Shimano Aero Technium MgS XTD 14000 Reel

The Shimano Aero Technium MgS-XTD 14000 is a top-of-the-line fishing reel that sets a new standard for performance and durability. It's specifically designed for big pit and surf fishing, and comes in two models: the XTD version for carp fishing, and the XSD version for surf fishing.

One of the key features of this reel is its longer spool, which measures 45 millimeters in length. This gives the line more surface area to sit on, which reduces friction and drag and improves casting distance. The spool is also designed to be more rigid, thanks to the Rigidcast design philosophy, which balances strength and lightness to withstand the impact of powerful casting. The result is a reel that can deliver longer, more accurate casts with ease.

The oscillation system on this reel is Shimano's world-famous super slow 10 system, which has been redesigned to take advantage of the new spool shape. The super slow 10 system wraps between 95 and 110 layers of line on the spool over one full oscillation, which helps to add distance to every cast.

Durability is another key focus of the Aero Technium MgS-XTD 14000. It features a magnesium Hagane body that increases rigidity and protects against impact damage, as well as an Xprotect structure that funnels water away from the line roller to enhance durability. The Silent Drive system, which is a redesign of several internal components, reduces handle play and unwanted movement, as well as eliminating noise and any feeling in your hand from the warm shaft.

The Aero Technium MgS-XTD 14000 also includes the Infinity Drive system, which supports the main shaft with a sliding bush and special coating to reduce resistance. This improves sensitivity and power when winding in fish. In addition, the parallel body technology ensures that the rod and reel are perfectly aligned, minimizing line slap on the bank and improving casting distance.

Other notable features of the Aero Technium MgS-XTD 14000 include the ARC spool lip design, which is designed to provide longer casting distances and prevent backlashes and wind knots, as well as eight shielded stainless steel bearings and a smooth drag system for handling heavy loads. With all of these features, the Aero Technium MgS-XTD 14000 is a top-performing, reliable choice for any angler looking for a top-quality reel.
