The new Shimano Ultegra Ci4+ long cast surf reels combines all of the latest Shimano technologies to provide the ultimate long distance surf casting performance. Combining Ci4+ construction, X-Protect water resistance, and Hagane gearing provides surf fisherman with a highly rigid and durable option in the most unforgiving environments. With two sizes available in the new Ultegra Ci4+ long cast surf spinning reels, you will be hard pressed to find another spinning reel capable of providing further casts to get to the fish. The 14000 size also features Super Slow 5 Oscillation, creating a near perfect line lay and allows the line to fly off the spool effortlessly on your casts, which greatly maximizes the reel�s casting distance to the next level. Both sizes come with two spare spools to allow for quick changing of line type in order to adapt to different conditions, techniques, and locations.

THE ONLY THING BETTER THAN ONE IS TWO !!!

Awesome Reel !!!! I am a loyal person and want to personally thank John Vaughn and Jay Caldwell and the team at Tackle Direct for years of amazing service. I bought one of these reels to pair on a St Croix Legend 11 ft Surf Rod for the striper run in the Potomac this year. First of all it comes to my house the next day and I immediately hit the river. Man does this setup fly !!!!!! People were literally stopping what they were doing to watch me cast. Using a 3oz buck tail or 4oz spoon I was instantly amazed !!! Used it with a 5 oz sinker and blood worms and I was able to get it 3x further than the fisherman around me. I was so impressed I ordered another Shimano Ultegra CI4 5500 and St Croix Legend Rod the next day !!!! I have around 60 Shimano reels and am usually a bait caster guy but this instantly has become one of the smoothest, farthest casting, as well as sensitive combos I have ever fished with. And paired together just looks so sexy !!!! #tackledirect #shimano

Casts a mile, holds up to salty surf, strong as hell....what more could you want?

Well, frankly, I wish I could give it 4.5 stars because a surf reel with 44 pounds of drag, where folks might be targeting big bull reds, sharks, stripers, etc. . . . it really ought to have a better handle option. Don't get me wrong - the handle is totally strong. Not flimsy at all. But I do prefer the more grabby egg-shaped that come on the Stradic 8000s for example. Paired with a 12' Shimano Tiralejo, I can easily hit the second gut. With some practice, I have no doubt I'll be able to cast 4 oz 150 yards. Shimano's usual peerless fit and finish, excellent engineering, and you have a winner. If you'd been thinking about the Saragosa due to its sealed body and strength, take a look at this if you're mostly into surf fishing. I'm saving for another.

ProsCasts a mile, lightweight, smooth as butter, 44 pound drag, smooth drag, sealed,

ConsDon't like the T-handle on a reel built for busting big surf fish.

Shimano Smooth

Ultegra 14000 a very smooth lightweight reel. So far I have taken it out several times just casting . IT does cast far but as with any other reel its only as good as your skill. With that said casting is effortless and the retrieve is very smooth. I really like the feel of this reel just waiting to give it the real test with a striper or blue on .

ProsSmooth lightweight.

ConsNone so far .

Does the 5500 size reel have slow oscillation?

1 Answers

Yes it does. They both have a slow spool oscillation system, the oscillation on the 14000 is even slower than the 5500.
