The Beastmaster XC 14000 With features derived directly from more expensive Shimano models, such as Super Slow 5 oscillation and Parallel Body, the Beastmaster is an excellent medium to long distance casting reel. With a name like Beastmaster you can be sure that this large, durable reel will meet your expectations. Offering excellent value for money, if you're new to long distance fishing, or want a second reel for carp or surf fishing, the Beastmaster is the right choice. While not high-end, the Beastmaster certainly has eye-catching cosmetics, with the same G Free Body silhouette as Shimano's flagship reels. The Super Slow 5 swing and Parallel Body help maximize casting distance, regardless of your experience or ability. Even though the Beastmaster is Shimano's cheapest reel, it still packs a good amount of advanced technology. The Super Slow 5 oscillation line-lay is still the default line-lay by which other reels are judged, and the AR-C spool design is exactly the same profile found on the best long-range Shimano reels. Both of these features help increase casting distance. During use you will appreciate the fluidity and power of the HAGANE gear, while the 4.3:1 gear ratio, with 103cm of line per turn of the handle, ensures that the Beastmaster is equally good at retrieving quickly as for throwing. For better fishing action, thanks to the Instant Drag it is possible to quickly adjust the maximum drag of 20 kg with a single turn of the clutch wing nut, to always have direct control.

The SLX DC XT is the leading model in the hugely popular SLX series. Featuring Shimano’s most advanced I-DC5 Intelligent Digital Control braking system and a low inertia MGL III Spool, it maximises casting performance across all sizes of lures, including ultra-light finesse sizes. If you want the directness that a baitcasting reel delivers, combined with the casting ease and versatility of a spinning reel, the SLX DC XT should be at the top of your list. Perfectly capable of casting a wide variety of lures, this technical masterpiece has hidden versatility and really comes into its own with lighter weight lures; enabling effortless and accurate casting to rival specialist BFS (Bait Finesse System) reels. At the heart of the remarkable casting versatility is a combination of the low inertia MGL III Spool and I-DC5 Digital Casting Control. The spool is ultra light, and when loaded with braid or lighter mono, rotates with a silky smoothness and ease to maximise distance. But the real secret is the exclusive I-DC5 system. This enables you to set the casting brake for the type of line you are using and also the size of lure, from large to ultra-light finesse (plus and additional friction free) offering fantastic, trouble free, automatic casting control at the turn of a dial. Inside the aluminium HAGANE Body (with ultra light CI4+ side plates), is a combination of Micro Module Gear and X-SHIP. This produces the unmistakable smoothness associated with Shimano Baitcasting reels and enough power to tackle the largest of freshwater predators. The simple to adjust star drag has Cross Carbon Drag Washers, which ensures that when it’s time to apply additional pressure you’ll never feel out of control. From ultra-light finesse lures to medium sized swim and crankbaits, the SLX DC XT a true all-rounder for the serious predator angler.
