FD = front drag on spinners
Not a clue about FB (I'm not a Shimano guy)

Measure once, cut twice. Or is it the other way around? ::)

The "F" means front drag and the next letter indicates the generation of the particular model of reel.  FA was the first front drag model, followed by FB, FC, FD, etc.

Seems like Shimano sometimes skips a letter too.  For example, the Baitrunners went from B to D and I think Shimano has also skipped C on some other models.
