SHIMANO 21 ULTEGRA FC C5000 XG

SHIMANO 21 ULTEGRA FC C5000 XG

The traditional model has evolved significantly.

Winding, casting, durability, and basic performance are different.

It is generously equipped with mechanisms inherited from higher-end models such as Micro Module Gear II, Long Stroke Spool, Silent Drive, X Protect, etc. With significant improvements in basic performance such as winding, casting, and durability, it will raise the previous fishing to a higher stage. I want you to experience this evolution.

HAGANE - Shimano's design philosophy to make products that can be truly used by making use of metal processing technology.

Robustness that can be used with confidence even in harsh conditions. Exquisite winding and reliable operation feeling that stimulates sensitivity. And the winding power beyond imagination. By honestly seeking a reel that can be used by anglers, the activity creates HAGANE gear and HAGANE body and becomes Shimano's belief. Everything is for anglers.

HAGANE gear - What I aimed for was a winding that will never change. A lump of metal is pressed at high pressure and finished with microns of accuracy without cutting. The unique technology called precision cold forging creates a hard and tenacious gear, enabling smooth winding.

Micromodule Gear II - Mellow and smooth. A gem of gear feel.

Micromodule gear II evolved by Shimano's unique manufacturing technology, the most cutting-edge tooth surface design. Review the design from the gear teeth and each tooth surface, and pursue the ideal tooth shape. We have also achieved a reduction in sound and an improvement in smooth gear feeling.

X Ship - Large diameter of drive gear, optimal placement of both pinion and drive gear, and two-point support with bearing of pinion gear. The bite of these robust gears holds a light reeling that is resistant to load.

Silent drive - A sense of tranquility that is thorough in every detail. Review the basic design of the entire body and drive-related parts one by one, and thoroughly eliminate the fine rattles, gaps, and shaking between the parts. The target areas for improvement include a wide range of drive gears, worm shafts, worm shaft pins, worm shaft gears, and sliding gears. Smooth rotation performance in a new dimension and winding feeling with quietness have been realized.

X Protect - The waterproof structure of the iron wall that Shimano is proud of. For small and medium-sized general-purpose spinning that requires lighter rotation, we stuck to the non-contact structure so as not to damage the rotation lightness. In addition to conventional water repellent treatment, by combining a labyrinth structure that suppresses water intrusion, we have achieved high waterproof performance while being non-contact. It is used in the stopper bearing part, line roller part, etc.

G free body - The sliding function parts for moving the spool back and forth are placed on the top of the reel body, and the center of gravity of the entire reel is successfully brought closer to the hand. This improves the sense of unity with the rod, reduces fatigue caused by casting, and improves rod operability.

AR-C spool - A spool with a special spool ring shape. This created a line rectification effect and realized both line trouble suppression and far throw performance.

Long stroke spool - Spool with long stroke design. By increasing the width of the spool thread winding part, you can reduce the decrease of the line in the second half of the cast, which contributes to the improvement of the cast feeling and flight distance.

CI4+ - A new carbon material that evolved the lightweight carbon material CI4. The rigidity and durability have been greatly improved while keeping the lightness intact, making it possible to reduce the size and weight of the reel.

S A-RB - By applying special anti-rust treatment to the bearing itself, the durability against rust has been greatly improved. S A-RB further seals the sides with anti-rust material, which greatly reduces the salt sting due to salt recrystallization inside the bearing.

One Piece Veil - Succeeded in manufacturing a completely seamless one-piece molded veil. It looks beautiful and trouble-free.
