No carbon drag on the lower sizes. But, I bought it on eBay for 10 bucks. Also I added extra high end ball bearing to it. I have the 2500. I wish it had the water proof drag. Which the Stadic and the Vanford have. I have to agree with you. Best bang for your buck. And the color theme in this reel is Fly AF!
@@FishingOD_OFFICIAL already sold my 2500hg FL. Thinking about ultegra 2021 but i dont like the handle. Will be getting the 4000FL. Like the color and need more line capacity for vertical jigging. Thanks mate
Got the Ultegra FB last year and it's my favourite spinning reel. Looking for another spinning reel for my collection... well I WAS looking, not anymore.
I don’t even think its a competition! Ultegra all the way! A daiwa reel that comes close is the Procyon and its close to 35$ more expensive and in my personal opinion the ultegra still remains smoother and I believe its lighter as well.
Great reel. Been using for months with G. Loomis e6x rods for surf and it's great match. I changed the felts to carbon washer and it's great even smoother reel.
@@FishingOD_OFFICIAL Thank you for the video. Many will love this reel. I also added bearings to replace the plastic ones and washers in a few places to remove the tiny play in the reel. Doing so makes it super. Also changed the handle for full aluminum dual bearing. Way better. 😉
Hey, great video. Thank you. Today I got Ultegra C3000HG (2021 version). Is it normal to feel micro movement in the reels handle at the rate every 2nd circle it travels a circle? Or is that a reel defect and i should replace with another Ultegra reel? Hope for your reply, cheers.
Does that reel come in a long cast model too or is it available only in the larger surf sizes? I tried looking at the 4000 and 5000 sizes for long cast model, but can't find any being listed for those sizes. If anybody knows there is a long cast version for any reel out there would you please let me know? Thanks!
Does the spool make a small clicking noise as you turn the handle? Mine makes a few slight click when the spool rises as I turn the handle. Let me know now if yours is the same. Thanks!
@@FishingOD_OFFICIAL think so too. i already own a stradic 3k, but i read this is basically that but vanford body ie. all the internals are almost the same.
Great video and in depth review bro! Going to have to check it out in person, sounds like it would be a great addition to the arsenal! Nicely done!
Means a lot dude! It’s definitely killer 🤙🏼
@@FishingOD_OFFICIAL also, I can relate to all those takes haha. YT life
Nice review, this guy knows what hes talking about!
😳😳😳
Just got mine from the US, love the look of it and can't wait to put it to the test. Look forward to more videos man!
Awesome! Thank you!
Merci mon ami super vidéo j’ai acheté le c5000xg j,espère que le frein à des rondelles en carbone merci
Beautiful reel and like you said... LOADED with technology. Great video!!!!
Thanks Jason!

Yes you’re absolutely right! I didn’t mention that!
Looks sick, definitely picking one of these up
Well worth it!
Love it! I might get it sometimes in the future if it drops to around $200 CAD.
I already added the vanford from last review and now I have to include the ultergra, jalready just bought a stradic and nexave
Haha that’s awesome!
Awesome video! Keep up the good work🔥🎣
Thanks dude!
@@FishingOD_OFFICIAL y’a tu des place où que on peut l’acheter au Québec déjà? Merci
Pense pas encore! Peut être si tu cherche fort haha
@@FishingOD_OFFICIAL ok merci!
can u oil the line roller since there is x protect. can oil get in? will oil affect hydrophobic coating?
Love the mclovin hoodie 😂
Can’t be beat, it’s my PB hoodie 🔥
Ultegra 2021 vs stradic fl? Which is better for sw? Its not 1 piece handle right?
Stradic FL 🙏🏼
@@FishingOD_OFFICIAL already sold my 2500hg FL. Thinking about ultegra 2021 but i dont like the handle. Will be getting the 4000FL. Like the color and need more line capacity for vertical jigging. Thanks mate
The ultegra is a great choice but the stradic is still better for you
Got the Ultegra FB last year and it's my favourite spinning reel. Looking for another spinning reel for my collection... well I WAS looking, not anymore.
The differences between this one and yours are actually mind blowing! You’ll love it if you get your hands on one 🔥
what material is the rotor made of? how about the body is it ci4 or ci4 plus like vanford?
Ci4+ like the vanford and the rotor I’m not sure actually
im about to buy either ultegra or daiwa bg mq.. which one do you think the best ?
I don’t even think its a competition! Ultegra all the way! A daiwa reel that comes close is the Procyon and its close to 35$ more expensive and in my personal opinion the ultegra still remains smoother and I believe its lighter as well.
nice! and thank you ..
Great reel. Been using for months with G. Loomis e6x rods for surf and it's great match. I changed the felts to carbon washer and it's great even smoother reel.
If you would’ve gotten one of the larger sizes they come with the cross carbon drag system! But your fix was really smart 👍🏼
@@FishingOD_OFFICIAL I was aware of the larger sizes already having the Carbontex drag. I wanted a smaller and lighter reel. 😊
I figured!
@@FishingOD_OFFICIAL Thank you for the video. Many will love this reel. I also added bearings to replace the plastic ones and washers in a few places to remove the tiny play in the reel. Doing so makes it super. Also changed the handle for full aluminum dual bearing. Way better. 😉
Can you link me to where you get all your components? I’d like to try that.
Seriously considering a 4K one of these. I am a Stradic guy but for $160 I think this might be a good try.
Depending on your usage the stradic still might have a place in your arsenal but the ultegra is definitely underrated
Hey, great video. Thank you.
Today I got Ultegra C3000HG (2021 version).
Is it normal to feel micro movement in the reels handle at the rate every 2nd circle it travels a circle? Or is that a reel defect and i should replace with another Ultegra reel?

I would say send it into Shimano, no shimano product should have any play in the reeling
@@FishingOD_OFFICIAL Thank you. Have a nice day!
Same to you!!!

nice video . from Malaysia ❤️❤️
Thank you! 😃
Just ordered mine today. Can't wait to get it.
cool hoodie
I noticed buying from online the reels seem like factory 2nds . every one i got from a brick and mortar store have been perfect.
Im not aware of that!
@@FishingOD_OFFICIAL yeah pretty shady actually
They look killer dude
They really are 🔥
Is the drag noise loud or very subtile?
In my opinion it is pretty subtle. Not as subtle as some others but it’s definitely not loud. There are many videos on my channel where you hear it.
@@FishingOD_OFFICIAL ok cool yeah mines not as loud as the miravel or nasci
Does the spool make a small clicking noise as you turn the handle? Mine makes a few slight click when the spool rises as I turn the handle.
Let me know now if yours is the same.
Thanks!
Nope absolutely zero sound comes out of this real I would send it back!
ordered a 4K yesterday for $161 out the door. (amazon has $20 discount right now)
That’s a sweet deal! You’re gonna love it!
@@FishingOD_OFFICIAL think so too. i already own a stradic 3k, but i read this is basically that but vanford body ie. all the internals are almost the same.
Definitely a cross between the stradic FL and Vanford, it incorporates elements of both like you said.
@@FishingOD_OFFICIAL nasci is good , too if on more of a budget. caught a 10+# cubera off the jetties no prob with the 3k. cheers
You tube has taken away my thumbs up icon and only has thumbs down. I have no idea why.
