Shimano Ultegra XR XTD XR XTD 14000
The Ultegra XR is the flagship model in Shimano’s popular Ultegra Big-Pit reel range. Equipped with the latest long-cast technology, including Rigid Cast, this super-light 14000-series Big-Pit reel has been designed for long-range casting. In addition to its impressive casting performance, it also stands out thanks to a high-quality gear system that maintains smooth operation even under heavy load. The Ultegra XR is positioned in the mid-price segment and offers excellent value for money. A glance at the specifications clearly shows that this is a high-quality and serious long-range Big-Pit reel. With its understated design, large spool, compact Ci4+ composite body and some of Shimano’s best long-range casting technologies, the Ultegra XR certainly doesn’t fall short in terms of features.
In use, its low weight is a definite plus, particularly when casting distance is pushed to the limit. In use, its low weight makes a very positive difference, particularly when casting distance is pushed to the limit. Furthermore, the reel’s low weight allows the rod tip to accelerate more powerfully during the cast, which, in combination with Shimano’s other long-range technologies, such as Rigid Cast, further optimises casting distance. Inside the lightweight Ci4+ G FREE body lies a combination of HAGANE Gear, X-SHIP, INFINITY DRIVE and SILENT DRIVE, ensuring smooth and powerful rotation even when the gear system is subjected to heavy loads during the fight.
In addition, Shimano’s long-range technologies, such as Super Slow 5 Oscillation, Parallel Body and Rigid Cast, ensure greater casting distance and maximum precision. To enable consistent performance in all weather conditions, X-Protect technology prevents water from entering the reel’s moving parts. The Ultegra XR is also equipped with a Hi-Speed Drag, which can be tightened or loosened with a minimal turn of the drag knob to maintain control at all times during the fight.

Safety instructions:
“ - Handle hooks with care: Always cover the fishing hooks or remove them from the rods for transportation. Use corks or hook covers to avoid accidental injury.
- Keep your distance: Fish at least 10 meters away from others to avoid accidents. Watch out for people behind you before casting. Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
- Carbon fiber rods conduct electricity. Do not use them during thunderstorms or near power lines.
- Never try to pull lures or leaders out of trees or bushes by applying pressure to the rod and fishing line. This can result in the bait/lead being catapulted towards the angler. Use only your hands to free the bait/lead.
- Train beginners: Instruct children and beginners in the safe handling of rods and hooks to minimize risks.
- Safety distance: Always keep a distance of at least six meters from high-voltage power lines when carrying or using fishing rods.
- Avoid high sticking: Do not bend your rod too much while you are drilling a fish, which is known as “high sticking. Hold the rod at a maximum loading angle of 45 to 60 degrees to avoid breakage.
- Aligning the rod for snags: If your lure snags, keep the rod pointed at the hook while walking backwards to reduce the strain on the rod.
- Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
