I figured that could be the case Luke which is why I tempered my comments with the caveat "assuming that table is correct".

On the other hand, the scans posted by Alan Hawk seem to be from a brochure!  Maybe things got lost in translation?

Hey Luke,
Do you know when it's release will be?
Cheers

Sent this link to Alan Hawk, he said he can't see it without membership, so sent him the text. Answer

----Hello there,

Thanks for your email. I'm not sure if the gentleman was referring to me, but if so then unfortunately he's incorrect. The 14000 model is real, and you don't need to wait for "official specification" since my table happens to be Shimano's official release posted in Salt World magazine Volume 98 that hits the markets on the 15th. Here is a mobile phone shot of the table in that magazine.

Hope this answers your questions.

Adrian,

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve here? Where did I state the 14000 wasn't real?

Also, please avoid pasting all these external links and posting correspondence. He is welcome to join and have contribution.

Agreed and understand Mark.

I'm not sure of the domestic schedule, usually it is unveiled in August.

In Japan, likely to be February/March in line with the Major Exhibitions.

[Adrian Braun]

Sorry luke, didn't know I shouldn't post links! All understood. 

[Dan Konig]

I certainly hope it is February rather than March - and more importantly that Sansui have stock during the second week of February

Hey Dan! Wishful thinking! Usually it's the new flag ship models are unveiled at these exhibitions and tackle shows. But you never know - you could get lucky!

[Mark Gwynne]

So Luke are you allowed to comment on the table of weights as that appears to have been released? It shows the new models to be heavier than the current ones.
Thanks.

I just watched the video in the previous posts...appears that it also has another gear for slow oscillation, maybe similar to the Kisu and Aero range 

[Wan Izhan]

Argh!!!Need to topup the piggy bank!!!
Hopefully to reach Malaysia before Hallaniyat trip 2014!!!
somebody, please planned 1 14kXG and 1 18kHG for my 2013 christmas gift!!!

Hey Guys,

From the videos/pics looks like the bail arm/assy is still the same..






Looks like there is more alloy in the bottom of the spool (where the plastic cover used to be) this carries all the way to the rotor arms (should be more rigid than the current model)






Includes another gear for slow oscillation (can also see this the provision made in the cover - photo above) may also increase bearing count if supported by bearings






Main shaft and pinion appear the same - side plate of different design - one piece handle should be better - beefier main gear than the current one.






More resistant coating etc and redisgned spool lip should be good also...

Clem,


Ooh, Ahh.

Great photos by the way. The best detail yet.

You'll be getting mine straight from the box.


Regards,


Trevor

I note that on Rayanne's website they are running out the current model and stating that the new model will be available in in Aus in April. Could be that we don't have that long to wait?!

"Shimano Stella SW
New Model Due This April
- Will be around 20% More Expensive...
Last Chance To Grab a High Performance Bargain ....."

[George Relf]

Love it Clem. Mr  indeed with your sleuth detective work 

Interesting with Ray & Anne's stating ~20% more. I guess they haven't pulled it out of thin air?

Here's another one no-one has picked up or I have missed ... the handle. In some pics/vids it is yellow and in others it is silver.

In one of the pics from the magazine Alan pulled out, there are two stellas side by side with one having gold and the other having silver. Will it depend on the size of the reel or will Japan get silver and others get gold or the other way around?
