The Reel

The Shimano Ultegra 14000XSC surf reel is based on Shimano’s best selling models and are set to redefine the mid-priced long range reel market. Containing many of Shimano’s leading ‘long cast’ technologies, in sleek monochromatic bodies, these reels exceed expectations. Only Shimano has Super Slow Oscillation, which is reason enough for you to buy the Ultegra XSE.

Also consider all of the other technologies contained in these long range superstars and they are impossible to ignore. Not only will these reels enable you to cast further, they will also play fish better, last longer and look great on whatever rod you pair them with.  

Features:

• PARELLEL BODY is designed to improve dynamic line flow from the reel. On many reels the spool is aligned slightly upwards towards the rod blank, but reels with PARELLEL BODY have the spool located parallel to the blank. The result: less line slapping on the blank as it travels towards the first guide during the cast, ultimately increasing performance.
• SUPER SLOW 10
  Super-slow oscillation, which rewinds the line about 100 turns per spool reciprocation. This reduces discharge resistance when casting and increases casting distance.
• AR-C SPOOL
  The spool has a special spool ring shape. This creates a rectifying effect on the line and realizes both suppression of line trouble and long casting performance.
• CI4 is a resin material reinforced with carbon fiber that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material.The rigidity and durability have been greatly improved from original CI4 material while maintaining the lightness of the material, making it possible to reduce the size and weight of the reel.
• INSTANT DRAG allows the drag setting to be switched from free spool to a ‘fight’ setting by tightening the INSTANT DRAG lever on the front of the spool in only a few turns.
• S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the rotation of the bearing.
