Shimano Alivio XT-A Reel

Possibly the best entry level big pit reel, the Shimano Alivio XT-A Reel is a fully fledged big pit at a budget price.

Featuring Varispeed line lay as standard and coupled with a cold forged Aluminium AR-C spool for improved casting potential, the Shimano Alivio XT-A reel punches well above its price tag.

Baitrunner Spool II is standard - the most affordable reel in our range to have this proven facility which is perfect for carp angling. With a 4.9:1 gear ratio the line retrieve is superb and the large T shaped crank handle grip makes playing large fish at range or retrieving spods much less effort. Ideal for anglers on a budget who need to fish at range and use larger diameter lines in order to get the bigger fish out.
