The Reel
The Shimano Ultegra 4000XG FC Spinning Reel 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 combination 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 minimise 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 Rod
The favourite Backbone series of rods just got an overhaul. The new Shimano Backbone Spinning Soft Bait Rod is now stronger than ever, with a higher quality blank, good quality componentry and a new slick design that is bound to please.

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.
