The Reel
The Shimano Ultegra 4000FB XG Spinning Reel is simply a delight to use, with better balance in the hand. It’s designed using X-Ship technology, which not only makes the fishing experience much more enjoyable with ultra-smooth retrieves but also gives you more grunt when cranking in those larger saltwater species. Whether you’re casting light Rapala lures to Trout, softbaiting the wash or micro-jigging for Snapper, the Shimano Ultegra 4000FB XG Spinning Reel eats it up!

S-ARB bearings
These bearings have been through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearing’s rotation.

Cold forged aluminium spool
The spool provides increased strength and durability over diecast aluminium or graphite spools

Power Roller II
This is an oversized line roller that reduces twist from casting and retrieving and is enhanced with a tapered area on the support to help line get onto the roller quicker.

X-ship
Together with the Hagane cold-forged drive gear, Shimano combined X-Ship technology which results in a smooth, powerful and durable reel. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This means that the gears will stay in position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This will enhance the casting performance of the reel with lighter lures, and allow for longer casts.

AR-C spool management system
Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations, it has been determined that this new AR-C spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast, which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer casts with less friction.

Hagane gear
Hagane gear is at the very heart of the reel and creates strength and durability. The entire cold-forging process is calculated in minute detail by special 3D design and the result is precision durability.

The Rod
One of Shimano’s most popular rod series, is back with a fresh new look and feel. The Shimano Shadow X Spinning Rod is redesigned to meet your expectations of having the latest rod technology in your hands. The Shadow X is now built using a stronger T45 blank, while still achieving the same crisp actions and incorporating benchmark Fuji guides and reel seat.
