Product Information
The Shimano Ultegra CI4+ 5500 XSC is a mini big pit reel for fishing anywhere from canals to gravel pits. It pairs with rods from compact 10ft TX2 models up to 12ft TX5s, and the CI4+ body material keeps its weight down to 440g.
Cold-forged Hagane gearing sits inside, and the Parallel Body helps with distance casting. A direct-drive handle removes play from the handle, a feature Shimano keeps for its high-end reels, and a high-speed drag is fitted.
Super Slow 5 oscillation lays the line, and the reel retrieves 105cm of line per turn of the handle. The spool holds 390m of 0.30mm line, 290m of 0.35mm or 200m of 0.40mm.
