Product Details
The Shimano Beastmaster 14000 XC Aquatip Surf Combo is a strong choice. This rod-and-reel combo comes with the reliable and efficient Shimano Beastmaster 14000 XC Surfcasting Reel, and it’s paired up with the durable and high-quality Aquatip Surf Casting Rod.
The Reel
Are you ready to elevate your surf fishing game without spending too much? The Shimano Beastmaster 14000 XC Surfcasting Reel is here to fit the bill. While classified as an beginner-level reel, it packs a set of features that are taken directly from its pricier Shimano siblings, such as the Super Slow 5 oscillation and the Parallel Body, ensuring your mid to long-range casting experience is top-notch.
This reel certainly lives up to its namesake and reputation – large, tough, and a casting beast. Even on a budget, you get the G Free Body technology, minimising user fatigue and boosting casting comfort. The Super Slow 5 Oscillation and Parallel Body ensure a smooth line flow, maximising your casting distance regardless of your skill level. While it may not match the pricier Shimano models in technical advancements, the Beastmaster impresses with its sleek G Free Body silhouette.
On the inside, the Beastmaster surprises with advanced tech like Silent Drive, ensuring a quiet and smooth reel rotation. The G Free Body shifts the centre of gravity closer to your hand, reducing fatigue during long fishing sessions. The Parallel Body enhances dynamic line flow, minimising line slapping and improving overall performance. The AR-C spool design, shared with Shimano’s premium reels, offers both line trouble suppression and impressive casting distances.
When it comes to specs, the Beastmaster doesn’t compromise. With a 4.3:1 gear ratio, HAGANE Gear for smooth power, and a 20kg max drag, it’s a reel that handles both casting and fish-playing with ease. Whether you’re new to long-range fishing, or need a reliable second reel for carp or surf fishing, the Shimano Beastmaster 14000 XC Surfcasting Reel is a solid choice that won’t disappoint.
The Rod
The Shimano Aqua Tip Surf Casting Rod is designed for those who can’t get enough of fishing from the beach. Designed to ensure you get a long cast every time the Aquatip series of rods are constructed in a different manner to regular fibreglass rods. Rather than spiralling the fibres down the rod tube, the Aquatip series has the fibres pulled down, giving it a much strong pull when you fight your fish. With an integrated solid glass tip, fibreglass blank and ceramic guides this rod is made with durability in mind.
