The Ultegra XR Surf is a highly technical rod specifically designed for fishing at very long distances. It combines some of Shimano's most advanced carbon technologies with thoughtful profiles and high-quality components to maximize performance in terms of distance for anglers with very refined casting techniques. If you have developed a powerful casting technique and are looking for extreme casting performance, the Ultegra XR Surf is an essential choice. Made from the most technologically advanced carbon layers, the extra fast action of these rods provides exceptional blank responsiveness under load and converts the energy of your casts into speed, significantly increasing achievable distances. Available in many variations, you can be sure that whichever Ultegra XR Surf you choose, you will maximize your potential for long-distance casts. The extreme performance at long distances of the Ultegra XR Surf is achieved through the combination of a selection of advanced carbon technologies from Shimano. The high-modulus Full Carbon Blank also features the exclusive Spiral X and Hi-Power X technologies, which significantly reduce the blank's torsion under tension and increase the tip's speed during casting. Available in many variants, some of which are equipped with Fuji Lowrider Alconite guides and Fuji DPS reel seats, all rods come with the Shimano Cast Control Grip to facilitate handling with the second hand during casting.
