The Ultegra XTD SPOD is a new big pit reel, specially designed for spodding / marker work. It’s based on the successful Ultegra XTD 14000 carp reel and has similar features except it has been adjusted to be perfect for spodding.

Retrieve speed: 124 cm instead of 103 cm per winch.
Line clips: 3 instead of 1.
Handleknob: Egg type instead of T-type for more grip.
