Shimano Cardiff XR Reel

Shimano Cardiff XR Reel

The Cardiff XR is a next-generation reel designed for trout fishing. Combining classic design with minimal weight, it perfectly complements Shimano trout rods and also features an extremely precise drag system when using thin main lines. Thanks to its round cork handle and deep green pearlescent finish, this reel stands out visually from other reels.

The very low start-up resistance allows for precise bait control, and with its ultra-fine front drag, line breaks are a thing of the past. As you would expect from a Shimano spinning reel, the Cardiff XR impresses with an impressive range of exclusive cutting-edge technologies. The lightweight CI4+ body with G-FREE design ensures optimal balance when using ultra-light rods. Inside, Hagane Gear, X-Ship, Micro Module II, and Silent Drive provide smooth and efficient rotation with extremely low inertia thanks to the latest generation MGL rotors.

This results in a noticeable advantage in precise control of the smallest lures. Special felt washers in the precise drag system are tailor-made for fine line fishing techniques, making the Cardiff XR the perfect reel for trout fishing.
