DESCRIPTION

The jack of all trades in the saltwater realm, Shimano redesigned the Spheros SW series of saltwater spinning reels to conquer both offshore and inshore waters. Now featuring Shimano's flagship Infinity Drive technology to improve pinion gear support and enhance the overall drive gear design, Spheros SW provides anglers with increased winding power under load when cranking against hard-fighting game fish. Wielding both X-Protect and X-Shield for improved water resistance for increased durability in the harsh saltwater environment, Spheros SW fortifies an IPX8 water-resistant-rated body. Now available in seven different sizes, the new 14000 and 18000 sizes span the gap between 10000 and 20000 models for a broader range of applications within the Spheros SW series of reels. From jigging for groupers or amberjacks, to tossing lures at cobia and football-size bluefin tuna, or free-lining live bait to snook or striped bass, the Spheros SW series will provide dependable performance for anglers targeting prized game fish.

FEATURES

• HAGANE Gear & Body
  The reel features a cold-forged HAGANE Gear for long-lasting smoothness and strength under heavy loads. The rigid HAGANE Body eliminates flex during intense fights, ensuring your cranking power is transferred directly to the gears.

• Infinity Drive
  This advanced main shaft support structure reduces rotational resistance, providing significantly increased winding torque and a lighter feel when reeling in large game fish.

• X-Ship
  By supporting the pinion gear with bearings on both ends, X-Ship maintains precise gear alignment. This enhances durability and allows the reel to perform smoothly even under extreme pressure.

• X-Shield
  Strategic gaskets and seals are placed at critical contact points throughout the body to block water and salt intrusion. X-Protect: This system uses a labyrinth structure combined with water-repellent treatments to protect the roller clutch and line roller without increasing rotational friction.

• S-ARB Bearings
  These stainless steel ball bearings feature specialized shields to prevent sand, salt, or dust from affecting rotation.

• Cross Carbon Drag
  The reel uses woven carbon washers that provide a wide range of smooth, consistent drag pressure and improved heat resistance for long battles.

• AR-C Spool
  The spool features a patented angled lip design that allows the line to leave the spool with less friction, resulting in longer and more accurate casts.
