I have recently purchased a set of Daiwa Emblem 35 SCWs and really don't like them so looking to sell and potentially replace with the above. No local shops have them in stock for me to look at so wondering if anyone has any experience with them before I buy and realise they are as poor as the Daiwas. The one thing I don't like is the huge line capacity, which is why I originally got the Emblems as come with the shallow spool, and searching I can't seem to find line reducers to fit this particular model, so as a second question, does anyone know may compatible products for this purpose?

The second hand ultegra xte I've seen for sale had the spool reducers included

Not advertised on the retailers I have been looking at and Googled for them and lots of options come up but nothing specifically for this model, but I appreciate some may be compatible

The ultegra 14000 xtd ones will more than likely fit if the reels don't come with them

The XTE come with 3 different reducers.

Do they come in the box as standard? Really not clear on any website I'm looking at

Cheers mate. I like the look of the reels but the description and info on them is very poor. Nothing mentioned about the reducers on any page, including Shimanos own page. Just deciding between these and the set in classifieds on here as definitely want to ditch the Emblems

I don't like the plastic line guard and the line is often getting wrapped underneath the spool which is frustrating, and also damaging the line. I'm also not a fan of the noises it makes (appreciate this is a Daiwa thing and it's not for me). Used Shimanos before as well as my Penns so thinking of going back to a mid range Shimano, as simply it seems to suit me better

I am using Shimano Ultegra 14000 XTE for the first time now and love them, great reels for the money.
