Long range Shimano Surf Combo for general shore fishing
The Shimano Speedmaster Surf H Tubular is a 3 piece 4.25m surf rod which offers a great combination of affordability and high performance.
Designed with a fast tip, the Shimano Speedmaster Surf H Tubular has a versatile casting action which can be easily compressed and will suit anglers of all abilities to achieve their longest casts. If you are looking for affordability, combined with good casting performance and sensitivity, the Shimano Speedmaster Surf H Tubular could be your perfect solution.
The Full Carbon blank utilises Shimano’s Diaflash technology to reduce weight and diamiter but also increase strength and power. The result is a rod which is remarkably lightweight and well balanced, yet deceptively powerful when pushed to its maximum compression. You will almost certainly be surprised at how well they cast, irrespective of your experience of strength.
The tubular tip helps when casting larger baits but still retains a high level of sensitivity
The Shimano Speedmaster Surf H Tubular is fitted out with Fuji Lowrider guides which are safe for use with braid as well as low diameter nylons. A Shimano DPS reel seat will take the largest 14000 surfcasting reels and has been positioned to enable you to create maximum leverage with your bottom hand when casting.
Shimano Speedmaster 14000 XSD features a series of upgrades to the original design. Now coming with a strong lightweight C14+ mainbody, and utilising their Rigicast technology. They also have upgraded and improved internals with Shimano’s Hagane drive gear and silent drive system.
Using the famous X-Ship gearing for maximum efficiency. With a powerful ratio of 4.3:1, it retrieves a remarkable 103cm of line per handle turn making the Shimano Speedmaster 14000 XSD ideal for long distance fishing. A slow oscillation, Aero Wrap II and a cold forged AR-C spool also make this model an excellent distance casting reel.
A Compact Performance Body means you get a big spool with a lightweight over- sized rotor. Less bulk means better casting speed and less fatigue when holding it for long periods of time waiting for that big bite.
At the heart of the Shimano Speedmaster 14000 XSD, the X-Ship bearing supported pinion gear for smooth, efficient rotation eliminates pinion tilt on the main shaft and delivers more precise meshing on the main gear.
Line capacity is a very healthy 440yds of 16lb mono and the 4.3:1 gear ratio rips in over a metre of line with each rotation of the machined aluminium handle.
Super Slow 5 Oscillation delivers more precise line lay onto the AR-C spool, which is especially important with fine diameter braids and means more efficient casting as well as better use of the reels prodigious line capacity.
