Shimano Ultegra

Yes, this reel is designed to handle both freshwater and light saltwater environments. However, be sure to rinse it thoroughly with fresh water after any saltwater use to maintain the internal components.

A 5.1 gear ratio offers a balanced retrieve speed that is versatile enough for many techniques. It provides enough power for controlled retrieves without being too slow for lures that require a bit of pace.

At 180 grams, this is a very lightweight reel. Its design is specifically intended to reduce fatigue, making it a comfortable choice for anglers who spend long days on the water.

The Ultegra features refined internal components that prioritize consistent line lay. This helps minimize tangles and ensures smoother, more accurate casts during your retrieve.

The maximum drag force is 3.0 kg. This capacity is well-suited for light-to-medium fishing applications, providing enough stopping power for most freshwater species and smaller saltwater fish.
