Built for saltwater strength and precision, the Shimano Spheros SW reel and Limitless rod deliver durability, power, and smooth performance for serious inshore anglers.
The Reel:
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 aluminum handles has reduced the dead weight by 50 to 85g compared to the previous model.
