SHIMANO FISHING REELS Surf Leader Ci4+ SD Surfcasting Reel

The new 2018 Surf Leader Ci4+ reel is the new improved version of the 2014 Super Aero Surf Leader Ci4+, featuring X-Protect to prevent water, dirt or salt to reach the gears. This reel with its super shallow spool and slow 3,5:1 gear ratio is specifically developed for light surf casting and beach ledgering. Specifications: - Body material: ci4+ - Bearings: 4+1 - Family type: big pit - Extra spool: no - Models: 14000 - Spool material: cold forged aluminium - Waterproof drag: yes - Handle: screw in, machined aluminium single handle - Weight (oz):535 - Bearings:4+1 - Gear ratio :3.5:1 - Max drag (kg):20 - Line capacity:0.20-250 Technology: - HAGANE GEAR The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano´s coldforging technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers a longlasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel. Traditional diecast machined gears are less durable under heavy loads. - XSHIP XShip is a combination of features that work together to create much greater efficiency By positioning the pinion gear close to the centre line of the large diameter drive gear. more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The pinion gear is also supported by two Shimano ARB roller bearings. This creates more stability. - XPROTECT The contact type triplelip structure is introduced to the roller clutch, the pivotal point concerning water resistance. In this structure, the first lip prevents water from entering through the space between the rotor and the body. In addition, the special grease between the second and third lip where it makes contact with the rotor collar bcated at the upper part of the roller clutch not only resists water from entering but also minimizes friction resistance. Without jeopardizing the ´silky smooth rotation capacity, the vital feature of STELLA SW, exceptional water resistance, has been achieved to withstand the crashing and splashing of waves and spray. - PARALLEL BODY The parallel Body feature implicates that the spool is lined out parallel to the rod, This results in the reduction of line touching the rod and subsequently this increases the casting distance. - ARC SPOOL Shimano ARC Spool is a patented spool design with an angled spool lip. This design enables the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils resulting in longer more accurate casts. ARC spools are proven to reduce backlash and wind knots when using braid. - HI SPEED DRAG The •Hi-Speed Drag´ is the fastest drag function ever featured on a Shimano reel. Only a very small tum on the drag knob will transit the drag settings from free spool mode´ to the ´fight mode´ _
