Product Information
Full details
The Spomb Rapide Reel - 14000 is designed for dedicated carp and specimen anglers who prioritize efficiency during baiting and spodding applications. Its primary benefit is a high-speed retrieval rate of 145cm per turn, which significantly reduces the physical effort required for repetitive baiting sessions. A notable caveat is its weight of 653g, which may feel substantial for anglers accustomed to lighter specialized reels, though this mass is essential for the durability required during heavy-duty spodding.

FAQs
How much line does the 14000 spool hold?
It is designed to hold 300m of 0.18mm diameter braid.
Is this reel suitable for playing fish?
While the reel is engineered for spodding, its 18kg drag system is powerful enough to handle fish, though it is optimized for high-speed retrieval tasks.
What is the gear ratio of this reel?
The Spomb Rapide 14000 features a 5.7:1 gear ratio.
Does it come with spare spools?
The reel is supplied as a single unit; check with your retailer for specific regional package contents.
How heavy is the reel?
The total weight of the reel is 653g.
Why are there two line clips on the spool?
The two sprung clips allow you to mark two different distances, making it easier to bait multiple fishing spots without needing to re-clip your line.
Troubleshooting
Line twisting or bunching on the spool
Check that the line is being wound under consistent tension and verify the spool has not been overfilled beyond the recommended capacity.
Handle feeling stiff during retrieval
Ensure the drag is properly adjusted and that the handle is tightened securely; if the issue persists, remove the spool to check for debris in the oscillation track.
Line clip snagging during the cast
Ensure the line is correctly seated in the clip and not being forced under the spring mechanism during the initial part of the retrieve.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Exceptionally fast retrieval rate reduces fatigue

- Dual line clips facilitate accurate multi-spot baiting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, start by backing the spool with a sufficient amount of mono if not filling entirely with 300m of braid. When attaching your braid, ensure the line clips are engaged correctly to avoid damaging the line. For care, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth after sessions, particularly after use in sandy or silty environments. Avoid submerging the reel in water, as internal bearings should remain clean of grit. Periodically check the handle connection and ensure the bail arm clicks fully into place after every cast to maintain the longevity of the oscillation gears.
