Shimano Ultegra CI4+ XTC

The Ultegra Ci4+ XTC and XSC sit perfectly in the middle of Shimano’s Big Pit reel range and are available in 14000 and smaller 5500 sizes. The most striking feature of the Ultegra Ci4+, which is equipped with the latest long-casting technology, is its reduced weight, which helps to maximise the rod’s speed during long casts. The Ultegra Ci4+ is positioned in the mid-price range and offers excellent value for money. One glance is enough to see that this is a serious long-cast reel. With understated colours, a large spool, a compact Ci4+ composite body and some of Shimano’s best long-cast technologies, the Ultegra Ci4+ is well-equipped.

In use, you’ll appreciate its light weight, especially when pushing its maximum casting distance to the limit. The low weight allows for faster rod speeds, which, combined with other technologies, results in excellent casting distances. Inside the lightweight G FREE body lies a combination of HAGANE gearing and X-SHIP, which together ensure smooth and powerful rotation. X-Protect technology prevents water from entering the reel’s moving parts, ensuring the reel maintains its performance in all conditions. The Super Slow 5 Oscillation ensures an astonishingly smooth line lay, which has been proven to increase casting potential. Parallel Body technology ensures that the line leaves the AR-C spool at the perfect angle to the starter ring to minimise friction. The Ultegra Ci4+ is also equipped with a Hi-Speed Drag, which can be tightened or loosened with a minimal turn of the drag knob.
