shimano 2500 ULTEGRA FB vs ULTEGRA spinning reel

Anyone have knowledge of the Shimano 2500 ULTEGRA FB vs ULTEGRA spinning reel?

Looking for 2500/3000 for trout and reds.


The F stands for front drag and the B means it is second gen from the A version, which likely doesn’t even have an A. Hope this helps.

…well, some fishing too!

Thank you… Looking to buy the 2021 2500…don’t know how to know I’m not getting the older one.

I know stepping up to the Vanford is a bigger jump but well worth it. The Vandford reel is a sealed reel and last much longer in a saltwater.
