The Reel
The new Shimano Ultegra 2500HG FC Spinning Reel is a feature-packed powerhouse, offering premium performance for the avid angler. Ruggedly designed from cover to core with a hint of elegance, this reel combines Shimano's CI4+ composite body with cold-forged HAGANE gear to deliver extreme durability and sensitivity with less weight. The MicroModule Gear II and SilentDrive technologies improve gear mesh and minimize overall play in construction for improved reel performance.

Built with enhanced protection against corrosion, Ultegra incorporates Shimano's X-Protect technology, making it the easy choice for anglers seeking utility in fresh, brackish and saltwater environments. As a final touch, this impressive reel features a seamless one-piece bail that allows your line to travel smoothly onto the line roller, reducing friction and minimizing tangles. A reel for all anglers and any situation. The Shimano Ultegra 2500HG FC Spinning Reel is packed full of high-quality Shimano features to get you equipped for gruelling battles in the waters.

Aero Wrap II
This two-speed oscillation system layers the line onto the spool in a crisscross pattern that reduces line-to-line friction for longer casts. Aero Wrap reels utilize worm gear design to move the spool upward quickly and downward slowly to wind the line in a precise pattern, reducing friction and delivering smoother, longer casting ability.

HAGANE Gear
With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of the reel. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives you the long-lasting smoothness and pleasure that you feel when you first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear. 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 ensured resilience. It's the fruit of Shimano's inexhaustible pursuit for durability.

X-Protect
By combining Shimano's water repellent coating with expertly designed, water channelling labyrinth construction, X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation.

One-Piece Bail
One-Piece Bail allows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. Its seamless design reduces friction and the chance of tangles or cuts to the bail arm.

The Rod
The favourite Backbone series of rods just got an overhaul. The new Shimano Backbone Trout Spinning Rod is now stronger than ever, with a higher quality blank, good quality componentry and a new slick design that is bound to please.

EVA Full Grips
Customised EVA grips, shaped for maximum comfort and performance.

Graphite Blank
Utilising high quality graphite sheets rolled on custom designed mandrels, a sensitive yet extremely lightweight performance fishing blank is created.

Graphite Composite
Rod blanks combining both graphite and fibreglass materials in a particular manner can create a blank with characteristics that are best of both worlds, making a rod that has fibreglass robustness with the power of graphite.
