SHIMANO SPEEDMASTER XSD

Shimano

<p>The new Shimano SpeedMaster XTD 14000 is a feature-packed carp reel for increased durability and performance to chase target species in carp fishing and debut many technologies handed down from premium carp and surf reels. An ultra-stiff CI4+ body reduces flex and provides a lightweight yet solid foundation for improved cold-forged HAGANE gear mesh for long-lasting smoothness and durability. The SpeedMaster XTD 14000 incorporates RigidCast technology to withstand the impact of extreme casting force by minimizing spool oscillation motion and main shaft and body flex during the initial moments of casting. The result: increased casting distance and accuracy. To create a quieter and smoother winding experience, Shimano has incorporated SilentDrive technology into the SpeedMaster XTD 14000 to remove unnecessary noise and vibration.</p>

<p>Ultegra XTE and XSE are based on Shimano's best-selling models and are set to redefine the mid-range Big Pit reel market. Containing many of Shimano's leading "long cast" technologies, in sleek monochromatic bodies, these reels exceed expectations and are set to become best sellers across Europe. Only Shimano has the super slow swing, which is reason enough to buy the Ultegra XTE and XSE. But the reels pack an impressive array of the best technologies. These reels will not only allow you to cast further, but they are extremely powerful, will last longer and will look great on any rod you match them. If you are a carp angler and prefer dark "stealth" colors, choose the XTE, if you are a surfcaster or prefer lighter colors, the "silver" XSE will be your choice. Whatever your choice, you can be sure you've made a great decision. Hidden inside Ultegra's lightweight and stiff CI4 + body is a selection of Shimano's most advanced technology. HAGANE Gear and X-SHIP combine with Infinity Drive and Silent Drive to deliver extraordinary smoothness and light rotation. However, don't be fooled. Put the pressure on the Ultegra and it will produce all the power you need and more. And while the in-house engineering is a work of art, it is for the casting performance that you will buy this reel. Super Slow 5 Oscillation generates a flawless coil arrangement, which has been shown to reduce friction and increase launch potential. But there are other contributing features as well. Rigid Cast reduces the deflection of the spool upon release during a cast and the Parallel Body sends the line at the perfect angle towards the first ring. And as the line runs over the lip of the aluminum AR-C spool, the achievable casting distances will blow your mind.</p>

<p>The Beastmaster XC 14000 With features derived directly from more expensive Shimano models, such as Super Slow 5 oscillation and Parallel Body, the Beastmaster is an excellent medium to long distance casting reel. With a name like Beastmaster you can be sure that this large, durable reel will meet your expectations. Offering excellent value for money, if you're new to long distance fishing, or want a second reel for carp or surf fishing, the Beastmaster is the right choice. While not high-end, the Beastmaster certainly has eye-catching cosmetics, with the same G Free Body silhouette as Shimano's flagship reels. The Super Slow 5 swing and Parallel Body help maximize casting distance, regardless of your experience or ability. Even though the Beastmaster is Shimano's cheapest reel, it still packs a good amount of advanced technology. The Super Slow 5 oscillation line-lay is still the default line-lay by which other reels are judged, and the AR-C spool design is exactly the same profile found on the best long-range Shimano reels. Both of these features help increase casting distance. During use you will appreciate the fluidity and power of the HAGANE gear, while the 4.3:1 gear ratio, with 103cm of line per turn of the handle, ensures that the Beastmaster is equally good at retrieving quickly as for throwing. For better fishing action, thanks to the Instant Drag it is possible to quickly adjust the maximum drag of 20 kg with a single turn of the clutch wing nut, to always have direct control.</p>
