SHIMANO Ultegra 4000XGFB Spinning Reel | High-Performance Casting & Durability

SHIMANO Ultegra 4000XGFB: refined engineering for versatile fishing

The SHIMANO Ultegra 4000XGFB spinning reel blends a storied hardware lineage with modern tuning. HAGANE Gear provides lasting strength, X-SHIP reduces friction for steadier retrieves, Aero Wrap Oscillation ensures a tight and consistent line lay, and Core Protect guards against water intrusion without adding heavy rotation. Together, these technologies aim to deliver a quick, responsive feel in a wide range of fishing situations—from calm estuaries to brisk offshore outings.

Key technologies

• HAGANE Gear delivers long-lasting strength and smooth, reliable cranking for many sessions.
• X-SHIP minimizes internal friction between the spool shaft and gears for improved casting efficiency.
• Aero Wrap Oscillation creates an even line lay, supporting longer, more accurate casts.
• Core Protect provides water resistance without adding a heavy rotational feel.

On-water potential

• Versatile performance in both inshore and offshore fishing scenarios, with quick response to lure action.
• Lightweight balance (about 10.1 oz) that reduces fatigue during long sessions while maintaining strong drag capabilities.
• Robust max drag of 24 lb and a 6.2:1 gear ratio for confident retrieves with a variety of lures and baits.
• Solid stopping power and smooth line control aided by 4BB + 1RB bearings for stable operation.
