Shimano Speedmaster XTC reels

The Speedmaster XTC/XSC offer excellent value for money and are the perfect reels for anglers who are approaching carp fishing and surfcasting. Containing features taken directly from more expensive Shimano models, such as Super Slow 5 oscillation, the reels visually match the latest trends in their selected disciplines perfectly.

If you're the type of angler who recognizes a great combination of value, quality and performance, you'll be immediately drawn to the Speedmaster models. With the same G Free Body silhouette as many of Shimano's leading reels and trendy understated colours, the Speedmaster certainly looks good. And they don't disappoint in use. With flagship features such as Super Slow 5 Oscillation and Aero Wrap line lay, these reels allow you to get the most out of your casting technique and with X-SHIP gearing technology they are silky smooth, even under pressure. A great choice for anglers of all abilities.

It's really hard to fault Speedmaster reels. They have inherited many of the flagship features used by Shimano's leading Big Pit reels. For example, the Super Slow 5 oscillation is used on all reels up to the Power Aero, as well as the G Free Body, Parallel Body and cold forged aluminum AR-C spool. Also sold a set of reducers. When it comes to fighting fish, X-SHIP technology optimizes spooling efficiency and Instant Drag allows for super-fast drag adjustment to control fish with minimal effort. All in all, while the Speedmaster offers remarkable value, it still maintains the credibility of its more expensive cousins.
