Shimano Ultegra 2500HG FC Spinning Reel – Performance Refined

Engineered for versatility and built to endure, the Shimano Ultegra 2500HG FC combines cutting-edge technology and refined design to deliver exceptional performance for anglers of all levels. With a sleek, lightweight CI4+ composite body and ultra-durable cold-forged Hagane Gear, the Ultegra is designed to handle everything from freshwater lakes to coastal saltwater battles.

Smooth Power with Precision Engineering

At its core, the Ultegra features MicroModule Gear II and SilentDrive technologies, enhancing gear engagement and minimizing internal movement for a smoother, quieter, and more efficient retrieve. The result is improved sensitivity and consistent performance cast after cast.

Saltwater Ready Durability

Outfitted with Shimano’s X-Protect system, this reel is built to withstand the elements. A water-repellent coating and labyrinth water-channeling structure keep internal components dry while preserving light, responsive rotation—making it a solid choice for saltwater, brackish, and freshwater use alike.

Effortless Line Management

The One-Piece Bail and Propulsion Line Management System reduce friction, prevent tangles, and ensure smooth line flow. Aero Wrap II further boosts casting distance by laying line evenly with a precise crisscross pattern, minimizing friction during the cast for longer, more accurate presentations.
