The Shimano Ultegra CI4+ 14000 XTC BX Surf Leader Ultra 425BX Surf Combo is matched for long distance casting and powerful retrieve. This set is tough enough to fight and tame the big fish. Get ready for some serious fishing.

The Reel
The Shimano Ultegra CI4+ 14000 XTC Surfcasting Reel is Shimano's flagship surf casting spin reel, and has upgraded to Ci4+ rotor and body which delivers a surf reel that is substantially lighter to hold, yet stronger and more rigid at the same time.

X-Ship provides better gearing and power, while the Aero Wrap II oscillation system delivers uniform line lay on its big pit AR-C spool, so casting accurately to distant gutters and structure has never been easier. This reel also comes with a spare spool and 3 different spool reducers in sizes 10000. 6000, and 3500 meaning you can have either different line weights or lengths suited to your style of fishing. From Elephant fish to Kahawai to Trophy Snapper and Kingfish, the Shimano Ultegra Ci4+ XT-C has it wired!

X-Ship
By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with the S-ARB bearings and integrating bigger drive gear, Shimano increased the gearing efficiency and power. This results in a fishing reel with ultra-light handle rotation; less effort and power giving a perfect rotation even under heavy loads.

AR-C Spool Management System
Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations it has been determined that this new AR-C spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast, which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer casts with less friction.

Aero Wrap II Oscillation System
Aero Wrap II is a worm gear oscillation system with a specially designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds for the Propulsion Spool Lip design. It provides uniform line lay and winding shape to prevent loss of energy during the cast while providing longer casts than other oscillation systems. So, casting distance increases with less effort required.

The Rod
The Shimano Surf Leader Ultra 425BX Surfcasting Rod is the new flagship surf rod in the Shimano range. With Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank technology, this is the ultimate surf rod with unbelievable distance and casting abilities.

The Spiral X construction results in reduced torsion and ovalisation, while the Hi-Power X construction results in reduced blank twist and greater rod strength. Overall this creates a very strong, stiff and lightweight rod blank with incredible casting performance (both distance and accuracy). The Surf Leader Ultra comes in a 425cm length and is finished with Fuji SiC low rider guides.

Spiral X Construction
Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a blank made of vertical fibers, an inner layer, and an outer layer both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fiber sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fighting fish. Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's Spiral X construction enhances your "catching power."

Hi-Power X
In Hi-Power X construction, the blank's outermost layer is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape, which forms an array of "X" shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control by the angler.
