Fishing Tackle Review: The Shimano Tribal Ultegra 5500 XTA Reel
Similar to many other fishermen, it pleasures me to hunt for gear and read information on it just as much as it does to go fishing. In the off-season, learning about what's new in fishing tackle becomes almost an obsession, but not quite! When I do find a rod or reel that suits me well, I like to share my thoughts with other fishermen. With that in mind, below is a concise overview on a reel that I’m really taken with: The Shimano Tribal Ultegra 5500 XTA.
About the Shimano Tribal Ultegra 5500 XTA Reel
The Ultegra 5500 XTA was first shown at a Shimano trade show, and is now a favourite. Although small, this is a perfect reel for larger carp, and other species as well. It is light weight too; it weighs merely 570 grams (prior to being wound on the line) plus it contains a baitrunner system. A baitrunner reel, by the way, is one that is identical to a fixed spool reel, with the exception that it's capable of baiting fish with the bail closed, whilst still having the reel completely in free spool mode. I've found this reel to be perfect for all distances, from short to quite long.
Major Parts of the Ultegra 5500 XTA
The first thing you notice about the Ultegra 5500 XTA is that it has a very unique look. It has a RealTree™ appearance. RealTree, I've learned, is the world's leading company for versatile and distinctive camouflage patterns, such as the popular Hardwoods™ finish on this reel. It is a convenient, trimmed down edition of a bit pit reel, making it a good alternative for countless fishermen. Although not a large size, it can cast vast distances and supplies exceptional line lay and ample control. The reel features two spools as well as a carrying case. Expect to pay around 189.99 for it.
Additional Information on the Shimano Ultegra Reel
The Shimano Ultegra reel contains a distinctive make up which has a smooth, contemporary design and a feeling of firmness. The ergonomics are excellent; thus, the fishing reel is extremely comfy to hold, even when it is a long-drawn-out period. Its casting distance is great. You can be anticipating a range of 100 to 120 yards, utilising 4 oz leads. The handle on the fishing reel is comfy and large because of the biomechanical design and style. It will crank approximately one yard of line for each turn. The baitrunner system is very easy to engage, requiring just an anticlockwise quarter turn of the outer drag knob to set it. I've found the clutch to be super-smooth, a feature that's quite important to me. There is also a washer set which makes it simple to personalise the taper of the line lay. Despite the fact that I’m normally not bothered with how a fishing reel looks, I must declare that the 5500 XTA is very eye-catching.
The Shimano Tribal Ultegra 5500 XTA fishing reel is going to make a fantastic addition to any fisherman’s array of fishing tackle.
