The Shimano ULTEGRA FD is one of our most popular spinning reels. Part of the Coresolid reel family, known for its powerful performance, the ULTEGRA is the perfect mid-range reel. This model features high-end reel technologies that deliver strength, durability, and smoothness.
If you're looking for a reel with powerful yet smooth performance, the ULTEGRA is an excellent choice. An elegant dark blue Ci4+ body with a gold ARC spool gives this reel a truly luxurious look. It also features advanced reel technologies derived from the STELLA – Shimano's flagship reel.
What sets Coresolid reels apart is the construction of the body and gears. As the smaller sibling of the renowned STRADIC, you can be sure this reel is powerful enough for the most demanding situations. The use of high-quality materials increases the reel's durability, strength, and overall performance, but it comes with a slight weight penalty compared to a Magnumlite (finesse) reel. Ideal for power fishing techniques such as jigging, cranking, spinners, etc.

The ULTEGRA is packed with Shimano reel technologies including: HAGANE Gear, Micro Module II, X-SHIP, Silent Drive, INFINITYXROSS and INFINITYDRIVE, all perfectly packaged in a durable, lightweight CI4+ body. This combination ensures a powerful, silky smooth retrieve, even under pressure. X-Protect offers exceptional water resistance, making the ULTEGRA suitable for sea bass fishing as well as all freshwater applications.
The extra-high AR-C Long Stroke spool delivers greater casting distance, and the ANTI-TWIST Fin ensures smooth casting, eliminating slack around the bail arm during stop-and-go techniques. With its advanced technology, the ULTEGRA is a reliable companion that performs in a wide range of fishing situations.
