Saltwater Reels

Shimano's latest release is the new Saragosa SW range of salt water rated spin reels. The Saragosa SW has had a substantial overhaul and now features many of the components that are also found in the top-of-the-line Shimano Stella SW family of reels.

Features include a hybrid aluminum and XT7 graphite body with an XGT7 rotor, Shimano's legendary X-Ship bearing supported pinion gear and larger drive gear which delivers remarkable cranking power with less effort and a smoother feel.  X-Shield and X-Protect that keep salt water out of key areas, and a cross carbon drag that is waterproof. Other features include a one piece bail arm assembly which smoothly guides the line onto the spool, Shimano's Cam Oscillation system combines with the AR-C spool to ensure that braided lines lay neatly on the retrieve without creating dips or troughs which leaves the spool with less resistance when casting for distance and accuracy.

The Saragosa SW range is capable of delivering between 10 and 20kgs of usable drag depending on model, which make it ideal for all jigging and top water applications as well as livebaiting many of our game species.

Vanford’s SilentDrive and MicroModule Gear II technologies combine to produce a new level of smooth rotational performance while reducing overall reel vibration.

Infinity Drive has been introduced to complement the existing X-Ship system to deliver light and powerful winding.
