 The Ultegra CI4+ 5500 has a lightweight, compact body and a long-cast spool. The SuperSlow 5 oscillation lays line evenly and increases casting distance. The price of the Ultegra CI4+ 5500 is $319. 

 Shimano Aero Technium XSC features Shimano X-Ship gearing for smoothness and efficiency. This reel also features super slow oscillation for outstanding line lay and propulsion line management system for great castability. This is the ultimate surf casting reel with Aero Wrapp II, Instant Drag, and CF Gear technologies.

  • X-Ship: Positioning the pinion gear close to the center line of the large diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor, the pinion gear is supported by 2 Shimano A-RB roller bearings to create more stability
  • Aero Wrap II: is a worm gear oscillation system with specially designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds. This provides great uniform line lay to reduce loss of energy during the cast
