SHIMANO 24 BEASTMASTER 14000XC SPIN REEL

Shimano 24 Beastmaster XC Spin Reel – Power, Distance & Durability for Surf Anglers

The Shimano 24 Beastmaster XC Spin Reel is engineered for anglers chasing performance, distance, and strength in the surf at an affordable price point. Designed with many of Shimano’s advanced technologies found in higher-end reels, the Beastmaster XC is perfect for mid to long-range surf fishing where control, casting distance, and durability are essential.

Featuring Super Slow 5 Oscillation, the reel lays line evenly across the spool to maximise casting performance and reach those distant gutters where big tailor, salmon, or mulloway are feeding. The Parallel Body design reduces line slap against the blank, improving line flow and accuracy, while the AR-C Spool design ensures fewer tangles and smoother release during the cast.

Backed by Shimano’s HAGANE Gear system, the Beastmaster XC provides long-lasting strength and smoothness under heavy loads. A maximum drag of 20kg gives anglers confidence when fighting large fish in tough surf conditions, while SilentDrive and G Free Body technology enhance comfort and reduce fatigue during extended sessions.

Reliable, powerful, and built for surf fishing, the Shimano 24 Beastmaster XC Spin Reel is an excellent choice for anglers who want premium features without the premium price tag.
