*Bought a 500 for an ultralight rod. It's very smooth **enjoyable.fishing** recommend casts great. One odd thing- the bale wire is a bit heavy diameter in my opinion for a reel of this size. But a great purchase.*
I know I’ve been a bad content creator! I have so many videos lined up as shot already I just need to edit them and get them out for you guys! I love the support you keep on showing me though! It’s my subscribers like you that encourage me to make more videos! As far as TA I know he’s very busy and is possibly going through a career change so I’m time I’m sure he’ll start making some more content!
Great Video as always, I hope the New Ultegra is not like the Exsense BB 3000 MHG(5+1). Very unimpressive, though very smooth and 8.5 ounces. It is a great reel for downrigger fishing. I was not able to upgrade the spool support, rotor support nor upper worm gear bearings. The lower worm gear, oscillating paw and handle bearings were easy. I hope that the upgrade possibility is like the Stradic or Vanford. Did you say next week for the new upgrade video ?
Thank you sir! And you will be surprised when you see the upgrading video for sure! It was supposed to be this weekend but with spring break and mid terms I would say it should come out by next weekend! Stay tuned!
You probably dont give a shit but does someone know a way to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
@Caleb Danny thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later with my results.
Sorry to post so long after the video... Wondering how you would rate the new Ultegra to the Stradic CI4+. Both are currently the same price basically here in Australia. So it makes it even harder to choose between them.
No worries!! Honestly that’s a very very hard question... I would say watch my comparison on the Vanford vs. the Stradic Ci4+ and see which reel fits your own visual styling the best! The Stradic Ci4+ FB and the new Ultegra ‘21 is an amazing reel! If it were me......... Go buy a Vanford 😉. 😂
I hated how my line roller bearing on Ci4 doesn't last even rinsing after every use. Do you know if the new Ultegra has a better line roller bearing? Thanks.
The whole assembly is a little different and as long as you pack the bearing with grease it lasts a lot longer! Check out my like roller bearing video on Shimano reels!
It might just be camera angle but it appears that the new reel is larger than the old one. It seems longer overall. I have 3 of the older generation Ultegra 3000s and I love them. Was thinking of getting one for my wife but if it's a considerably larger reel, I might have to downgrade the size. Thanks,
The camera might not have done any justice in proper sizing but I can tell you first hand they are almost identical in size... don’t forget the new reel is also lighter than the old model too so that’s a big plus. The spool is slightly larger being that it’s the long stroke spool and that allows for further casting! Thanks you for the comment!
I have vanford which i got yesterday cos of this channel. I up grade my bearings on my vanford this morning . The anti reverse clutch fell apart, i worked on it for two hours before fixing it. i worked out you need to put the springs in first, then the outside ring, then the rollers after the ring, then the centre sleeve/collar last to hold the bearings in place while fitting the backing plate on. lol what a pain that thing is. You should do a video on the anti reverse clutch. How to put it back together. Great video review thanks.
Thank you so much! And wow that’s awesome to hear and I’m so sorry you popped the anti reverse... yeah.. it’s a pain in the butt!! I’ll end up doing a video on it thanks for the great idea!!
@@WestCoastFloridaFishing Thanks. Is the XG the faster retrieve? Debating this, as it seems a little more affordable than the Vanford and Stradic. I love the upgrade videos as well, albeit I can't do all of them. LOL Thanks.
Great review and wonderful reel . Tell me please where can I buy it ? Model ULTC5000XGFC I am from Europe, tried to find it in Europe but it is not yet selling on European market.
Thank you for the kind words! I’m not sure exactly where to buy it in Europe but you can try to look on eBay and watch for when it comes out and order off eBay!
Pity you can't get rid of the lionfish and pollution. It's good to hear of your passion, keep up the good work. Inform about when your second channel starts. Will be great. Regards from Greece.
Yeah no kidding 😔 makes me sad but I’m ready to help do something about it! And thank you! I will definitely let everyone know when the second channel starts up!
So basically they took the last Gen Stradic Ci4 are selling it as a Ultegra and the Vanford is the NEXT gen Ci4. Kind of like how the Spheros SW inshore is basically a Stradic FK. Shimano is bringing the value!
Yeah basically! Except that the new ultegra has the brand new micro module gear 2 in it and has x protect in the like roller and the anti reverse!! They have been on it with value!!
@@aaronhiggs I've been fishing since 1949 and the Stradic FL is the best reel for the money. My first spinning reel was a Horrocks and Ibbotson Hi-Spin which I first disassembled in 1956
I know!!!! Ugh!!!! So frustrating when I had gotten it into my editor and I didn’t realize it was out of frame!! Kicking my self in the butt on that one! Thanks for sticking through though and I’ll try to make sure it doesn’t happen again! Thanks for the comment!
Just buy a Daiwa Certate LT and make it a one time buy. I know its expensive but it casts better, light, seals better, quiet and way smoother. I used the Certate side by side against the Vanford and the Certate LT is on different level
@@WestCoastFloridaFishing yeap i agree its twice the price but compared to the Flagship Stella the Certate LT for me is better value. But of course its a matter of perspective. For me reels are kinda similar to driving a sports car. Who wouldnt want to own one if they can afford it. But if people are happy with what they have of course that is ok.

Exactly. What I want to know. 500 size. ?? They don’t make ultegra 500
Glad to see you back!

Thanks so much you saved my account!
Hey there, I haven’t had the chance to see the reel in person. What colour is the reel? Blue or grey? Thanks
Like your focus on tech. Would LOVE to see Shimano Nasci 3000HG UPGRADE and your comments 👍
That sounds like a great video! I’ll be sure to put that on my list! Thanks for the awesome comment man!
How do I lock my Shimano Ultegra reel in place? There's no switch
Nice introduction of the new ultegra 2021
Thank you so much!
There it is.
Yes sir! Fantastic reel man!
Does the new ultegra spool fit on the Stradic fl?
No it does not!! I just doubled checked for ya 😁
Would you recommend this ultegra over the ultegra xtd for inshore fishing?
I would recommend this ultegra over the xtd for inshore marine applications yes!
I'm waiting for part II. Thank you
Thanks for the nice comment man!
Any chance you could do a tear down of a Daiwa Coastal SV?
If I had one I could! But I don’t have that reel unfortunately..

Does the 3000 & 2500 Ultegra use carbon washers?
Only the 3000 Size reel uses carbon fiber drag washers!
(Along with the 4000 and 5000 of course)
I hated how my line roller bearing on Ci4 doesn't last even rinsing after every use. Do you know if the new Ultegra has a better line roller bearing? Thanks.

When will Part II be ready?
Thanks for asking! I have been slammed with college and work the last month but I’m going to try really hard to have it out by this weekend!
Does anyone know if there Are carbon fiber drag washers available for this reel for aftermarket upgrade?
Carbontex drag washers should work for this reel!?
I think you missed showing us the internal view
Haha!! Check out my upcoming video on upgrading the reel next week!!

Where did you get this reel? Does long spool mean more line? What's the actual line capacity for braid? Thanks
I got the reel a Betts Fishing Center in Largo FL but you can probably fit about 250yds of 10lb and 200yrds of 15lb braid no backing
@@WestCoastFloridaFishing Thanks. Is the XG the faster retrieve? Debating this, as it seems a little more affordable than the Vanford and Stradic. I love the upgrade videos as well, albeit I can't do all of them. LOL Thanks.

Lmfao right?!?! 15 min video, 30 seconds of being able to see the damn reel
