I’ve used the Ultegra XSE on multiple surf trips along the Outer Banks. The casting distance is noticeably better than my previous reel. The line lay is smooth and consistent, even in choppy conditions. It handles heavy fish well and feels solid in the hand.

Great for surf anglers who need reliable performance. The Infinity Drive makes retrieving line much easier. A bit heavier than other reels, but worth it for the precision and durability.

Used it during a long session at Montauk. The Super Slow 5 Oscillation helped me cast accurately with swimbaits. No line tangles, and it holds up well in saltwater exposure.
