Shimano Speedmaster 14000 XSD Backbone Surf Spin Combo 14ft 6in 10-15kg 3pc

Power in the palm of your hands

The Shimano Speedmaster 14000 XSD Backbone Surf Spin Combo is expertly assembled by Shimano to give your surfcasting game a level up. With cleverly designed features such as Silentdrive, the Hagane gear system and tough blank construction, this rod and reel set gives you reliable strength, power and enhanced casting capabilities when you need it most. An excellent choice for saltwater anglers who want a heavy-duty combo to fish from the shores.

The Reel
Strongly updated in specs, features and appearance, the Shimano 23 Speedmaster 14000 XSD Spinning Surf 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 HAGANE, SilentDrive, and G-FREE body without robbing the bank.

Shimano's Super Slow 5 oscillation system with Aero Wrap crosslay technology guarantees perfect line lay and prevents jamming of individual turns on the spool when fighting strong fish. Thanks to the redesigned Parallel Body that positions the reel parallel to the rod, line friction has been reduced during the cast on the first guide.

Additionally, Rigid Cast technology reduces spool chatter on the cast, and the AR-C spool lip reduces line friction to extend line distance. This enables long and accurate casts, even when using thicker and stiffer lines. And what's more, the Shimano 23 Speedmaster 14000 XSD Spinning Surf Reel's generous spool size allows you to hold up to 550m of line with a diameter of 0.35mm. The set also includes practical spool reducers (3500, 10000), allowing you to wind a smaller amount of line if necessary, while filling the spool to the very edge.

The Rod
The favourite Backbone series of rods just got an overhaul. The new Shimano Backbone Surf Spin Rod is now stronger than ever, with a higher quality blank, good quality componentry and a new slick design that is bound to please.

EVA Full Grips
Customised EVA grips, shaped for maximum comfort and performance.

Graphite Blank
Utilising high quality graphite sheets rolled on custom designed mandrels, a sensitive yet extremely lightweight performance fishing blank is created.

Graphite Composite
Rod blanks combining both graphite and fibreglass materials in a particular manner can create a blank with characteristics that are best of both worlds, making a rod that has fibreglass robustness with the power of graphite.
