Assembled for enhanced casting performance

The Shimano Speedmaster 14000 XSD Vortex Surf Spin Combo is ideal for anglers who want a heavy-duty rod and reel set. The smooth and powerful Speedmaster 14000 XSD Spinning Surf Reel complements the ultra strong and durable Vortex Spinning Surf Rod. Matched for amazing castability, enhanced distance and accuracy.

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 Shimano Vortex Spinning Surf Rod is a dynamic and versatile rod that has been designed to fit directly into the Kiwi lifestyle. This rod features a Power-Carbon blank specially designed to take the knocks, an integrated glass tip so as to retain sensitivity from the bite to the fight and also enhance overall performance without compromise. These features allow Kiwi anglers to take full advantage of the more traditional bait fishing techniques including the perfect match for the Shimano Baitrunner series.

The Shimano Vortex Spinning Surf Rod has been designed by kiwi fishos for kiwi fishos - it's as simple as that!
