The Shimano Ultegra FB 1000 HG is a size 1000 spinning reel with a 6.0:1 gear ratio that picks up about 31 inches of line per turn. It weighs 7.1 oz and carries 2/270, 4/140 and 6/110 monofilament capacities, with a 7 lb maximum drag. Its HAGANE gearing, Coreprotect water resistance and G Free Body design suit anglers who want a light, compact reel for finesse spinning.
