Offering exceptional value for money, the Aerlex XTB/XSB is a great reel for those new to carp fishing or surfcasting, or for those looking for a spare backup reel. Whichever model you choose, you can be sure that the high build quality associated with Shimano, combined with two stainless steel ball bearings and an additional roller bearing, will provide excellent performance in every fishing situation.
Although not as large as the specialist 14000 size reels, the 10000 size of the Aerlex is certainly big enough to be classified as a Big-Pit reel. The Aero Wrap line lay and an AR-C spool increase casting performance. In use, the XTB and XSB versions have a powerful 4.6:1 gear ratio, which retrieves 100 cm of line per handle turn.
