Shimano Speedcast 14000 XTB Reel
If you’re looking for the ultimate long distance fishing reel then you need look no further than this next-level offering from performance reel experts, Shimano. The Speedcast XT-B uses every single one of Shimano’s top end technologies to ensure it operates at maximum efficiency throughout its impressive life span. A classic bit pit reel, the Speedcast XT-B was built with carp fishing in mind and is best suited to large UK and big continental waters.
This reel is manufactured from Shimano’s go-to material for mid-priced reels, an XT-7 carbon material which is both lightweight and durable. It can also handle exceptionally powerful casts and retrieves, too – thanks to its impressive rigidity – making it the ideal big fish fighting tool. Its cold forged aluminium spool is built on the A-RC concept. A-RC spools are oversized and are both longer and of a greater diameter than traditional spools, making them ideal for creating big pit reels. With a tapered profile, A-RC spools also feature a unique angled spool lip. This spool lip reduces the friction on the line as it flies off the spool, allowing it to maintain momentum and reach greater distances. It also ensures the line leaves the spool in tight coils to reduce the risk of backlash or wind knots. As an added bonus, this reel also boasts Shimano’s impressive Aerowrap II technology. This is the second iteration of the famous worm oscillation system which has been ensuring that Shiamno’s reels offer unparalleled line lay. With a two speed slow oscillating system, this reel will give you uniform line lay each time, ensuring that you don’t experience any loss of speed on the cast and giving you those vital additional inches on every single cast. This is perfect for the distance casting angler who wants to target both the UK and the continents very largest waters, punching out huge casts to the very furthest features.
When it comes to the retrieve this reel is just as powerful, meaning that you can tackle those monster carp with ease. Shimano’s excellent X-Ship technology really gets to stretch its legs on this reel. X-Ship places the pinion gear close to the centre of the main drive gear, ensuring maximum power is transferred between the handle and the gearing. The whole system is stabilised by two of Shimano’s ARB ball bearings, which virtually eliminate any residual friction and ensure that you can experience a flawless performance time after time. This is aided by Hypergear technology, which helps the transfer of power between the handle and the rotor to ensure minimum effort creates maximum cranking power – ideal for bringing in those monster carp and your next personal best capture. The Speedcast XT-B has an epic retrieve rate of 103cm line per handle turn, thanks to its 4.3:1 gearing. In short, when you’re playing a fish under the tip you can be confident that this reel is going to perform.
The Shimano Speedcast 14000 XT-B is easy to maintain, too, thanks to its oil lubrication port. This ensures that you can enjoy this reel for its maximum lifespan and it allows you to be completely confident in its ability. You know that this reel won’t let you down when you need it the most and it is the ideal tool for the angler who doesn’t want to break the bank to enjoy an ultra-reliable carp fishing setup. In fact, regardless of your budget, if you’re looking for a top quality reel to revolutionise your distance casting carp fishing then you need look no further than the Shimano Speedcast 14000 XT-B.
