Product Review

The new Ultegra series spinning reels include a HAGANE Gear for incredible durability, X-SHIP technology for increased smoothness and efficiency, Aero Wrap Oscillation for perfect line winding and longer casting, and Core Protect for water resistance without a heavy rotation feeling. To the fisherman, these features work together to create a reel that responds quickly and positively in a wide variety of fishing situations.From an angling perspective, every individual who has owned and enjoyed using Shimano tackle has a reason to thank a Japanese visionary named Shozaburo Shimano, who in 1921 declared "I aim to make Shimano's products the best in Kansai, then the best in Japan, and finally the best in the world."For over 80 years, Shimano has concentrated on precision engineering, one step at a time. Creating the most innovative products and processes you can hold in your hand today.
