Shimano Saragosa SW A Spinning Reels
With a legendary legacy as a true workhorse option for saltwater anglers, the Shimano Saragosa SW A Spinning Reels up the ante with improved reel technology and features to dominate your next trip on the water. Shimano's Infinity Drive Technology is taken from their top-of-the-line Stella SW C reel and implemented into the Saragosa SW A, increasing winding torque of the reel while providing an incredibly light handle rotation, even under the most immense loads. This allows anglers to truly put heat on their next target species, taming them from the deep and stopping them in their tracks as them attempt to reach structure. Housing the reels vitals is its Hagane metal body, serving as the rigid framework to maintain precise alignment of its gearing and eliminating reel flex. Not only is the reel kept smoother under even the most intense battles, but anglers will appreciate the efficiency of power with every handle turn. Multiple technologies and reel design efforts are displayed in the Saragosa SW A such as X-Protect, X-Shield, and its IPX-8 Water Resistant Body, keeping harmful containments and water from entering vital portions of the reel, withstanding spray and accidental submersion to the fullest extent.
Features and Technologies of the Shimano Saragosa SW A Spinning Reels:
- Infinity Drive:
- Through the use of new main shaft supporting structure to eliminate friction within the pinion gear, reels with Infinity Drive achieve increased winding torque, along with an incredibly smooth and light rotation under heavy loads.
- Hagane Gear:
- Boasting amazing strength and durability, Hagane Gear is a process in which the gearing is calculated in minute detail and cold forged instead of being cut. This application of state-of-the-art technologies gives the angler reel smoothness from the first use through years of enjoyment.
- Hagane Body:
- A reel body with high rigidity, which virtually eliminates body flexing due to its stiffness and impact resistance. The result? An angler's actions are more efficiently transformed into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength.
- Cross Carbon Drag:
- Allows for a wider range of drag settings, enhanced drag washer durability, and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
- X-Tough Drag:
- X-Tough Drag with its dramatically enhanced smoothness, control, and toughness anticipates the vigorous speed of massive game fish such as Bluefin Tuna and Giant Trevally.
- Water-Resistant Drag:
- With the use of rubber gaskets the drag is sealed against intrusion of the elements such as water and dust.
- X-Protect:
- By combining a water repellant coating and a specially designed water channeling labyrinth construction, X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without adding weight or sacrificing light rotor rotation.
- X-Shield:
- X-Shield and X-Protect combine to provide extreme water resistance in the harshest conditions thanks to a number of strategically placed seals.
- IPX-8 Water-Resistant Body:
- IPX-8 is a water resistance rating that signifies the piece of equipment can be submerged, yet not necessarily operated, in over 1 meter of water for 30 minutes without damaging the equipment.
- Propulsion Line Management System:
- The most obvious component of this system is the Propulsion spool lip design, which has been proven through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations to provide longer casts while preventing backlashes and wind knots.
- X-Ship:
- By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear remains in precise alignment with the drive gear and stays in the same position under even the heaviest of loads. This eliminates friction between the spool shaft and gear which translates to better casting performance and increased gear durability.
- One-Piece Bail:
- One-Piece Bail allows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. Its seamless design reduces friction and the change of tangles or cuts to the bail arm.
- S A-RB Bearings
- These bearings undergo the same anti-corrosion process as Shimano?s A-RB Bearings, with the addition of shields on both sides of the bearings to reduce the possibility of salt, dirt, or other foreign objects inhibiting the bearings rotation.
