have three since the beginning of june, think shimano has never produced a better reel in this price segment. solid, no play on the parts, great clutch, light weight, nice looking, have the mgs and find the price compared to these obseen.

Thought the same when comparing the ci4 14000 to the tec but the tecs are different class, lighter, more bearings. Did notice these new ultegra xte don't have a waterproof drag.

How did you find them for loading line ?
Did you have to add any washers or do anything for the line lay ?
I am a long term Daiwa user however, I am considering these reels.

Used the 10000 spool reducers, line lay was fine no washers needed, hi-speed drag witch is OK.

Yeah, 'see it has the hi-speed drag, just wondered if they done the sensible thing and slowed it down a tad, as you can't play a fish on the last\current model.

Seems to me slower than the previous, more in line with QD from Daiwa.

Yes but mgs xtc where faster, slowed them down with felt washers, the mgs xtd are a bit slower, as are the xte.
