The powerful Shimano Speedmaster XTD Spin Reel receives major upgrades for 2023, optimising it for wrestling bulky fish from the surf and rocks. This specialised long-range casting reel features leading-edge Shimano technologies to help experienced anglers reach distant zones and subdue massive species.

At the heart of the enhancements is a lighter Hagane Ci4+ body, now weighing just 590g compared to 625g on the previous model. This featherweight feel significantly reduces fatigue when casting hefty bait rigs on long rods all day. Despite the lightweight build, extreme rigidity and cranking power remain uncompromised.

Inside, the unyielding Hagane gears provide remarkable durability against hard-pulling fish. Their precision meshing delivers smooth and efficient power transfer from handle to rotor. You’ll gain line relentlessly against bulldozing runs.

The new Silent Drive oscillation system, with super slow 5 oscillation, lays line evenly across the spool for flawless presentations on repeated maximum distance casts into the surf.

With a maximum of 20kg of smooth drag and a powerful 4.3:1 gear ratio producing 103cm of line retrieve per crank, the Shimano Speedmaster XTD Spin Reel has the brute strength and precision to wear out the toughest battlers. Its long-cast potential allows you to reach distant sandbars where specimen fish feed.
