Built with technology found on Shimano’s high-end models, the ULTEGRA is designed to deliver exceptional performance without breaking the bank. Whether you’re a dedicated angler or an enthusiast seeking a quality reel upgrade, the ULTEGRA offers a rare blend of power, durability, and affordability.
If you're looking for a sleek, high-performing reel that won’t break the bank, the ULTEGRA is an irresistible upgrade. With its elegant design and understated colour, the ULTEGRA exudes style while boasting advanced technology typically reserved for Shimano's top-tier reels like the Stella — all at a price that feels almost too good to be true.
Durability and Performance
As a proud member of Shimano’s Coresolid family, the ULTEGRA FC combines serious durability with refined sophistication, making it more than capable of handling whatever challenges you throw its way, especially when fishing high-resistance lures. Its resilience, paired with Shimano’s signature smoothness and reliability, makes the ULTEGRA an ideal choice for anglers who want to experience premium features in a beautifully crafted, mid-priced reel.
Advanced Shimano Technologies
The ULTEGRA is loaded with Shimano's top-tier technologies, such as HAGANE Gear, Micro Module II, X-SHIP, Silent Drive, INFINITYXROSS, and INFINITYDRIVE, all perfectly combined within a durable, lightweight CI4+ body. This combination delivers powerful, silky-smooth winding that feels rock-solid under pressure.
Water Resistance and Line Management
X-Protect provides exceptional water resistance, making the ULTEGRA versatile enough for light rock fishing, saltwater Sea Bass lure fishing, and all freshwater applications. The Long Stroke AR-C spool adds increased casting distance, and the inclusion of ANTI-TWIST Fin ensures excellent line management, preventing slack line around the bail arm when jerking lures.
With its advanced technology and adaptable design, the ULTEGRA is a revolution of affordable technology that never fails to impress and delivers reliable performance across a wide variety of fishing situations.
