Key Product Features and Technologies

The Ultegra FC reel is engineered with several of Shimano’s premier technologies to enhance performance, durability, and casting distance:

HAGANE Gear: Produced by Shimano’s cold-forging technology, this main gear provides long-lasting smoothness, strength, and durability right at the core of the reel.
MicroModule Gear II: An advanced gear tooth surface design that improves gear mesh, resulting in a super-smooth reeling feel and minimized sound.
X-SHIP: A feature that provides improved gear durability by supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, maintaining precise alignment with the drive gear for greater efficiency and power transfer under heavy loads.
Silent Drive: A comprehensive redesign of the functional parts to eliminate minute rattles, gaps, and shaking, providing quiet and smooth reel rotation.
CI4+ Body (Carbon Interfusion): A lightweight and rigid carbon fiber reinforced resin material that reduces the reel’s overall weight and ensures a well-balanced feel.
G-Free Body: Shifts the reel’s center of gravity closer to the rod, reducing fatigue and enhancing casting comfort.
X-Protect: Provides high-level water resistance by combining a water-repellent treatment with a labyrinth structure, protecting the line roller and clutch, and extending the reel’s longevity.
Long Stroke Spool: A longer spool design compared to conventional models that helps line flow more freely during the cast for improved casting distance.
AR-C Spool: A patented spool design with an angled spool lip that allows the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils, resulting in longer and more accurate casts while helping to prevent backlashes and wind knots.
Cross Carbon Drag: This drag material provides a wider range of settings, exceptionally smooth drag release, and excellent durability.
S A-RB Bearings: High corrosion-resistant ball bearings with shields on both sides to prevent salt, sand, or dust from inhibiting rotation.
One-Piece Bail: A seamless design that reduces friction and decreases the chance of line catching on the bail arm
