SHIMANO ULTEGRA 2500 FB FISHING REEL

Shimano's new Ultegra 2500 FB reel looks ideal for all float, light feeder and lure fishing applications.

In eye-catching silver and gold livery, it offers superb winding power thanks to the state-of-the-art cold forging technology used in its Hagane gearing system.

The reel lacks a backwind facility, but this shouldn’t been seen as a negative, since its superb precision front drag system – itself a work of art – can be instantly adjusted and relied upon to safely control any hard-fighting fish.

The Ultegra boasts many other key Shimano features, including the latest G Free body technology.

This shifts the reel’s centre of gravity closer to the rod, reducing hand fatigue and making casting more comfortable.

The stiff XT-7 body material offers perfect protection and support for the Hagane gears, X-Ship line-lay system and shielded A-RB bearings, allowing them to work to maximum efficiency.
