Shimano Ultegra 4000 FC
The totally new Ultegra FB provides excellent efficiency and strength because of the extremely durable HAGANE gear. The Coreprotect feature provides excellent water resistance without creating a heavy rotation feeling. There are three key areas in the Ultegra FB that require protection; the roller clutch, the body, and the line roller. The new Ultegra also features G Free Body technology which has been developed by Shimano to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the anglers hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort. The stiff XT-7 body create the perfect protection and support for the HAGANE gear, X-Ship system, and shielded A-RB bearings to work to their maximum effect and efficiency. The all new Ultegra FB is an eye-catching reel which is engineered to be reliable and longlasting due to the incorporation of Shimano's HAGANE gear, Coreprotect, and G Free Body.

Shimano reel features
Shimano AR-C Spool is a patented spool design with an angled spool lip. This design enables the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils resulting in longer more accurate casts. AR-C spools are proven to reduce backlash and wind knots when using braid.
These spools provide increased strength and durability over diecast aluminum or graphite spools.
This feature eliminates wobble during the retrieve by counter balancing the rotor to enhance sensitivity and smoothness. By using computer balancing, an approach similar to car tire balancing, Shimano is able to redistribute the rotor weight to create smooth rotation and eliminate vibrations caused by the reel.
The M Compact Body is made from a new composite material called XGT-7, which is an improved version of the tried and trusted Shimano XT-7 composite material. The result is a lighter and more rigid body that offers excellent support to the gearing and moving parts of the reel.
Shimano use magnesium for a select number of ultra high quality reels where weight saving is essential. The use of magnesium offers a weight saving of up to 10% compared with aluminium.
The special grooved design of the Shimano Power Roller significantly reduces line twist and is a big advantage when using thin mono and braid.
Easy Maintenance is a small oil lubrication port that enables direct lubrication of the inner workings of a reel with approved Shimano lubricant. Some highend Shimano reels have a line roller lubrication option.
The latest generation of the Super Stopper. It uses a one-way, stainless steel roller bearing that eliminates backplay. This provides the angler with instant hooksetting power.
Varispeed and the latest version called VariSpeed II oscillation system moves with two variable speeds to lay the line flat and smooth onto the spool. This provides trouble-free, longer distant casts.
More than just a support bearing, X-Ship is a combination of a cold forged main gear married with a brass drive gear. The two metals don't eat away at each other, providing longer lasting performance, as well as a smoother, more powerful retrieve.
