The Shimano Aero Technium MgS XSD 14000 Reel is a flagship big pit reel designed for surfcasting enthusiasts seeking exceptional performance and durability. Incorporating Shimano's latest technologies, this reel offers a combination of lightweight construction and robust features.
- HAGANE Body: Constructed with a magnesium frame, the HAGANE Body provides high rigidity and impact resistance, minimizing body flexing during intense use.
- HAGANE Gear: Cold-forged for maximum strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear ensures smooth and reliable operation under heavy loads.
- X-Ship: This technology enhances gear durability by supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, maintaining precise alignment with the drive gear and reducing friction.
- Infinity Drive: Reduces rotational resistance, allowing for lighter winding and improved performance during retrieval.
- Silent Drive: Minimizes mechanical noise and vibration, providing a smoother and quieter reel operation.
- Rigid Cast: Optimizes the reel's rigidity and lightness, reducing deflection during casting for enhanced distance and accuracy.
- Super Slow 10 Oscillation: Features a 45 mm spool with 107 turns per oscillation, ensuring a perfect linear cast for greater distance and precision.
- X-Protect: Provides high water resistance through a labyrinth structure, protecting internal components from water and dust ingress.
- G Free Body: Shifts the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod, reducing fatigue and enhancing casting comfort.
- Parallel Body: Aligns the spool parallel to the rod blank, reducing line slap and improving casting performance.
- AR-C Spool: Features a special spool ring shape that rectifies the line, reducing friction and enhancing casting distance.
- CI4+ Rotor: Utilizes a carbon fiber reinforced polymer rotor, offering a lightweight yet rigid design.
- Cross Carbon Drag: Provides smooth and durable drag performance, essential for handling powerful fish.
- S A-RB Bearings: Shielded A-RB bearings offer enhanced protection against corrosion, ensuring smooth operation in various conditions.
- One-Piece Bail: The seamless design reduces friction and decreases the chance of tangles or the line catching on the bail arm.
