Inside the XGT-7 body of the Ultegra FB series sits the Hagane Gear, working in conjunction with X-Ship to provide robust gear engagement. 5+1 SA-RB bearings feature in all models, and the drag output ranges from 3-11kg depending on the model. Core Protect provides vital saltwater resistance, while G Free Body shifts the reel’s centre of gravity closer to the rod, enhancing angler comfort.
