Ultegra 14000

[Angler21]

Hey guys

Is anyone using the Shimano Ultegra 14000 for in-eds?

If so, please give an account of your experiences using this reel...

I am looking at " going back to basics" to enjoy the thrill more..

Thanks!!

Noel,
Interesting. Now that will be a thrill of note !

Just as a matter of interest, whats the line capacity of that ?

[Angler21]

Hey Homie

I may be corrected on capacity but I guess its around 300mt or more...

I fished the recent common venue annual meet and there was another angler with this reel and a 1pc rod....this guy was throwing to Australia!!

[Homie]

Will 300m be sufficient for in-eds ???

That, and the drag might be the only downfall ! But will never know unless you try !
I'll be following this !!!

I have been using it for the past 11 months and I must tell you it is very addictive. I no longer own a 20 sized reel anymore as I only use the grinder.

Line capacity is very good. I get 650m on the 14000 spool, thats 350m 50lb whiplash and 300m 50lb jigman x8. On the 10000 spool I have 600m of the 50lb HMP braid which I have been testing and it is actually exceeded my expectations. very nice indeed.

Fishing for in-eds with it is amazing, absolutely love and have caught some very good fish. Biggest being a 68kg spinner shark and a 60kg sandy next up. Countless amount of grey sharks, blue rays and diamonds.

I am going to be in P.E now and over the next 3 weeks am going to be fishing for Raggies with it so will get some pics to show you.

I can answer all the questions you need to know about fishing with this reel and for in-eds with the braid. Just give me a shout if you need more info.

Oh and my mate landed a 96kg honeycombe and a 70.3kg sandy on the grinder both took him under 25min to land.

The drag on the reel is phenonimal...you will pulled into the water if you lock the drag with a good fish...got a better drag than most machine reels

@ Action Man what rod would you recommend with the Ultegra 14000 ?

@ Action Man what rod would you recommend with the Ultegra 14000 ?

There a couple nice rods to use and trust me when I say I have tried them all...

But the best rod iv used to date would have to be the T-Flex/6...stunning rod with a great action and lots of pulling power.

Have tried fishing with hmg rods but you have one bad cast and bang goes the tip. another nice rod is the Assassin medium Std with a heavy tip...that is the rod I used for a few months before i stumbled apon the T-flex.

Mate of mine brought one the Ultegra 14000 along on our recent trip & that thing throw a mile and you can be super accurate with it. There was a big write up about it in one of the mags( cannot recall the name). It was on a springbok angler who was in search of a grinder to do the same job as multipliers or better & the ultegra is what they came up with.
If I was to do some R & S this would be the reel for me.
