Shimano - 23 SPEEDMASTER 14000XSD Surf Reel

The Shimano 23 Speedmaster 14000XSD is a dedicated surfcasting reel engineered for New Zealand anglers who demand maximum casting distance and reliable power. Built with a lightweight yet rigid CI4+ body, this reel significantly reduces fatigue during long sessions on the beach or rocks while maintaining the structural integrity needed to subdue heavy surf species. Its specialised parallel body design and Super Slow 5 Oscillation system ensure perfect line lay, allowing baits to be launched well past the breakers to where Snapper and Kingfish feed.

• HAGANE Gear – Cold-forged drive gear provides enduring strength and smoothness under heavy loads without machining.
• Super Slow 5 Oscillation – Wraps line evenly to minimise friction during the cast, essential for reaching distant gutters.
• SilentDrive Technology – Eliminates microscopic play and noise for a silent, silky-smooth rotation during retrieval.
• Rigid Cast – Reinforces the main shaft to reduce spool deflection, ensuring consistent timing and release accuracy.
• High-Speed Drag – Allows for rapid adjustment from free spool to fighting tension with a minimal turn of the knob.
