Shimano Speedmaster XTD 14000
The Speedmaster XTD is a stunning long range carp reel that offers remarkable value. Containing gearing and long cast technology taken directly from more expensive class-leading SHIMANO models, the understated ‘stealth’ finish fits perfectly with all Tribal TX Carp rods.
If you want a great combination of value, quality and performance, you’ll immediately be drawn to the Speedmaster XTD. Combining the same G Free Body silhouette as many of SHIMANO’S long-range reels, with an understated stealth appearance, the Speedmaster is visually stunning. And in use it does not disappoint either. Not only will the Speedmaster enable you to cast further, the new gearing arrangement and technology will provide you with the strength needed to catch the largest specimen fish with ease. A great choice for anglers of all abilities.
It really is difficult to fault the Speedmaster. It has inherited many of the top features used by the leading SHIMANO long range reels. Super Slow 5-line oscillation is used on all long-range reels right up to the Power Aero price point, as is G Free Body, Parallel Body, Rigid Cast and a cold forged aluminium AR-C spool. You even get a set of spool reducers to make spooling up more cost efficient. And when it comes to playing fish the combination of HAGANE Gear and SILENT DRIVE technology optimises winding efficiency and the Instant Drag enables super-fast adjustment of drag tension to control fish with minimal fuss. But perhaps the most impressive characteristic is that whilst the Speedmaster maintains the credibility of its more expensive cousins, it offers remarkable value for money.

Safety instructions:
“ - Handle hooks with care: Always cover the fishing hooks or remove them from the rods for transportation. Use corks or hook covers to avoid accidental injury.
- Keep your distance: Fish at least 10 meters away from others to avoid accidents. Watch out for people behind you before casting. Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
- Carbon fiber rods conduct electricity. Do not use them during thunderstorms or near power lines.
- Never try to pull lures or leaders out of trees or bushes by applying pressure to the rod and fishing line. This can result in the bait/lead being catapulted towards the angler. Use only your hands to free the bait/lead.
- Train beginners: Instruct children and beginners in the safe handling of rods and hooks to minimize risks.
- Safety distance: Always keep a distance of at least six meters from high-voltage power lines when carrying or using fishing rods.
- Avoid high sticking: Do not bend your rod too much while you are drilling a fish, which is known as “high sticking. Hold the rod at a maximum loading angle of 45 to 60 degrees to avoid breakage.
- Aligning the rod for snags: If your lure snags, keep the rod pointed at the hook while walking backwards to reduce the strain on the rod.
- Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
