If you have a well developed, powerful casting technique and are looking for extreme casting performance, the Ultegra XR Surf is a sensational option. Built using some of the most advanced carbon technology available, the extra fast action has incredible tip recovery and efficiently converts your casting power into tip speed, launching leads massive distances. Available in many different options, whichever Ultegra XR Surf you choose you can be sure that you will be maximising your long range casting potential.

The extreme long range casting performance of the Ultegra XR Surf is generated by combining a selection of SHIMANO’S advanced carbon technologies. The High Modulus Full Carbon blank also contains exclusive Spiral X and Hi-Power X which noticeably reduces blank twist when under pressure and increases tip recovery as the lead is released. Available in many variations, including models with Fuji Lowrider Alconite guides and Fuji DPS reel seats, all rods have the Shimano Cast Control Grip to facilitate a strong hold with the bottom hand when casting.

Hi-Power X
Hi-Power X construction uses diagonally-wrapped carbon tape to form an array of "X" shapes on the rod blank's outermost layer. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. This manufacturing process allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control for the angler.
