Description

Shimano ULTXR14000XSD Ultegra Surf Spinning Reel Engineered to meet and exceed the demands of the hardcore surfcaster, the Shimano ULTXR14000XSD Ultegra Surf Spinning Reel utilizes premium componentry and reel technology to elevate the angling experience. Its design has all the capabilities to withstand unforgiving environments, challenging currents, and hard charging gamefish, the bread and butter of the shore bound angler. Unleash Opportunities to New Distances For many years it has been understood that line friction is one of the major limiting factors when attempting to achieve distance. The Ultegra answers this flaw with a unique combination of a more radical, tall spool design and Shimano’s Super Slow Oscillation. With a tall spool design, greater surface area is achieved that the line can be coiled around before it is brought in a new direction. Super Slow Oscillation takes this one step further by coiling the line at a much “slower” rate, with greater amounts of coils being formed as the spool reaches its lowest and highest heights as line is retrieved. This combination ultimately creates the tightest and greatest number of coils for each pass of the spool, reducing friction to noticeable levels for improved casting distance. For anglers utilizing heavy plugs, tins, and bucktails, Shimano incorporated their Rigid Cast spool support to stabilize its deflection. The timing of line release is optimized to reduce friction-generating spool vibration. Effortless Cranking Power Breaking surf and challenging currents often only further harden the fighting strength and resistance that gamefish such as stripers, tarpon, snook, and roosterfish which is where technologies such as Infinity Drive come to place. Infinity Drive utilizes a new main shaft supporting structure to eliminate friction within the pinion gear. Its design ultimately increases winding torque to the user, along with providing an incredibly smooth and light rotation with heavy loads. Battling the hars
