Spinning reel Shimano Aero Technium Magnesium 14000 XTD

Shimano Aero Technium Magnesium 14000 XTD Reel

The Aero Technium MgS is considered by many carp anglers to be the best Big Pit reel. It is a unique reel of its kind, with experts using the latest Shimano technology when it comes to extreme distance casting. The feature list of this reel is remarkable. The Japanese concept, Hagane, was used in both the reel body and the gears, with the magnesium frame significantly reducing weight while keeping the body incredibly strong. The Hagane Transmission (cold forged) ensures maximum durability, infinite and silent operation for increased power, smoothness, durability, and the one-piece titanium pick-up confirms anglers' views that this is a top-tier reel.

The most notable feature, which the manufacturer highlights, is the 45 mm spool and the Super Slow 10 system. This system satisfies even the most demanding anglers concerning line lay on the spool, and together with the 45 mm spool, provides 107 line wraps per oscillation to achieve perfectly laid coils, reaching greater, more precise distances, and better control of all the power exerted during a cast. In short, Shimano experts say it is: "The best long-distance system ever built." Other important features:

INFINITY DRIVE is a new technology that eliminates slip resistance and enables smooth winding under both load and free-spinning conditions. INFINITY DRIVE is a contactless design where the pinion’s interior does not touch the main shaft. This reduction in slip resistance is achieved through applying a special low-friction bushing supporting the main shaft. The crank rotation torque is reduced by approximately 30%* compared to conventional X-SHIP construction.

SILENT DRIVE eliminates the "click" sound from the previous version, making the gears quieter.

X-PROTECT is the waterproofing technology used on this reel; with the "triplelip" system, water ingress inside the reel becomes impossible.

RIGID CAST balances the strength and lightness of the main shaft to withstand the impact forces exerted on the reel during extreme distance casting.

PARALLEL BODY means the spool is positioned parallel to the rod blank. This reduces line friction and subsequently increases casting distance.

HI-SPEED DRAG is the fastest drag feature ever presented on a Shimano reel. Just a very small turn of the knob switches settings from "free mode" to "fight mode."

LONG STROKE SPOOL the spool has a longer stroke compared to conventional Shimano models. This longer stroke results in greater casting distance.

AR-C SPOOL a new V-shaped spool lip design ensures the line lays into smaller coils for more accurate long-distance casting. The AR-C spool minimizes line friction and the risk of tangles during casts.

SUPER SLOW OSCILLATION 10 The spool's slower oscillation reduces the speed at which the line moves up and down on it. This results in less friction as the line leaves the spool and reduced sinker resistance, improving casting distance and accuracy. Super Slow 10 manages to overlap more than 105 coils in a full oscillation cycle.
