Shimano SpeedMaster XTC Surf Spinning Reels

The Shimano SpeedMaster XTC Surf Spinning Reel is a high-performance workhorse reel built to provide surf anglers with advanced long cast capabilities at an incredible value. Loaded with signature Shimano technologies and sleek matte black cosmetics, the SpeedMaster is equipped with X-Ship technology for improved gear durability and a stacked Hi-Speed Drag system capable of putting the brakes on trophy fish in the surf. At the heart of the SpeedMaster’s long cast capabilities is Shimano’s Super Slow Oscillation system that ensures optimal line lay to maximize casting distance.
Shimano Technology Found In SpeedMaster XTC Surf Spinning Reels :

• X-Ship – By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear remains in precise alignment with the drive gear and stays in the same position under even the heaviest of loads. This eliminates friction between the spool shaft and gear which translates to better casting performance and increased gear durability.
• G-Free Body – G-Free Body technology enables the reel?s center of gravity to be moved closer to the center of the reel seat, and therefore the anglers hand position. This shift in weight and balance helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.
• Super Slow Oscillation – Allows for exceptional line lay and casting distance by reducing the speed the line travels up and down the spool on the cast. This results in less friction as line leaves the spool which improves both distance and accuracy.
