Something special was needed to replace the record-breaking Aero Technium XT and XTA reels, and Shimano's engineers have produced exactly that with the all-new 12000 XT-B.

A visual delight in gunmetal grey with gold inset detail studding its Cold Forged Aluminium spools.

A single spin of the handle with its black hardwood grip will give any angler a sense of the strength and smoothness provided by the hidden technology, including 7 Shielded A-RB bearings.

Baitrunner Spool ll allows instant resistance free line yield on a take, while Slow Speed Oscillation plus Aero Wrap deliver it all back to perfection.
