Shimano Aero Technium 12000 XTC Long cast reel with free spool system

The Aero Technium 12000 XT-C features a lot of the same technology as the magnesium version and is an improved version of the popular XT-B version. Finished is stunning gloss black, the 'XT-C' has an alloy body which contains X-ship engineering, 7 Shielded A-RB bearings, plus a roller bearing. These combine to produce smooth, efficient and totally reliable fish-playing performance. The combination of the AR-C spool, Aero Wrap II and super slow oscillation (approximately 100 turns of line per full oscillation) produces the most perfect line lay which significantly reduces line drag on the cast and the Baitrunner II spool can be easily tightened down for distance casting to prevent 'spool slip' under extreme pressure. The XT-C also features a line guard for protection.
