The Beastmaster 14000 is the entry-level Shimano BigPit reel aimed at novice anglers who want to take their carp or surf fishing to the next level, or for those on a tighter budget. Featuring technologies derived directly from more expensive Shimano models, such as Super Slow 5 oscillation and Parallel Body, the Beastmaster is an excellent medium to long-range casting reel.
With a name like Beastmaster you can be sure this tough, large reel will live up to your expectations. Offering excellent value for money, if you are new to long-range fishing, or want a second reel for carp or surf fishing, the Beastmaster is the right choice. While not high-end, the Beastmaster certainly has an attractive cosmetic, with the same G Free Body silhouette as Shimano's flagship reels. The Super Slow 5 oscillation and Parallel Body help maximize casting distance, regardless of your experience or ability.
Even though the Beastmaster is Shimano’s cheapest reel, it still contains a good amount of advanced technologies. The Super Slow 5 oscillation line-lay is still the default line-lay other reels are judged by, and the AR-C spool design is exactly the same profile found on Shimano’s top long-range reels. Both these features help increase casting distance. In use you will appreciate the smoothness and power of the HAGANE gear, whilst the 4.3:1 retrieve ratio, with a massive 103cm of line per crank, ensures the Beastmaster is as good at retrieving quickly as it is at casting. For better fishing action, thanks to the Instant Drag, you can quickly adjust the maximum 20kg drag with a single turn of the drag knob, always keeping direct control.
