A lightweight Salmon combo that’s heavy on performance

Light and durable, the Shimano Ultegra 4000FB XG Blackout Spinning Combo is a sleek, smooth and comfortable set for casting Rapalas for Trout and softbaiting or micro-jigging for Snapper. The Ultegra 4000FB XG reel’s Hagane gear and smooth cranking power matches the new Blackout Rod’s sensitivity and comfort, making it an ideal combo to use for all-day fishing.

The Reel
The Shimano Ultegra 4000FB XG Spinning Reel is simply a delight to use, with better balance in the hand. It’s designed using X-Ship technology, which not only makes the fishing experience much more enjoyable with ultra-smooth retrieves but also gives you more grunt when cranking in those larger saltwater species. Whether you’re casting light Rapala lures to Trout, softbaiting the wash or micro-jigging for Snapper, the Shimano Ultegra 4000FB XG Spinning Reel eats it up!

S-ARB bearings
These bearings have been through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB
bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that
reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearing’s
rotation.

Cold forged aluminium spool
The spool provides increased strength and durability over diecast
aluminium or graphite spools

Power Roller II
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
Together with the Hagane cold-forged drive gear, Shimano combined
X-Ship technology which results in a smooth, powerful and durable
reel. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the
pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This
means that the gears will stay in position under the heaviest
loads. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft
and gear are eliminated. This will enhance the casting performance
of the reel with lighter lures, and allow for longer casts.

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
Providing the perfect balance between power and finesse, the new Shimano Blackout Spinning Rod features T45 blank technology to create a strong, powerful and crisp action with superb sensitivity in a sleek black design. Coupled with WINN grips to provide the ultimate comfort. This rod will not only help you land the fish you’re after, but it will allow you to do it in style.

WINN Grips
Unlike traditional cork or EVA grips, the new WINN grips are made from high quality polymer formulated to provide firmness, texture, sensitivity and comfort even when wet.
