SPHEROS SW

To keep fishing at all times.

SPHEROS SW is designed for harsh saltwater conditions and is generously equipped with technologies that break out of the norm in its price range, including the X-Shield, which boasts waterproof performance equivalent to IPX-8, X-Protect, X-Ship, and HAGANE body. The 2021 model is additionally equipped with an infinity drive, HAGANE GEAR, and carbon cross washers for even greater durability and performance. The use of HAGANE GEAR and machine-cut aluminium handles has reduced the dead weight by 50 to 85g compared to the previous model. The five items of 5000HG, 6000HG, 6000PG, 8000HG, and 8000PG, which are of high importance in inshore waters, are covered, adapting to a wide range of GAMEs, from jigging to casting, both inshore and offshore.

FEATURES

Precision cold forged HAGANE GEAR

The change from zinc die-cast gears to precision cold-forged HAGANE GEAR has increased strength. The light weight of the gears themselves also contributes to a lighter reel. Ideal for harsh SW scenes.

Carbon Cross Washer

This reliable washer is made of a 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 screw-in 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. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.


HAGANEGEAR_RL_SP
HAGANE GEAR

With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of most Shimano reels. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives anglers the long-lasting smoothness and enjoyment 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 result of Shimano's endless pursuit for durability — this strength and power of forged metal continue to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.


XSHIP_RL_SP
X SHIP

X SHIP provides improved gear performance. Large diameter drive gear, optimally positioned pinion gear and drive gear, and two points bearings supported pinion gear produce light reeling under load.


HAGANEBODY_RL_SP
HAGANE BODY

The use of lightweight and rigid metals such as aluminum and magnesium firmly suppresses deflection, distortion, and torsion of the reel. This protects delicate gear meshing and enables smooth reeling.


INFINITYDRIVE_RL_SP
INFINITYDRIVE

INFINITYDRIVE is a new main shaft supporting structure that improves winding torque and allows for incredibly smooth and light rotation.


XSHIELD_RL_SP
X SHIELD

The body is water-resistant equivalent to IPX8 by water-resistant seals on the body, side covers, and other parts of the body.


XPROTECTSW_RL_SP
X PROTECT

Large reels for saltwater, a contact-type water-resistant structure is used for large spinning reels that require higher water-resistant performance. By physically cutting off the entry path of seawater with a low-sliding seal member, high water-resistant performance is achieved while suppressing rotational resistance. The stopper bearing and line roller parts are adopted, and the stopper bearing part in particular achieves a water-resistant rating equivalent to IPX8.


AR-CSPOOL_RL_SP
AR-C SPOOL

The spool has a special spool ring shape. This creates a rectifying effect on the line and realizes both suppression of line trouble and long casting performance.


CROSSCARBONDRAG_RL_SP
CROSS CARBON DRAG

The CROSS CARBON DRAG provides the smooth drag release and the durability.

A-RB stainless-steel ball bearings are specially treated to drastically increase the corrosion resistance of the bearing.
