Looking for a new spomb reel, any suggestions?

The Shimano Ultegra XTD looks decent at £99 but also looking at the XTE but at a significant price increase does it justify the price?

Or maybe something else?

The xte will be a better reel and can be bought for around 140 from Fishernator.The xte is made from ci4 material so will be stronger than the xtd.The carbon infused shimano's don't flex at the reelseat like non ci4 reels

Diawas newer model spod reel is a better reel the shimano spod reel. I have both. Worth paying extra for a reel that is a work horse and gets abuse.

Is the 2023 45mm spool model worth the money as an upgrade on the original emblem spod reel. Anyone had one for a while that can give a review?
Are you sure?
