Shimano 22 Stradic SW 14000XG

Casting and shore jigging model for big game
The Stradic SW 14000XG was developed with the ever-heating casting game and shore jigging of yellowtail and tuna in mind, and is a super practical reel with the largest line capacity in the series. Equipped with Infinity Drive, it has a light and powerful winding feel, as well as waterproof structures such as X-Protect and X-Shield and X-Tough Drag, making it comparable in toughness to higher-end models. It has the power to fight large fish. In addition, the extra high gear boasts a maximum winding length of 134 cm not only eliminates line slack and time lag when hooking, but also supports aggressive game development by quickly responding to sudden boils. It will create a whirlwind in the fierce offshore scene with its aggressive casting.

Equipped with X-Tough Drag, it is capable of controlling the fight with large fish
By adopting the X-Tough Drag, the maximum drag force of the 14000XG has been increased to 15kg. Heat dissipation has also been improved, making it possible to compete head-on with large fish that could not be stopped before. The handle knob is also equipped with an egg-shaped rubber type that matches casting. Combined with a line capacity of 300m of PE6, it is designed to target big games such as yellowfin tuna and yellowfin amberjack.

Never give up control. Core technology that creates strength and smoothness
The light and powerful winding feel that is popular with many anglers, and the peace of mind of never giving up control even to large fish. The core of the Stradic SW winding is Shimano's proud Infinity Drive. In addition to X-SHIP that realizes light winding, the Infinity Drive that greatly reduces sliding resistance by revising the support structure realizes aggressive winding even under high load. The power of Stradic SW that does not flinch even against large fish leads you to victory in the big fight.

An ironclad waterproof structure that maintains initial performance for a long period of time
In saltwater games, the intrusion of seawater is as much of a threat as the power of the target. Seawater that gets inside the reel corrodes the metal parts and significantly reduces the initial performance. To prevent such a situation from happening, Shimano has placed an ironclad waterproof structure in each part. One of them, X-Shield, applies strong sealing to various places such as the mating surface between the body and the lid, the spool, and the drag knob contact area to block the intrusion of water. In addition, the stopper bearing part and the line roller part, which require higher waterproof performance, use the contact-type waterproof mechanism X-Protect. It achieves the waterproof standard equivalent to IPX8 and meets the harsh challenges of anglers.

X-Protect for Line Roller
The new Stradic SW is equipped with an X-Protect structure on the stopper bearing and the line roller, further improving waterproofing. As with the stopper bearing, the structure has evolved to withstand high water pressure by physically blocking the intrusion of seawater with a seal material. The bearing inside the line roller is protected from harsh environments, and the durability of the bearing is more than 10 times* better than conventional products.
