods.
The combination of Shimano's high-quality construction and X-SHIP technology ensures the smooth performance characteristic of Ultegra XTD/XSD reels. With hundreds of thousands in use across Europe, this reel demonstrates its longevity. Casting performance is maximized with the parallel body design and slow oscillation. Additionally, to facilitate use, the 5500 model is equipped with Instant Drag, allowing for a quick switch from free spool to fishing action. This makes reel locking easier for long-range casting in the surf.
