{"product_id":"shimano-aerlex-14000-xtc-reel","title":"Shimano - Aerlex 14000 XTC Reel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Shimano Aerlex 14000 XTC is a budget-friendly big pit reel that brings a significant amount of Shimano's premium long-range casting technology into an accessible package. Designed for anglers who want genuine distance performance without stepping into the higher price tiers, it draws directly from features found on Shimano's established upper-range reels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core of its casting performance is Super Slow 5 oscillation, which produces an exceptionally parallel line lay that minimises friction as the line leaves the spool. Combined with the Parallel Body design and a cold-forged aluminium AR-C spool, the result is clean, consistent casting with reduced line slap. G Free Body construction repositions the reel's centre of gravity closer to the rod handle, reducing arm fatigue during long sessions and improving balance across the rod and reel setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstant Drag allows the angler to switch from freespool mode to full fighting drag with just half a turn of the drag knob, making it quick to lock up on a running fish without fumbling. Silent Drive technology addresses the internal worm shaft and drive components, reducing play and eliminating noise for a noticeably smooth, quiet retrieve. The wide rotor design further contributes to even, consistent line lay across the full width of the spool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe stealth matte black finish pairs well with Shimano Tribal TX carp rods and keeps the setup understated on the bank. With a line capacity of 0.35mm\/550m, this reel is well suited to large pit and reservoir fishing where reaching distant features is a priority.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer SKU\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25ALX140XTC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGear Ratio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4.3:1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLine Retrieve per Turn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e103cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum Drag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20kg \/ 44lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e630g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBall Bearings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2+1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e90mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLine Capacity (Mono)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.35mm\/550m, 0.40mm\/400m, 0.45mm\/300m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLine Capacity (Braid)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePE6\/350m, PE8\/250m, PE10\/200m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatte Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuper Slow 5 oscillation for friction-reducing parallel line lay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eG Free Body shifts centre of gravity towards the rod to reduce fatigue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParallel Body construction eliminates line slap during the cast\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCold-forged aluminium AR-C spool for casting performance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstant Drag system for fast half-turn switch from freespool to fighting mode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilent Drive for smooth, quiet retrieve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide rotor design for consistent line lay\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAero Wrap II line management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMatte black stealth finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2+1 ball bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e90mm handle arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Shimano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54097369039194,"sku":"25ALX140XTC","price":119.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0965\/5877\/6666\/files\/Shimano-aerlex-14000-xtc-1-2048.jpg?v=1777824563","url":"https:\/\/tackle.city\/products\/shimano-aerlex-14000-xtc-reel","provider":"Tackle City","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
