Product reviews of Shimano Ultegra 4000FB XG; Freshwater Spinning Fishing Reel

DstengMan88 : Super smooth

I know Shimano is a premium brand but I bought two different brands thinking that the reels would be pretty close in overall quality. The Shimano was close to twice the price but I was curious. I opened them both up and was so surprised how much smoother the Shimano was than the other product that I decided to keep it and I know I will never regret it.

Amazon Customer : Shimano Quality

Nice reel for the money.

Amazon Customer : A quality reel.

I just returned from a weeklong fishing trip on the Nushagak River in Alaska. I was fishing for Silver Salmon.

The reel worked flawlessly. I was probably making more than 500 casts a day and had no problems at all.

I would definitely buy the reel again.

Stephen Fitts : Sloppy Construction; Not a Tough Inshore Reel for Multiple Seasons (4000 model)

On paper and out of the box, this reel looked promising for inshore fishing for redfish, speckled trout, etc. on the gulf coast.

PROS: lightweight, nice drag numbers, good sizing for my hands (line capacity, nice long foot, and good crank geometry).

CONS: When I operated the reel, it wasn’t as smooth as I’m accustomed to (compared with current Spheros SW 5000, old 3000 Sahara and Symetre). When turning the crank, I heard a hissing sound from somewhere in the gear train. Strike two was excessive play in the spool. It moved up and down on the shaft about 1/8” (again, much more than comparable Shimano products, or other reels). The final straw that prompted a return was overall looseness and flex when pulling line out against the drag. I chalk that up to plastic construction (not a good match for high drag numbers), and poor tolerances (could just be the example shipped to me).

COMPARE TO: A comparable reel is the Penn Clash, which I’ve had for more than two years in and out of wharf, boat and surf. That one still runs smoothly, and has excellent stiffness with a smooth drag. I may try another Ultegra to rule out receiving a lemon. Even so, the reel did not strike me as the tough, all around inshore reel that it seemed to be on paper.

Tokamoto : Great Reels

Cortney D Owens : very good product and solid quality
