About this product
Spinning Fishing Reel – in stock at 361 Degrees Adventure in Tanzania.
The 4000 is the size most people use most, and the Ultegra is where that size gets properly engineered. Three things separate it from the Sedona a tier below. The body is CI4+, a carbon-reinforced composite with the rigidity of aluminium at much less weight and no possibility of corrosion. The gears are MicroModule II – more teeth, each finer, so more of them are in mesh at any moment, which is what takes the last trace of grain out of the retrieve. And X-SHIP carries the pinion gear on bearings at both ends, keeping it in line with the drive gear even at full drag, which is precisely when cheaper reels start to feel rough.
The plain 4000 is geared at 5.3:1 for 87 cm per crank, which is the balanced middle: quick enough for lure work, with more torque than a high-geared reel when you are winding a fish in against a current. Maximum drag is 11 kg and the spool holds 490 metres of PE 1 or 180 metres of 0.30 mm mono.
SilentDrive tightens the internal tolerances so the reel is quiet and feels solid, and X-Protect gives water-repellent protection at the line roller. It is not a sealed SW-series reel, so rinse and dry it after any sea session.
Shimano make the same size as a 4000XG at 6.2:1 and 101 cm per crank if you want faster pickup, and a newer FD generation exists in which the 4000 appears as a 4000XGD at 265 g. Ask us which we have in stock.
