Description
Shimano's アルテグラ (Ultegra), the entry model of the Core Solid spinning-reel series. It pairs Micro Module Gear II with HAGANE gear and Infinity Cross for a smooth, durable retrieve, and the Core Solid platform's higher-inertia rotor suits lures with strong drag resistance. A long-stroke spool supports consistent casting distance and the X-Protect waterproof mechanism guards the internals.
The 2500 is described as a light all-rounder, carrying nylon 3#-120m and suited to everything from lure fishing to float and light bait fishing across a wide range of species. The 4000XG is the line's surf-fishing standard, with a fast retrieve built to handle waves pushing lures in close and crosswinds bowing the line — also well suited to hirasuzuki (rock seabass).

FAQ
Is the JDM version different from the US or AU release?
Often, yes. JDM releases can differ in spool depth, weight and handle options, and the Japanese lineup is usually broader — including sizes and models never exported.
Will spare spools from my current reel fit?
Spool compatibility is per generation, not per model name. Check the model year and size code against the spool before buying — the model code is listed on every reel.
What size should I choose?
As a ladder: 1000–2500 for finesse and light lines, 2500–4000 for general lure work, 4000 and up for heavy or salt duties. Match the size to your line and water first.
PG, HG or XG — what's the difference?
PG is a slow, powerful gear for cranking. HG is the all-round high gear. XG is the fastest retrieve for picking up slack quickly — higher speed trades away winding torque.
What warranty or service do imported reels have?
There is no local service centre for a JDM reel. Repairs and servicing go back to Japan, usually with a fee and a multi-week turnaround — weigh that before you buy.
Can I still get spares for older JDM-only models?
Often, yes — Japanese makers keep parts lists for older models, and some spares are stocked here. See the spares and custom parts collection, or ask before you order.
