Shimano Ultegra FC
The Shimano Ultegra FC is the evolution of one of Shimano's most popular mid-priced reels. Now equipped with many of the latest features from the top models such as the Stella , it offers impressive performance. With HAGANE Gear , MicroModule II , X-Ship and Silent Drive , it ensures sensational line lay and smooth running.
The X-Protect protects the line roller and the anti-reverse mechanism from water ingress. This increases the longevity of the reel. For long casts, the Ultegra is equipped with a long stroke spool and the AR C spool design . This allows the line to slide smoothly off the reel during the cast. Thanks to the Ci4+ body, the reel is extremely light. This guarantees long and fatigue-free fishing times.
The Ci4+ body of the Ultegra FC is protected from water by Coreprotect technology . This keeps the gears safe and free of play. In terms of price-performance ratio, this reel is hard to beat. If you are looking for a high-quality spinning reel in the mid-price segment, the Ultegra FC is the right choice.
