Shimano’s Ultegra 14000 XSD
The Ultegra 14000 XSD offers very substantial line capacities for mono or braid. Therefore, again makes it the perfect surf reel. As you get 600 yds of 12 lb, 440 yds of 16 lb and 330 yds of 20 lb. However, in terms of retrieval range, you get (CM) 103-105 with 101.6 inches per crank.
Ultegra XSD Technical Specification
The Ultegra XSD is packed with unique features like X-Ship, Super Slow Oscillation, Aero Wrap II, and Instant Drag the angler can be confident to challenge the biggest salt or freshwater fish out there.
- X-SHIP system gives reels increased gearing efficiency and power, eliminating twist and rotor flex. The result is powerful and silky smooth cranking by efficiently and effectively transmitting input power.
- Super Slow Oscillation (50) – an advanced way of laying a line onto the spool during retrieval and therefore improves casting performance.
- Aerowrap II – Aerowrap II is a worm gear oscillation system with a specially designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds for the AR-C lip design. It provides a uniform line lay and winding shape to prevent loss of energy during a cast while providing longer casts than other oscillation systems.
- Instant Drag
- AR-C Spool – made from cold-forged aluminium – which has a new lip design giving you longer castS, prevents backlashes and wind knots, and lets line fall off the spool in smaller loops
- Line reducers (2 x 10.000 + 2 x 3.500) to reduce line capacity
- Parallel Body
- 1 A-RB & 3 stainless steel + 1 ball bearings 1 roller bearing
- Single machined aluminium handle
- XT-7 body material Shimano’s new graphite which is 200% stronger than current graphite using Shimano’s latest technology for improved rigidity and longevity
