Shimano Ultegra CI4+ XSC Reel

Tell Me About It

The Shimano Ultegra C14 XSC Reel is a quality surf reel from the high-tech Shimano stable, so you know this reel is designed and built to perform in the roughest saltwater conditions, whilst featuring the ultimate protection for all important internal parts, which are easily corroded by saltwater if you try and go cheaper with a reel from another discipline.

At 14000 size, with two-speed Aero wrap II and super slow oscillation for smooth retrieve, this reel features a cold-forged aluminium spool, plus a handy spare, and waterproof drag.

Offering improved casting performance, this is a reel that will give experienced sea anglers reliable results time after time, and help newcomers to the discipline improve their casting confidence, and get their bait out further, faster.

The two-speed slow oscillation gives perfect line lay that’s unobtrusive, and won’t spook passing fish, while technologies such as X-Ship, X-Protect, and HAGANE gearing bring you all the Shimano performance you’d expect, in a reel that’s designed to handle the rigours of saltwater angling.

What Discipline Is It For?

Offering superior protection against the elements, including corrosives such as salt crystals, and designed to make distance casting as effortless and natural as possible, this Ultegra reel from Shimano could only ever be a sea fishing reel.

Why Should I Buy It?

If you’re looking for casting perfection and saltwater performance that will last, then you need this Shimano reel on the beach with your rods.

What’s The Best Thing About It?

The X-Protect system, which ensures that your reel is kept free from saltwater damage no matter how often you’re casting out, or how long you fish for. Whatever the conditions, this reel will stand up to them, time after time.
