The Shimano ULTEGRA is the reel that serious anglers reach for when they need tournament-level performance at a price that doesn't require a tournament win to afford. HAGANE Gear durability, X-Ship efficiency, Aero Wrap line management, and Coreprotect water resistance work together to create a reel that responds instantly and positively in any fishing situation — from light freshwater presentations to heavy carp and feeder fishing.

Tournament-Grade Technology

• HAGANE Gear — Shimano's cold-forged gear technology that delivers exceptional durability and smoothness under load — the same gear system used in Shimano's top-tier tournament reels.
• X-Ship Technology — A gear support system that reduces friction between the main and pinion gears for increased smoothness, efficiency, and power transmission on every retrieve.
• Aero Wrap Oscillation — A precise line-winding system that lays line perfectly on the spool for longer casting distances and fewer wind knots — critical for feeder and carp fishing where casting accuracy matters.
• Coreprotect Water Resistance — A water-resistant seal that protects the internal components without adding the heavy rotation feeling of fully sealed reels — smooth performance in rain and splash conditions.
• 5+1 Bearings — Five ball bearings plus one roller bearing for smooth, consistent performance across all retrieve speeds.
• 6.2:1 Gear Ratio — A versatile retrieve speed that handles everything from slow, methodical feeder fishing to fast lure retrieves.
• 7–24 lb Maximum Drag — A wide drag range covering light freshwater presentations through heavy carp and feeder fishing applications.
• Sizes: 2500 / C3000 / 4000 / C5000XG — Four sizes covering light to heavy freshwater and inshore saltwater applications.

Who It's For

Serious freshwater anglers, carp fishers, and feeder anglers who want Shimano's best technology at a price point below the top-tier Stella and Vanquish.
