shimano aero technium xt 10000

#1 Post by JOHN LYNCH »

has anyone seen or used one of these fixed spool reels. They are the top of the shimano fixed spool range . They have a RRP of aroung E400.

It holds the world record on the casting field for a fixed spool. Its trick is the super slow oscilation which lays 40 coils of line per one pass of the spool. It basically lays the line on very close and tight which means that when casting the line flows off with minimal friction resulting in extra distance.

If you have a fixed spool reel cound how many coils it lays per pass off the spool. I doubt it lays more that 10. 40 times is hard to believe ,it is some feat of engineering.
