A lightweight spinning combo that’s heavy on performance

If you’re looking for a combo that’s lightweight yet durable, then
the Shimano Ultegra 2500 FB Backbone Light Spinning Combo is the perfect pair for you. The Shimano Ultegra
reel’s sleek design, Hagane gear and smooth cranking power matches
the Backbone Elite rod’s sensitivity, making it an ideal combo to
use for all-day freshwater fishing. Packed with great features and
backed with the quality that Shimano’s known for, this combo will
satisfy your need for power without sacrificing comfort.

The Reel
The new Shimano Ultegra 2500 FB Spinning Reel is
designed and built with inspired performance in mind. It’s packed
with premium Shimano features to provide smoothness and durability
that you want in a fishing reel. The Ultegra 2500 FB is well suited
to all spin-lure fishing applications.

Shielded Anti-Reverse Bearings
These bearings have been through the same process as the A-RB
bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that
reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearings’
rotation.

Aluminium Cold Forged Spool
These spools provide strength and durability over diecast aluminium
or graphite spools.

Power Roller
This is an oversized line roller that reduces twist from casting
and retrieving and is enhanced with a tapered area on the support
to help line get onto the roller quicker.

X-Ship
By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with the S-ARB bearings
and integrating bigger drive gear, Shimano increased the gearing
efficiency and power. This results in a fishing reel with
ultra-light handle rotation; less effort and power giving a perfect
rotation even under heavy loads.

AR-C Spool Management System
Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations
it has been determined that this new AR-C spool lip design provides
longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while
preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows
the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast,
which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer
casts with less friction.

HAGANE Gear
Hagane Gear is at the very heart of the reel and creates strength
and durability. The entire cold-forging process is calculated in
minute detail by special 3D design and the result is precision
durability.

The Rod
The favourite Backbone series of rods just got an overhaul. The new
Shimano Backbone Light Spinning Rod is now
stronger than ever, with a higher quality blank, good quality
componentry and a new slick design that is bound to please.

Graphite Blank
Utilising high quality graphite sheets rolled on custom designed
mandrels, a sensitive yet extremely lightweight performance fishing
blank is created.

Graphite Composite
Rod blanks combining both graphite and fibreglass materials in a
particular manner can create a blank with characteristics that are
best of both worlds, making a rod that has fibreglass robustness
with the power of graphite.
