Shimano Reel Ultegra FD C5000XG
The Shimano Ultegra FD reel is one of, if not the best reel from Shimano in its price range. Even if it is priced below the best Shimano reels, it still has a few exclusive technologies that are otherwise only known from these high-end reels. This ensures an exceptional combination of durability and performance. Performance is by no means the only factor here, even if it is of course the decisive factor, but the look of this reel is also impressive thanks to the outstanding combination of elegance and simplicity. Equipped with Shimano's top technologies such as Hagane Gear, Micro Module II, X-SHIP, Silent Drive, InfinityXross and InfinityDrive, it offers powerful, silky-smooth crank performance. Combined in the lightweight CI4+ housing, it ensures exceptionally smooth running even under load. X-Protect ensures high water resistance, ideal for light rock fishing, saltwater bass fishing and freshwater applications. The Long Stroke AR-C spool ensures greater casting distances and the Anti-Twist Fin improves line management. The Ultegra offers reliable performance in a variety of fishing situations. Depending on the model, the roller has a different crank head

Safety instructions:
“ - Handle hooks with care: Always cover the fishing hooks or remove them from the rods for transportation. Use corks or hook covers to avoid accidental injury.
- Keep your distance: Fish at least 10 meters away from others to avoid accidents. Watch out for people behind you before casting. Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
- Carbon fiber rods conduct electricity. Do not use them during thunderstorms or near power lines.
- Never try to pull lures or leaders out of trees or bushes by applying pressure to the rod and fishing line. This can result in the bait/lead being catapulted towards the angler. Use only your hands to free the bait/lead.
- Train beginners: Instruct children and beginners in the safe handling of rods and hooks to minimize risks.
- Safety distance: Always keep a distance of at least six meters from high-voltage power lines when carrying or using fishing rods.
- Avoid high sticking: Do not bend your rod too much while you are drilling a fish, which is known as “high sticking. Hold the rod at a maximum loading angle of 45 to 60 degrees to avoid breakage.
- Aligning the rod for snags: If your lure snags, keep the rod pointed at the hook while walking backwards to reduce the strain on the rod.
- Be careful with carbon fiber: Carbon fiber rods are strong but can be brittle. Avoid dropping them or banging them against hard surfaces as this can cause damage.
- Safe transportation: Always take your rod apart and place it in a protective cover during transportation to prevent damage from external influences.
