Shimano Ultegra FC 1000 Spinning Reel
High-End Performance in a Compact Package
The Shimano Ultegra FC 1000 Spinning Reel brings top-tier features and technology to anglers of all skill levels. Engineered with a blend of rugged strength and refined style, this reel combines a lightweight yet rigid CI4+ composite body with Shimano’s cold-forged HAGANE Gear system — delivering long-lasting durability, enhanced sensitivity, and reduced weight.
Smooth and quiet operation is guaranteed through MicroModule Gear II and SilentDrive, which minimize internal play and improve gear engagement for an ultra-refined feel. Whether you're fishing freshwater, brackish, or inshore saltwater, Shimano’s X-Protect technology offers advanced water resistance to protect critical components from corrosion without compromising smoothness.
The Ultegra FC 1000 also includes a seamless one-piece bail, which allows line to move smoothly to the roller, minimizing friction and tangles. With features usually found in higher-end reels, this compact reel is built to handle any situation — making it a dependable choice for all-around fishing.
