The Ultegra XR XTD is the flagship of Shimano's popular Ultegra Big-Pit reel family. Equipped with the latest long-range casting technology, including Rigid Cast, this super-lightweight 14000ér Big-Pit reel has been developed for long-range casting.

The Ultegra XR XTD is positioned in the mid-price segment and offers excellent value for money. A glance at the specifications clearly shows that this is a high-quality and serious long-range big pit reel. With a discreet design, a large spool, a compact body made of Ci4+ composite material and some of Shimano's best long-casting technologies, the Ultegra XR XTD definitely doesn't fall short when it comes to features. In use, its low weight has an absolutely positive effect, especially when the casting distance is pushed to the limit. The reel's low weight is an absolute advantage in use, especially when the casting distance is pushed to the limit. In addition, the low weight of the reel allows the rod tip to be accelerated more during the cast, which in combination with the other long-range technologies from Shimano, such as Rigid Cast, further optimizes the casting distance.
Inside the lightweight Ci4+ G FREE body is a combination of HAGANE Gear, X-SHIP, INFINITY DRIVE and SILENT DRIVE, which ensures smooth and powerful rotation even when the gear is subjected to heavy loads during the fight. In addition, Shimano's long-range technologies, such as Super Slow 5 Oscillation, Parallel Body and Rigid Cast, ensure greater casting distance and maximum precision. To ensure consistent performance in all weather conditions, the X-Protect technology prevents water from penetrating the moving parts of the reel. The Ultegra XR is also equipped with a Hi-Speed Drag, which can be locked or released with a minimal turn of the brake knob to maintain control at all times during the fight.
