{"product_id":"shimano-ultegra-ci4-5500-xtc","title":"Shimano Ultegra CI4+ 5500 XTC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ultegra CI4 has long been lauded as one of the best value for money reels on the market. Nestled in the middle of the Shimano big pit line up it strikes a comfortable balance between superb performance, modern looks and an affordable cost.\u003cbr\u003eA long-standing favourite of many Team Tribal members the Ultegra CI4 really pushed the standards of what should be available to the angler at this price point. CI4 body and rotor for strength and lightness, X protect to protect from water ingress and super slow 5 oscillation for unrivalled line lay are just a few features that set this Ultegra CI4 apart from its competitors.\u003cbr\u003eThe small and compact 5500 size is ideal for those anglers who don’t need to cast extreme distances and can benefit from smaller lightweight reel for added finesse and feel during the cast and retrieve. The 5500 model is also ideally suited to medium to long range feeder fishing with almost all of the Shimano Aero team opting for this reel as their tool of choice for their long range work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 ball bearings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 Roller bearing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAero Wrap II.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eX-Ship system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 speed oscillation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh Speed Drag.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHagane Cold Forged Gears.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpare spool.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 line reducers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRatio 5.3:1.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight 440g.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLine capacity (approx) = 230yds of 16lb (210m of 0.40mm) line.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Shimano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":62463862440323,"sku":"ULTCI45500XTC","price":229.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/7562\/files\/ultegra_ci4_5500_xtc_1.jpg?v=1787823575","url":"https:\/\/www.banksidetackle.co.uk\/products\/shimano-ultegra-ci4-5500-xtc","provider":"Bankside Tackle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
