DESCRIPTION

The Ultegra FD spinning reel offers dependable performance and smooth power in a durable CoreSolid design, all at a price point that makes premium Shimano technologies more accessible. Its updated internal build includes InfinityXross, a gear enhancement that expands the surface area of the cold-forged HAGANE gear teeth. This spreads out the force load to reduce pressure points, helping to minimize wear and extend the reel’s life.

For effortless cranking under pressure, InfinityDrive reduces friction between the spool shaft and pinion gear, resulting in smoother, more efficient winding. The Anti-Twist Fin — made from a flexible polymer — promotes even line lay and helps prevent wind knots. Designed for versatility, the Ultegra FD also includes Shimano’s X-Protect system, which blocks water intrusion to guard against corrosion in both freshwater and saltwater conditions.

With a solid blend of innovation, strength, and reliability, the Ultegra FD is a smart, long-lasting choice for anglers seeking performance without the premium price tag.
