Shimano Ultegra C3000 FB Backbone Softbait Combo 7ft 2in 3-6kg 2pc

Entice hungry Snapper into smashing your lure

Thinking of putting together the perfect softbaiting set up? The Shimano Ultegra C3000 FB Backbone Softbait Combo is a great option. This combo comes with the versatile Ultegra reel - smooth and powerful. It's paired up with the Backbone rod which features top quality components that will stand the heat of battle.

The Reel
The new Shimano Ultegra C3000 FB Spinning Reel is designed and built with inspired performance in mind. It's packed with premium Shimano features to provide smoothness and durability that you want in a fishing reel. The Ultegra C3000 FB is well suited to all spin-lure fishing applications.

Shielded Anti-Reverse Bearings
These bearings have been through the same process as the A-RB bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearings' rotation.

Aluminium Cold Forged Spool
These spools provide strength and durability over diecast aluminium or graphite spools.

Power Roller
This is an oversized line roller that reduces twist from casting and retrieving and is enhanced with a tapered area on the support to help line get onto the roller quicker.

X-Ship
By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with the S-ARB bearings and integrating bigger drive gear, Shimano increased the gearing efficiency and power. This results in a fishing reel with ultra-light handle rotation; less effort and power giving a perfect rotation even under heavy loads.

AR-C Spool Management System
Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations it has been determined that this new AR-C spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast, which means less slap on the stripper guide. This means longer casts with less friction.

HAGANE Gear
Hagane Gear is at the very heart of the reel and creates strength and durability. The entire cold-forging process is calculated in minute detail by special 3D design and the result is precision durability.

The Rod
"

Solid and reliable

The favourite Backbone series of rods just got an overhaul. The new Shimano Backbone Softbait Spin Rod is now stronger than ever, with a higher quality blank, good quality componentry and a new slick design that is bound to please.

Graphite Blank
Utilising high quality graphite sheets rolled on custom designed mandrels, a sensitive yet extremely lightweight performance fishing blank is created.

Graphite Composite
Rod blanks combining both graphite and fibreglass materials in a particular manner can create a blank with characteristics that are best of both worlds, making a rod that has fibreglass robustness with the power of graphite.
