Shimano Beastmaster 14000 XC Backbone Surf Combo 14ft 6in 10-15kg 3pc

A solid and reliable combo for consistent performance

Are you looking for a reliable surf combo at a nice price point? The Shimano Beastmaster 14000 XC Backbone Surf Combo is a great choice. This rod-and-reel combo comes with the reliable and efficient Shimano Beastmaster 14000 XC Surfcasting Reel, and it's paired up with the Backbone Surf Rod which features strong and solid componentry.

The Reel
Are you ready to elevate your surf fishing game without spending too much? The Shimano Beastmaster 14000 XC Surfcasting Reel is here to fit the bill. While classified as an beginner-level reel, it packs a set of features that are taken directly from its pricier Shimano siblings, such as the Super Slow 5 oscillation and the Parallel Body, ensuring your mid to long-range casting experience is top-notch.

This reel certainly lives up to its namesake and reputation – large, tough, and a casting beast. Even on a budget, you get the G Free Body technology, minimising user fatigue and boosting casting comfort. The Super Slow 5 Oscillation and Parallel Body ensure a smooth line flow, maximising your casting distance regardless of your skill level. While it may not match the pricier Shimano models in technical advancements, the Beastmaster impresses with its sleek G Free Body silhouette.

On the inside, the Beastmaster surprises with advanced tech like Silent Drive, ensuring a quiet and smooth reel rotation. The G Free Body shifts the centre of gravity closer to your hand, reducing fatigue during long fishing sessions. The Parallel Body enhances dynamic line flow, minimising line slapping and improving overall performance. The AR-C spool design, shared with Shimano's premium reels, offers both line trouble suppression and impressive casting distances.

When it comes to specs, the Beastmaster doesn't compromise. With a 4.3:1 gear ratio, HAGANE Gear for smooth power, and a 20kg max drag, it's a reel that handles both casting and fish-playing with ease. Whether you're new to long-range fishing, or need a reliable second reel for carp or surf fishing, the Shimano Beastmaster 14000 XC Surfcasting Reel is a solid choice that won't disappoint.

The Rod
The favourite Backbone series of rods just got an overhaul. The new Shimano Backbone Surf Spin Rod is now stronger than ever, with a higher quality blank, good quality componentry and a new slick design that is bound to please.

EVA Full Grips
Customised EVA grips, shaped for maximum comfort and performance.

Graphite Blank
Utilising high quality graphite sheets rolled on custom designed mandrels, a sensitive yet extremely lightweight performance fishing blank is created.

Graphite Composite
Rod blanks combining both graphite and fibreglass materials in a particular manner can create a blank with characteristics that are best of both worlds, making a rod that has fibreglass robustness with the power of graphite.
