The Ultegra 5500 XT-B has come to answer the prayers of not just carpers alone, but also Surf, Pike, Barbel, Zander and Salmon fishing fanatics. This little big pit reel has masses of attitude, enough to deal with any of its big pit rivals. Featuring an incredibly lightweight biomechanical handle, Baitrunner Spool System II, and 2-Speed Oscillation plus Aero Wrap giving perfect line lay and smooth clutch operation. At home in the hands of long range casters, and with the addition of
a new cold forged AR-C spool and 4 Shielded A-RB + 1 Roller Bearings, those out of reach areas are now a thing of the past.
Using AR-C spool technology producing an angled front spool lip, coil diameter on the cast is reduced, vastly reducing lost energy through larger coils of line entering the guides. With a retrieve rate of over one meter of line per handle crank, light work is made of retrieving the line over the extra distances this reel is capable of. 1 spare aluminium AR-C spool is supplied as standard.
