The sleeping giant rests no longer. The new Ultegra is a feature-packed powerhouse, offering premium performance for all anglers. Ruggedly designed from cover to core with a hint of elegance in design, the marriage of Shimano's CI4+ composite body and cold-forged HAGANE Gear provides extreme durability and sensitivity with less weight. MicroModule Gear II and SilentDrive technologies improve gear mesh and minimize overall play in construction to provide increased reel performance. Improving upon standard protection against corrosion, Ultegra incorporates Shimano's X-Protect technology and makes it the easy choice for anglers seeking utility in fresh, brackish and saltwater environments. For a final touch of refinement, Ultegra features a seamless one-piece bail that allows line to travel unimpeded onto the line roller, reducing friction and limiting tangles. A reel for all anglers and any situation, the new Ultegra is loaded with high-quality Shimano features for increased performance.
- Aero Wrap II - This two-speed oscillation system layers the line onto the spool in a precise crisscross pattern that reduces line-to-line friction for longer casts. Reels with Aero-Wrap II technology utilize a patented worm gear design to move the spool upward quickly and downward slowly to wind the line in a precise pattern, reducing friction and giving anglers smoother and longer casting ability
- CI4+ - CI4 is a Shimano original material reinforced with carbon fibre that is lighter and has a higher strength than conventional resin material. CI4+ is an advanced version of the original CI4 material and is 2.5x more rigid than its predecessor. While improving lightness and rigidity, reel bodies and rotors built with CI4+ are further reduced in size and weight
- Cross Carbon Drag - The Cross Carbon Drag material provides a wider range of drag settings compared to traditional drag materials. These Cross Carbon Drag provides the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever while providing anglers with increased durability
- G-Free Body - G-Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's centre of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the centre gravity closer to the angler's hand, the G-Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort
- Hagane Gear - With amazing strength and durability, the Hagane Gear is at the very heart of most Shimano reel. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives anglers the long-lasting smoothness and pleasure thats is felt when anglers first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear during fabrication, instead the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by special 3D-design and then formed by Shimano's cold-forging technology. The result is assured resilience. Hagane Gear is the fruit of Shimano's inexhaustible pursuit for durability - the strength and power of forged metal continues to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels
- Long Stroke Spool - The Long Stroke Spool has a longer stroke compared to conventional spool designs. This ultimately produces a smoother line lay during retrieval and translates into increased casting distance for anglers
- Micromodule Gear II - Shimano's exclusive manufacturing technology further advances MicroModule Gear II with a state-of-the-art gear-tooth surface design. The surfaces of the drive gear and pinion gear have been analyzed and updated from the ground up in Shimano's pursuit of perfection to further improve the smooth gear feeling and reducing sound
- One-Piece Bail - One-Piece Bail allows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. The seamless design reduces friction and decreases the chance of tangles or the line catching on the bail arm
- Propulsion Line Management System - The most obvious component of the Propulsion Line Management System is the new Propulsion Spool Lip design. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, Shimano's new spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while also preventing backlashes and wind knots form forming
- S A-RB - S A-RB bearing are put through the same process as Shimano's A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. The shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting rotation of the bearing
- SilentDrive - SilentDrive technology benefits from a total redesign of all functional parts focused on the drive gear, worm shaft and other parts. The goal: remove unnecessary noise and vibration. In doing so, the overall tolerances are improved to a micron level, ultimately creating an overall quieter and smoother reel operation
- X-Protect - X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation. By combining Shimano's water-repellant coating with a water-channeling labyrinth construction, X-Protect provides added durability in tough conditions
- X-Ship - X-Ship provides improves gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit of X-Ship technology is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This further benefits anglers with enhanced casting performance and casting distance of lighter lures.
