Just ordered three of these badboys to replace my 8010gt ones. It's about time I had some new ones. Those old 8010s have done me well. Also order from Angling Direct!
Why they don’t tell you how much line capacity with the different reductions?? That would be so helpful..! I’m getting crazy on how much of 0.35mm line I can have with the 10000 and the 3500 reductions..
Hi Peter, The Shimano XTE’s and other high end Shimano carp reels have manual bail arms. This is to avoid the bail arm closing mid cast. Your Reels are fine 😊
Hi Stuart, The Ultegra XTE is quite a big reel. If you have an AD store nearby the staff would be happy for you to try the reels on your 10ft rods. The Ultegra XTD in 5500 would be the perfect match. www.anglingdirect.co.uk/shimano-ultegra-xtd-reel?queryID=330f3cb96b1e204b73bfa3eccc3ec82a&objectID=55741&indexName=live_ad_uk_products Hope this helps?
Hi Matthew, the Ultegra 14000 XTE are quite a large reel for a 10ft rod. The Ultegra 5500 XTD are still available and would be a better balanced reel for 10 foot rods. You best option would be to take your rods to you local Angling Direct store and ask if you could try the reels on your rods. www.anglingdirect.co.uk/shimano-ultegra-xtd-reel?queryID=c390a91ef0c556f0485a2ace08a3d57b&objectID=55741&indexName=live_ad_uk_products
I've always had shimanos they have never let me down.
Shimano certainly know how to make quality reels 💪

You won't be disapointed Danny, They are lovely reels. Your 8010 GT's must of been 20 years old?
@@AnglingDirectTV they were! Kept me well and in great nick, just a different world these new ones and the modern day tech! Looking forward to them!
I've just ordered myself cha

Shimano Ultegra xte or Okuma Obsidian?
What you end up getting
I want to know as well
I wish you'd put the price in at the end of every blog it makes life easier. 😕
My thoughts exactly.
Must be embarrassed to with the price of tackle these days🤷🏽
190 € in croatia
£180. at Angling direct. Just been on their Web site in Nottingham.
Not to hard to look it up yourself. £180 not a bad price
When is 5500 available ?
Hi Levent, no news on a 5500 as yet. But if Shimano do release one we will let you know.
@@AnglingDirectTVany update here ?!

My bail arm don’t close when turning handle . Is this broken?

@@AnglingDirectTVthanks fella 👍
What is the difference between the XSE and XTE 14000’s?
Hi James,
The XSE is more popular with sea anglers. It has a shallow spool suited for braided mainline.
Ok but do they both have XProtect cause I just recently purchased XTE 14000 reel but not sure if it’s suitable for beach fishing here in Australia?
Would you say these will balance ok on a 10ft rod?
Hi Stuart,
The Ultegra XTE is quite a big reel. If you have an AD store nearby the staff would be happy for you to try the reels on your 10ft rods.
The Ultegra XTD in 5500 would be the perfect match.

@@AnglingDirectTVdoes a 10ft rod warrant big pits? What’s roughly the max distance you can cast with a rod that size
@AnglingDirectTv will they not make a 5500 XTE
Will these be ok on ten foot rods
