Shimano Ultegra 14000 XSD Reel

The Shimano Ultegra 14000 XSD Reel is a high-performance, long-distance casting reel designed for serious anglers targeting large fish in both freshwater and saltwater environments. With advanced Shimano technologies, the Ultegra 14000 XSD offers impressive casting distances, powerful drag performance, and excellent durability. It’s ideal for anglers who enjoy surf casting, carp fishing, or offshore fishing for big game species.

Key Features of the Shimano Ultegra 14000 XSD Reel:

• X-Ship Technology: The X-Ship system improves the reel's gear alignment by supporting the pinion gear with bearings. This reduces friction, enhances power transmission, and provides a smoother retrieval, especially under heavy load, ensuring superior performance when battling large fish.

• Super Slow Oscillation: The Super Slow Oscillation ensures an even line lay, which minimizes friction and improves casting distance and accuracy. This technology creates a smoother retrieve, reducing the risk of tangles, especially when using braided lines.

• Long Stroke Spool: The Long Stroke Spool design allows for longer casting distances with reduced friction during the cast. This is particularly useful for anglers targeting distant fish in surf, beach, or offshore fishing environments.

• Cold Forged Aluminium Spool: The Cold Forged Aluminium Spool is lightweight yet incredibly durable. The design enhances casting performance and strength, allowing the reel to handle large fish with ease while offering excellent line management.

• Instant Drag: The Instant Drag system provides ultra-smooth and rapid drag adjustment with just a turn of the knob. This is particularly useful when you need to quickly adjust your drag to accommodate sudden runs or changes in pressure when fighting big fish.

• Hagane Gear: Shimano's Hagane Gear system offers high rigidity and durability, ensuring smooth gear engagement and long-lasting performance even under heavy usage. The cold-forged gears provide smoothness and strength, perfect for demanding fishing conditions.

• S ARB Bearings: The S A-RB (Shimano Anti-Rust Bearings) are designed to provide smooth and corrosion-resistant performance in both saltwater and freshwater conditions. These bearings enhance the reel’s longevity by reducing the effects of rust and wear.

• Parallel Body Design: The Parallel Body Design ensures optimal line management, preventing line twist and improving the reel’s performance over time. This also contributes to better casting distance and fewer tangles.

• Powerful Drag System: The Ultegra 14000 XSD features a powerful drag system that delivers smooth and consistent drag pressure, ideal for battling large fish over long periods without compromising performance.

• Large Capacity: With a larger spool capacity (14000 size), this reel can hold a substantial amount of line, making it ideal for long-range fishing or targeting species that require long runs, such as carp, surfcasting species, or offshore pelagic fish.
