The use of CI4+ delivers a substantial weight saving on the compact Ultegra body making rod speed easier to generate when distance casting. To further increase casting performance the Ultegra uses Super Slow Oscillation line lay and an Propulsion Line Management System spool fitted with Hi-Speed Drag for simple, ultra fast adjustment. Hagane Gear and X-Ship produce powerful winding performance and Stainless S A-RB bearings plus a Shimano Roller bearing deliver supreme smoothness.
