The 2019 Speedmaster 14000 XTC/XSC reel is the new version of the 2015 Speedcast XSB/XTB.It has been strongly updated in specs, features and appearance! This reel will be ideal to use for both surfcasting and carp fishing.Instant-DragInstant-Drag allows a quick adjustment of the front drag knob to take the reel from an angler’s current drag setting to free spool in just half a turn.G-Free BodyG-Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler’s hand, the G-Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.Parallel BodyParallel Body is designed to improve dynamic line flow from the reel to the first guide. On many reels the spool is aligned slightly upwards towards the rod blank, but reels with Parallel Body have the spool located at exactly 90° to the blank. The result: less line slapping on the blank as it travels towards the first guide during the cast, ultimately increasing performance.Propulsion Line Management SystemThe most obvious component of the Propulsion Line Management System is the new Propulsion Spool Lip design. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, Shimano’s new spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while also preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming.Super slowoscillation 5Slower spool oscillation reduces the speed the line travels up and down the spool on the cast. This results in less friction as the line leaves the spool, improving casting distance and accuracy. Shimano’s Standard Oscillation — up to 20 wraps per cycle — outperforms the industry standard. Shimano’s Slow Oscillation tops that with up to 40 wraps per cycle and exceeds almost any other reel on the market. Shimano now offers two Super Slow Oscillation systems: Super Slow 5 (55 wraps) and Super Slow 10 (105 wraps).X-ShipX-Ship provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit of X-Ship technology is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This further benefits anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.Spare Spool : NoBearings : 4+1Series : SpeedmasterLine Retrieve : 103 cmGear Ratio : 4,3:1Spool Material : Cold Forged AluminiumDrag Power : 20 kgWeight : 645 gSize Reel / Spool : 14000Made in : ChinaBody : XT-7Line Capacity : 0,35mm - 550m / 0,40mm - 400m / 0,45mm - 300mVariant : Reel.
