serious fishing!
The Reel
The Shimano Speedcast 14000 XSB Long Cast Surf
Reel uses Shimano’s X-Ship gearing for maximum efficiency.
With a powerful retrieve ratio of 4.3:1 for confident fish-playing,
the Speedcast XS-B also retrieves a remarkable 103cm of line per
handle turn making it ideal for long distance fishing. The
combination of slow oscillation, Aero Wrap II and a cold forged
AR-C spool also makes this model an excellent distance casting
reel. Fitted with an Instant Drag spool, the Speedcast XS-B is
perfect for long range surf fishing or for specimen anglers who
prefer the Instant Drag facility.
ARC Spool
The ARC Spool is a patented angled spool lip design that enables
the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils
for longer and more accurate casts – reducing backlash and wind
knots when using braid
Aero Wrap II
Aero Wrap II is a worm gear oscillation system with a specially
designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds. This provides
uniform line lay to reduce loss of energy during the cast. It’s one
of the best line lay systems in the world!
Instant Drag
This allows the drag setting to be switched from free spool to a
‘fight’ setting by tightening the Instant Drag lever on the front
of the spool in only a few turns.
DynaBalance
This feature reduces wobble during the retrieve by
counter-balancing the rotor to enhance sensitivity and smoothness.
Through computer balancing, Shimano is able to redistribute the
rotor weight to eliminate vibrations.
The Rod
The Shimano Vortex 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
Surf Rod has been designed by Kiwi fishos for Kiwi fishos
– it’s as simple as that!
