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 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
A high spec rod that comes at a reasonable price, the
Shimano 23 Surf Lander 425BXT Telescopic Spin Surf Rod is designed to cast far with its unique taper, ergonomic shape, Cascon grip and Fuji SiC guide. This rod employs the latest K-guide from Fuji and Shimano X Guide to reduce wind knots during your casts.
Spiral X + Hi-Power X
The Hi-Power X construction suppresses rod torsion from the start of casting and improves directionality. The Spiral X construction is more effective against torsion as the rod is subjected to higher loads and bends more, and by suppressing rod torsion and vibration, your casting power is fully utilised.
Evolutionary new generation fast action mild tuning
By making the new generation fast action even faster, the rod bending time is shortened, so your power can be transmitted to the rod without excess. Furthermore, the synergistic effect of the Spiral X structure, which suppresses power loss, and the high rebound, increases casting distance. The rod is mildly tuned to bend slightly toward the body, smoothly transmitting power from the tip when a load is applied. Instead of casting with force, the rod flexes to enable casting farther with ease, and the rod flexes to create a split-second pause for better directional control.
Shimano's original guide setting (with a swinging K-guide)
A floating K-guide is used for swinging, and to further increase casting distance, a WFMSG (W Caspin) stainless steel frame SiC guide with a high foot is used for the butt guide. By making the former guide foot-high, the resistance to line discharge caused by contact with the guide and rod body is minimised, ensuring smooth line discharge. This effect is especially effective when using thicker line.
