Shimano Speedmaster 14000 Vortex Surfcasting Combo 15ft 10-15kg 3pc

Superior strength and reliability

The Shimano Speedmaster 14000 Vortex Surfcasting
Combo is perfect for saltwater anglers who want a
heavy-duty rod and reel combo. The heavy-duty Vortex rod
complements the ultra strong and smooth Speedmaster reel. Matched
to provide longer casting distance and accuracy.

The Reel
Strongly updated in specs, features and appearance, the
Shimano Speedmaster 14000 FC XSC Surfcasting 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
X-Ship without the robbing the bank.

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.

Parallel Body
With this feature the spool is aligned parallel to the rod,
minimising the rubbing between the rod and the line while
increasing casting distance.

Hi-Speed Drag
By utilising a special drag washer, the drag can be adjusted from
the minimum to maximum range with one complete turn of the drag
knob.

Silent Drive
From the fundamental, whole body design to the most intricate parts
of the drive train, including the drive gear, wormshaft, wormshaft
pin and wormshaft gear, every piece has been carefully reviewed,
and the smallest clearance gaps and wobbles have been eliminated to
the highest tolerances.

G Free Body
G Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel’s
centre of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the centre of
gravity closer to your hand position, the G Free Body helps to
reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

Super Slow 5
Super Slow Oscillation where the line is wound up about 100
revolutions with one spool reciprocation. It reduces the release
resistance at the time of casting and leads to an increase in
distance.

Instant Drag
Instant Drag allows the drag to be switched from free spool to a
‘fight’ setting by tightening the drag with a couple turns.

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!
