The NEW Ultegra | Upgrade from XTD to XTE! | Shimano Tribal Europe 

Changed the design to look like cheapo sonik reels. Nice

Ok what are the upgrade from the XTD to the XTE?

Isn't the xtd supposed to be the superior reel?

Camp must be delicious overthere....

Shimano makes good, high-quality and high-performance reels. But Shimano still does not realize that in fact from all these top technologies and features, considered by them, 3 are missing and the most important of all considered by fishermen. 1. BAITRUNNER LC = Of all the evolution of Carp reels, Big Pit, Surfcasting, Specimen, etc. and besides all the features developed over the years, the Baitrunner LC is and has been the most reliable and beneficial feature possible. With Baitrunner feature, gives us the advantage to set the front drag torque of the line only once at the beginning of fishing match and it can remain set for the entire fishing match. And when engaged, the spool will release the line as it was set until we pick up the rod and turn the handle, which instantly engages the front drag and enables to continue the fight. But without the Baitrunner, we would have to set the front Drag on every rod, at every cast, which becomes a waste of time, unpleasant, disgusting and even annoying especially in a competition fishing where every minute counts. In conclusion, a reel without Baitrunner, can be Big Pit, Carp, Surfcasting, Specimen, etc. is actually considered just a spinning reel but little bigger, NOT a Carp reel. 2. Bail Arm = At many of reels, especially at Carp reels, the Bail Arm NO longer triggers automatically when we turn the handle. With manual triggers, this is extremely unpleasant and is becoming more and more disgusting. 3. Big Pit Spool = Besides to the 14000 Spool, Shimano could make a reel version on the same model, with the same features and with a 5500 Spool the same as at Ultegra Ci4+ model. The 5500 Spool is enough for any style of fishing. What can we expect in the future, a bicycle frame, without rubber on the rear rim, pedaling in drill? 14000 Spool is actually a true crane NOT a reel, to be honest. We still need a chassis to replace the rods and we will fish with construction equipment. If Shimano implemented a version with Baitrunner on Ultegra Ci4+ 5500 and 14000 and Baitrunner and a 5500 Spool on Aero Technium MGS and Power Aero reels, again with automatic release of the Bail Arm when we turn the handle, we can say again that Shimano offer a large range of Carp reels for all the fishing style. Daiwa takes care of these aspects and actually offers fishermen more than 10 Baitrunner reels, of which at least 7 are Long Cast and all with automatic release of the Bail Arm when we turn the handle. For this reason, Shimano lost and continues to lose a lot front of Daiwa if them does not take these aspects into account.

Major difference is the D for the E....

Are these an upgrade on the Ci4+ reels ?

will the role also be available in size 5500?

May I ask....... How do yo7 get to chat or talk yo folk at shimano.....? I want to get my boiler arms black and wondering if there is a possibility to buy black bail arms for the 550xtds..... can swap them as I love them 😍

Nice

How much is the Shimano Tribal TX 5 and Ultegra 14000 XTD

Po co zmieniać coś co już jest PERFEKCYJNE 🇵🇱👍

Great reel from what i could see of it terrible video tho would think someone would have made a tiny bit of effort ridiculous.

로드는어디껀가요?

5500 size new XTE ?!..., still nobody knows?!

So .. nothing about 5500 xte .. 🤔 right now u can choose the ci4 5500 xtc overpriced or the 5500 xtd 🤭 (a fail generation) and no 5500 xte .. somewere in the middle .

The txd was crap had 2 brand new within 6 months sounded like a mixer

You used to be a Mercedes... I hope my CI4+ will last as BBRLC were.

Shimano have really lost there way in the last few years with carp reels. You used to make some the best reels available. These ultegra’s are horrible looking just like the last lot . Same goes for the power Aeros poor quality line guards keep breaking. You can now pick up much better looking and equally as good reels for half the price of a shimano. You need to make a decent technium in 5500 size . Not the horrible looking ones that are out now .
