SHIMANO Spheros Spinning SW Reel

With its known durable design to handle the salt, the new Spheros SW spinning reels offer even more angler confidence with new Shimano "SW Concept" features. In sizes for off the beach, inshore action, and blue water use.

Features:

• Carbon Cross Washer: This reliable washer is made of material with excellent abrasion and heat resistance and is installed on Shimano's large spinning reels. It can firmly respond to unexpectedly large fish.
• Threaded handle: As with higher-end models, a threaded handle fixing structure is employed. Direct winding is possible without any slack.
• HAGANE: HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANCE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.
• HAGANE Gear: With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the heart of most Shimano reels. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives anglers the long-lasting smoothness and pleasure that is felt when anglers first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear during fabrication, instead the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by a special 3D-design and then formed by Shimano's cold-forging technology. The result is assured resilience. HAGANE Gear is the fruit of Shimano's inexhaustible pursuit for durability- the strength and power of forged metal continues to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.
  
• X-Ship Spinning: X-Ship provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This allows the gears to stay in the same position under the heaviest loads. The added benefit of X-Ship technology is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This further benefits anglers with enhanced casting distance of lighter lures.
• HAGANE Body Spinning: The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing on the reel while fighting fish. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power, increasing efficiency through strength.
• CoreProtect: Total Protection, the concept of CoreProtect, is simple: to provide water resistance without creating a heavy rotational feeling, There are three key areas of the reel that require protection: the roller clutch, the body and the line roller.
• G-Free Body: G-Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel's center of gravity closer to the rod. By moving the center of gravity closer to the angler's hand, the G-Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.
• Propulsion: The spool has a special ring shape. This creates a rectifying effect on the line and realizes both suppression of line trouble and long casting performance.
  
• Cross Carbon Drag Spinning: The Cross Carbon Drag material provides a wider range of drag settings compared to traditional drag materials. The Cross Carbon Drag provides the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever while providing anglers with increased durability.
• S A-RB Spinning: S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano's A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting rotation of the bearing.
