Shimano Speedmaster 14000 FC XSC Carbolite SW Surf Combo 14ft 10-15kg 3pc

Cast further

A combo especially matched to give you longer casting distance, the Shimano Speedmaster 14000 FC XSC Carbolite SW Surf Combo features a remarkable line per handle turn making it easier to retrieve your catch. It's matched with a 14ft rod so you can cast further from the shore or on the rocks.

The Reel
Strongly updated in specs, features and appearance, the Shimano Speedmaster 14000 FC XSC Surfcasting Reel is perfect for keen anglers wanting to step up from an entry level surf reel or for those who want top shelf Shimano features such as X-Ship without the robbing the bank.

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.

Parallel Body
With this feature the spool is aligned parallel to the rod, minimising the rubbing between the rod and the line while increasing casting distance.

Hi-Speed Drag
By utilising a special drag washer, the drag can be adjusted from the minimum to maximum range with one complete turn of the drag knob.

Silent Drive
From the fundamental, whole body design to the most intricate parts of the drive train, including the drive gear, wormshaft, wormshaft pin and wormshaft gear, every piece has been carefully reviewed, and the smallest clearance gaps and wobbles have been eliminated to the highest tolerances.

G Free Body
G Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's centre of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the centre of gravity closer to your hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

Super Slow 5
Super Slow Oscillation where the line is wound up about 100 revolutions with one spool reciprocation. It reduces the release resistance at the time of casting and leads to an increase in distance.

Instant Drag
Instant Drag allows the drag to be switched from free spool to a 'fight' setting by tightening the drag with a couple turns.

The Rod
The Shimano Carbolite SW Spinning Surf Rod belongs to a range of rods that deploy SVX2 technology; which when combined with a set of custom low profile grips, Fuji reel seats and guides create this powerful surf rod. The rod development team at Shimano NZ are passionate strayline/bait enthusiasts and have designed the Carbolite SW range utilising literally thousands of combined hours targeting John Dory, Cod, Kingfish and monster Snapper soaking baits and have taken pride in getting this series just perfect for this style of fishing.
