06/16 UPDATE: We've updated the choice for shipping insurance in your cart. There is now a drop down menu for your choice. See Shipping Insurance page for more info. USPS Ground Advantage is still the worst. Multiple broken rods and "lost" packages. Long packages (ove 30 inches) taking 6+ weeks in some cases and normal packages taking several days longer than normal. Our local postmaster has told us it's only going to get worse before it gets better which is not a good sign! If you choose USPS and we can send it FedEx for what was paid we are switching your shipping to FedEx. We always recommend FedEx. We get no more info than you within the USPS tracking system. Contact your local USPS Postmaster and they can place an internal trace that may give you more info and/or get the package moving. Unless you request additional insurance, packages are only insured for $100. If your package is delayed there is a "Missing Mail" on their website. To be 100% clear, once a package leaves our dock it is 100% control of the shipper.
The Ultegra 5500 XT-D is developed with the carp angler in mind and the new reel will immediatly catch the eye of the avid carp angler because of the improved matt black reel cosmetics. In addition to the new Ultegra reel itself the package is equipped with 1 extra spool and 4 line reducers (2x10.000/2x3.500). The extra spool in combination with the 4 line reducers gives the carp angler the opportunity to fish with different types of lines and respective line capacities according to the actual circumstances on the bank. The multi-disc Instant Drag facility enables a freespool to power setting in just half a turn of the front lever, making it suitable to instantly fight the carp that is on the other end of the line. Packed with unique features like X-Ship, Super Slow Oscillation 50, Aero Wrap II, and Instant Drag the carp angler can be confident to challenge the biggest and most sought after carps of all big lakes and rivers.
