The Saragosa SW has built an incredible reputation for value, performance and reliability since its launch. This mid-priced workhorse takes many of Shimano’s top features and makes them available to a wide range of serious and casual saltwater game anglers.
The Saragosa SW has built an incredible reputation for value, performance and reliability since its launch. This mid-priced workhorse takes many of Shimano’s top features and makes them available to a wide range of serious and casual saltwater game anglers. Whatever your motivation, Saragossa is an excellent choice and contains a lot of the technology found it its more expensive brothers. The reason Saragosa is so advanced, but relatively affordable, is one of evolution. As Shimano develops ever more advanced technology for its high-end models like Stella, slightly older technology gets passed down. Have a look at the Saragosa features and you’ll be more than impressed, in fact it’s more advanced than the previous version of the Stella! A full range of HAGANE technology, InfinityDrive for increased torque, X-Protect (IPX8) for the best saltwater protection, the list is almost endless. The result is a reel that you’ll not only learn to trust, it’s a reel that you’ll be proud to use in any situation or company. Technology: HAGANE Gear. HAGANE Gear delivers outstanding strength and durability at the core of Shimano reels. Using advanced 3D gear design and Shimano’s cold-forging technology, the drive gear is formed without cutting the teeth, resulting in long-lasting smoothness, resilience, and dependable cranking power. X-Ship Spinning. X-Ship improves gear durability by supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, helping it stay precisely aligned with the drive gear under heavy loads. This reduces friction and also enhances casting performance and distance, especially with lighter lures. HAGANE Body. The HAGANE Body is a high-rigidity metal reel body designed to resist flex and absorb impact while fighting fish. By minimizing body movement under pressure, it transfers more of the angler’s effort directly into cranking power and efficiency. Infinity Drive. Infinity Drive is an advanced structure that creates exceptionally light winding under load. A new low-friction bushing supports the main shaft, while special surface treatments and processing reduce rotational torque for smoother, easier cranking against powerful fish. X-Shield. X-Shield uses sealing structures and gaskets in 12 critical locations throughout the reel body to provide highly reliable water resistance. This helps the reel stand up to demanding saltwater environments while maintaining long-term durability. X-Protect. X-Protect combines water-repellent treatment with a labyrinth structure that helps prevent water intrusion without adding resistance to the reel’s rotation. This non-contact design improves water resistance in key areas such as the stopper bearing and line roller. X-Tough Drag. X-Tough Drag is engineered for improved smoothness, control, and toughness when fighting extremely fast and powerful species such as bluefin tuna and giant trevally. It improves heat resistance and durability with metal drag washers, abrasion-resistant carbon washers, and added spool stability. Propulsion Line Management. Shimano’s Propulsion spool design features a special spool ring shape that helps control line flow. This reduces line trouble while improving long-distance casting performance. Cross Carbon Drag. Cross Carbon Drag provides a wider range of drag settings than traditional drag materials while delivering exceptionally smooth drag performance. It also adds durability for anglers who need steady, reliable stopping power. S A-RB Bearings. S A-RB bearings receive the same treatment as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but also feature shields on both sides. These shields help reduce the chance of salt or sand interfering with bearing rotation for longer-lasting smoothness. One-Piece Bail. The One-Piece Bail design allows line to move smoothly and directly to the line roller. Its seamless construction reduces friction and helps minimize tangles or line catching on the bail arm. Technical Specification. Size: 5000 Gear Ratio: 6.2 Maximum Drag Force: 10 kg Weight: 450 g Line Capacity / Nylon Mono (mm-m): 0,33-200, 0,37-150, 0,40-130 Line Capacity / PE (No.-m): 2-350, 3-240, 4-170 Line Retrieve Crank: 105 cm Handle Length: 65 mm Ball Bearing Total Amount: 5+1 Spare Spool Code: 100XF
