SHIMANO 21 Ultegra C2000S

Shimano 21 Ultegra is a reliable reel for spinning, including sea fishing. It has the features of high-end reels and is made using technologies that were previously used only in the production of much more expensive reels. These features ensure reliable transmission, durability and functionality of the reel. Ultegra-21 uses G Free Body technology, thanks to which the angler is less tired and it is more comfortable to cast. Rigid but lightweight body made of CI4+ material. Very strong and durable main gear Hagane Gear is made using the unique cold pressure treatment technology developed by Shimano. Micro Module Gear II and Silent Drive ensure smooth operation of the reel even under high load. The elongated Long Stroke Spool in combination with an increased stroke of the rod increases the distance and accuracy of casting compared to conventional reels. The X Protect system provides excellent protection from water without affecting the ease of movement. As a result, these reels work excellently in the most difficult conditions.

HAGANE
Shimano's design philosophy is to use metal processing technology to create products that can truly be used.
Robust enough to be used safely even in harsh conditions. A precise winding feel and a solid feel that stimulates the senses. And winding power beyond imagination. By stubbornly pursuing reels that anglers can truly use, this activity has produced HAGANE gear and HAGANE body, which has become Shimano's belief. Everything is for the angler.

HAGANE gear
The aim was to achieve a winding feel that will never change.
A block of metal is pressed under high pressure and finished with micron-level precision without cutting. A unique technology called precision cold forging creates hard, resilient gears, enabling a smooth winding feel.

Micro module gear II
Light and smooth. An exquisite gear feel.
Micro Module Gear II evolved with cutting-edge tooth surface design and Shimano's unique manufacturing technology. The design of each tooth surface of the gear teeth was reviewed to pursue the ideal tooth shape. It also achieved reduced noise and improved smooth gear feeling.

X Ship
Larger diameter of the drive gear, optimal placement of both pinion and drive gears, and two-point support by pinion gear bearings. The meshing of these robust gears maintains a light reeling that is resistant to load.

Silent Drive
A sense of tranquility and unity that is thorough down to the smallest detail.
The basic design of the entire body and each drive-related part were reviewed one by one, thoroughly eliminating minute play, gaps, and vibrations between parts down to the smallest detail. The areas subject to improvement are diverse, including the drive gear, worm shaft, worm shaft pin, worm shaft gear, and sliding gear. A new dimension of smooth rotation performance and quiet winding feel have been achieved.

X Protect
Shimano's ironclad waterproof structure.
For small and medium-sized general-purpose spinning reels that require lighter rotation, we have focused on a non-contact structure so as not to impair the lightness of rotation. In addition to the conventional water-repellent treatment, a labyrinth structure that prevents water from entering has been combined to achieve high waterproof performance while being non-contact. It is used in the stopper bearing section, line roller section, etc.

G Free Body
The sliding functional parts that move the spool back and forth are placed on the top of the reel body, and we have succeeded in bringing the center of gravity of the entire reel 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 creates a line straightening effect, suppressing line trouble and achieving both long-distance casting performance.

Long Stroke Spool
Long stroke design spool By increasing the width of the spool thread winding section, the amount of line loss in the latter half of the cast can be reduced, contributing to improved casting feeling and distance.

CI4+
A new carbon material that is an evolution of the lightweight carbon material CI4. Its rigidity and durability have been significantly improved while maintaining its lightness, allowing for a smaller, lighter reel.

SA-RB
By applying a special rust-proofing treatment to the bearing itself, its resistance to rust has been significantly improved. The SA-RB also has the sides sealed with a rust-proofing material, significantly reducing salt buildup caused by salt recrystallization inside the bearing.

One-piece veil
We have succeeded in manufacturing a seamless, one-piece molded veil. It is beautiful to look at and trouble-free.
