Carp Reel Shimano ULTEGRA 5500 XTD

SHIMANO ULTEGRA 5500 XTD / XSD

The Shimano Ultegra 5500 XTD and XSD are among the most popular Big Pit and surfcasting reels in Europe, having proven their reliability and performance over the years. The compact 5500 size offers an excellent balance between power, casting distance, and ease of use.

The Ultegra 5500 XTD, with its dark "stealth" design, will especially appeal to carp anglers who fish in smaller waters or use shorter carp rods. This reel perfectly balances with 9-11 ft rods, which are becoming increasingly popular in mobile carp fishing.

Meanwhile, the Ultegra 5500 XSD, with its silver/gunmetal finish, is also an excellent choice for lighter surfcasting. It pairs well with lighter sea rods in the 80-120g casting range and helps achieve great casting distances.
