Shimano Ultegra 14000 Xtd Review

In weeks review, we take a look the Shimano Ultegra 14000 Xtd big pit carp reel.

I’ve been using these reels for a few weeks now, so will share my thoughts on these reels including all the features and will be keeping this review up to date regularly.

So what did I want from a new carp reel? Well I needed a big pit carp reel that guaranteed me reliability, built from quality components, which is lightweight and stylish but not too expensive.

Carp reels from a design perspective haven't really changed in the last 10 years but Shimano are known for listening to anglers feedback and by making small improvements and tweaks, it’s resulted in the production of the best carp reels on the market.

When looking for new carp

These are excellent carp reels for the money and most likely, the best carp reels you will find for under £150.

The key features include:
Super Slow Oscillation
Instant Drag (1 Turn)
Lightweight (645g)
Large line capacity
Comes with a spare spool and accessories

How much?
Buy cheap and buy twice is something that comes to mind when I think of carp reels.

I’ve been through numerous carp reels ranging from £50- £80 and seem last me for around a few years each. If your into your carp fishing and looking for a well built, reliable reel that I’ve been told can last for over 10 years than a Shimano carp reel could be the one for you.

You can find the Shimano Ultegra 14000 Xtd big pit carp reels for around £159 each from most Shimano stockists. You can also find the them a little cheaper at around £127 from sites such as ebay and amazon.

Conclusion
I hope you enjoyed this review of the Shimano Ultegra 14000 Xtd carp reels. If you have any questions about the reel I’ll be happy to answer them in the comments below.

Merrick remembered this fisherman named Derk he was a bit grouchy to him on the first day he arrived and wasn’t exactly expecting another comment of good fortune. Sure enough, the old fishermen goes on and on seemed nothing but cranky old comments and then mentioned he did trade wool on one trip to Merrick’s village and brought back a similar winder longboat not as sleek with a smaller mast. He explains how when they basically traded or purchased it really that the Viking long boat was hard to get used to and once they made it back they couldn’t get the mast set just right and nobody could get the men to row in unison so they just left it on of the far banks unused.
