Shimano Ultegra FC Spinning Reels
Heavily upgraded for 2021 the Shimano Ultegra FC Spinning Reels seek to outclass their competition with features and technologies previously unheard of in their price bracket. These feature-packed reels spare no expense in maximizing performance. From the lightweight and highly rigid CI4+ composite ...frame to the cold-forged Hagane Gear with MicroModule II technology the Ultegra FC is built to perform and keep on going. By borrowing SilentDrive technology from Shimano reels well above its price point these reels boast an impressive rotational smoothness thanks to improved gear meshing and a reduction in overall play in construction. The implementation of X-Protect technology certifies the Ultegra FC as more than capable of holding up in punishing saltwater environments making it a worthy choice for freshwater and inshore anglers alike. For final touches of refinement features such as the Long Stroke Spool and a one-piece bail allow for smooth and efficient line management by reducing friction on casts and eliminating possible tangles during bail operation. The Ultegra FC is a versatile reel for all anglers in a wide variety of fisheries and is by far one of the most feature-rich reels in its class.

Love this reel. Likely will get another in a different size. But wish spare spools were available so I can switch lines easily without having to carry additional rods (I fish mostly by walking streambanks or lake shorelines and not convenient to carry multiple rods).
Awesome reel

Reely nice! Just as smooth as my Stradic. A true underdog reel in Shimanos lineup.

Just ordered and received my new Shimano Ultegra FC 2500. This is now my highest end reel I have. Out of the box the look and feel of this reel is amazing. Well balanced, smooth action, I will be getting another one soon. Tackle Direct delivery was fast, arrived a day earlier than expected to my happy surprise. 2021 model thank you TD will be back soon. Thanks Eric
