Unleash Maximum Distance Beyond the Breakers
When distance is the single factor between reaching feeding fish and coming home empty-handed, the Shimano Ultegra XR 14000 XSD delivers unmatched casting range and structural strength. Designed specifically for surf casting and carp angling applications, this big-pit reel packs flagship technologies from Shimano's premier surf lineup into a lightweight, saltwater-ready chassis.
The secret to its extreme range lies in the combination of Super Slow 5 Oscillation and the AR-C Spool design, which winds line in ultra-dense, perfectly parallel coils. This dramatically reduces line friction during the cast, allowing braid and monofilament to flow off the spool with near-zero resistance.
Key Features & Technologies
-
Ci4+ Body Construction: High-rigidity carbon composite material keeps total reel weight remarkably low, maximizing tip speed during aggressive power casts.
-
Hagane Gear & InfinityXross: Cold-forged metal drive gear paired with redesigned gear tooth geometry doubles drive-train durability and distributes load evenly under extreme resistance.
-
Super Slow 5 Oscillation: Precision slow winding places 50 wraps of line per spool cycle, creating flawless line lay that minimizes casting friction for maximum distance.
-
Rigidity Support Drag & Hi-Speed Drag: Eliminates spool deflection during heavy drag runs and allows instant transition from free-spool to full drag lock with a fraction of a turn.
-
X-Protect Water Resistance: Labyrinth water-repellent sealing protects the line roller and inner body mechanism against saltwater intrusion and sand without increasing rotational drag.
-
Parallel Body Design: Aligns the spool parallel to the rod blank to prevent line slap against the guide train during high-speed casts.
