Shimano Power Aero XSB Reel

The Shimano Power Aero Big Pit reel, comes in an elegant darkish and silverish version, an eye-catching reel for the Carp and Surf angler.

Packed with technological features like strong Hagane Gear and Hagane Body, X-Ship, one-piece bail, and the new X-Protect this reel is designed to last for many years, like a true workhorse.

The reel has a relatively small body which gives the reel a compact feel. The Parallel Body feature is added to increase casting distance and accuracy, by eliminating line slap during the cast. The Parallel Body, in combination with the superb line-lay of the Super Slow 5 system, will make sure that you can always cast your baits right there where you want them.

The Shimano Power Aero XSB is equipped with the new Hi-Speed drag, which is even faster than Instant Drag, enables the angler to switch instantly from Freespool mode to Fight mode by only a very small turn of the drag knob.

Also in the packaging you will find an extra spool and six sets of the Shimano Spool Economizers, in three sizes, namely: 10000, 6000 and 3500. The Spool Economizers reduce the line capacity of the reel. This way you can quickly adopt in any situation and create the best set-up with the right number of meters of line.

G Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity, closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler’s hand, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

Parallel Body is designed to improve dynamic line flow from the reel. On many reels, the spool is aligned slightly upwards towards the rod blank, but reels with Parallel Body have the spool located parallel to the blank. The result: less line slapping on the blank as it travels towards the first guide during the cast, ultimately increasing performance.

Hi-Speed Drag is the fastest drag function ever featured on a Shimano reel: A minimal turn on the drag knob will transition the drag settings from free-spool mode to fight mode
