Heavily upgraded for 2021, the Shimano Ultegra FC Spinning Reels seek to outclass their competition with features and technologies previously unheard of in their price bracket. These feature-packed reels spare no expense in maximizing performance. From the lightweight and highly rigid CI4+ composite frame, to the cold-forged Hagane Gear with MicroModule II technology, the Ultegra FC is built to perform and keep on going. By borrowing SilentDrive technology from Shimano reels well above its price point, these reels boast an impressive rotational smoothness thanks to improved gear meshing and a reduction in overall play in construction. The implementation of X-Protect technology certifies the Ultegra FC as more than capable of holding up in punishing saltwater environments, making it a worthy choice for freshwater and inshore anglers alike. For final touches of refinement, features such as the Long Stroke Spool and a one-piece bail allow for smooth and efficient line management by reducing friction on casts and eliminating possible tangles during bail operation. The Ultegra FC is a versatile reel for all anglers in a wide variety of fisheries and is by far one of the most feature-rich reels in its class.

I've used the 4000 a few times in saltwater bays, and it hasn't let me down. It reeled in a 70-80 lb. Southern Stingray (eventually) and it was great with ~2' long Sandbar Sharks. My favorite reel to use when kayaking the bays.

Great reel.

Love this reel. Likely will get another in a different size. But wish spare spools were available so I can switch lines easily without having to carry additional rods (I fish mostly by walking streambanks or lake shorelines and not convenient to carry multiple rods).
Pros
- Super smooth drag
- Drag knob increases in very small increments, enabling to get the perfect drag strength
- Super smooth reeling action
- Casts really well
Cons
- Plastic clicker gear under the spool will likely wear out
- The inside of the lip of the spool has a rough finish which might collect dirt and slime more than smooth finish and concerned that this will wear on the line. The very outer edge of the spool lip is smooth, so maybe its not a problem.
- Spare spools are not available yet

Thanks Eric
