The Shimano Big Baitrunner XTB 14000 Long Cast fishing reel is expertly engineered for anglers who demand superior casting distance, robust power, and enduring durability. This Shimano Big Baitrunner reel is an exceptional choice for surfcasting and land-based fishing, perfectly suited for targeting formidable species such as snapper and kingfish. Integrating Shimano's cutting-edge technologies, it ensures consistently smooth performance and reliable control, even when battling powerful fish under challenging conditions.

Designed to help you reach distant feeding grounds and hidden structures, the Big Baitrunner XTB 14000 Long Cast combines innovative features to enhance your fishing experience.

• Exceptional Long Cast Performance: Achieve maximum casting distance with ease, thanks to the large AR-C Spool, slow oscillation system, and the advanced Aero Wrap II line lay. This combination ensures superb line management, reducing friction and allowing your bait or lure to fly further, reaching those elusive fish beyond the breakers.
• Baitrunner System: The core functionality of this reel, the Baitrunner system, allows for a controlled free spool with the bail arm closed. This enables fish to take the bait without feeling resistance, giving them time to run before you engage the main drag with a simple turn of the handle. It's an invaluable feature for live baiting or when targeting wary species.
• X-Ship System: Experience ultra-light handle rotation and efficient power transmission. The X-Ship system supports the pinion gear on both ends with S-ARB ball bearings, enhancing gear stability and ensuring smooth operation and increased cranking power, even when retrieving heavy loads or fighting strong fish.
• Hagane Gear: At the heart of the reel, the Hagane Gear is produced through a precision cold-forging process without additional machining. This results in exceptional strength, resilience, and long-lasting durability, ensuring reliable performance season after season in demanding saltwater environments.
• Shielded A-RB Bearings: Equipped with four shielded A-RB ball bearings, this reel offers increased durability and corrosion resistance. These bearings feature shields on both sides to significantly reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting rotation, making them ideal for the harsh conditions of saltwater fishing.
• Redesigned Gearing: The meticulously redesigned gears minimise friction and maximise power transfer from the long aluminium handle to the rotor. This delivers greater torque and winding power, providing superior control and making it easier to play and land large fish.
• Manual Bail Close System: Provides precise control over line release and engagement, allowing for accurate casting and immediate hook-sets.
• Versatile Application: While excelling in beach casting where distance is paramount, this Big size (14000) is also supplied with line reducers for adaptable line capacity, offering versatility for various land-based and boat-based fishing techniques.
