Shimano Saragosa SW 8000HG Spinning Reel

The new Shimano Saragosa SW 8000HG has taken the legacy of its predecessor to new heights. It has become even more versatile and powerful, thanks to several key upgrades. The most notable addition to the Shimano Saragosa is the Infinity Drive Technology. This innovative feature enhances the reel’s winding torque under load by a staggering 30%, giving anglers a distinct edge over hard fighting game fish.

The battle-tested rigid HAGANE Body and Gear ensure smooth reeling. The body does not flex under heavy loads, and the gears continue to provide smooth reeling, making the Saragosa SW a reliable partner in any fishing situation. The Shimano Saragosa SW also features an IPX8-rated waterproof Cross Carbon drag and X-Protect which offer high-level water resistance, ensuring long-lasting durability without sacrificing performance.

The Shimano Saragosa offers unmatched performance, no matter the conditions. Whether you’re fishing inshore or offshore, jigging for bottom fish or casting baits at tailing fish, the Saragosa SW performs impeccably. The Shimano Saragosa SW is packed with unique features that ensure reliable performance under extreme saltwater conditions:

– X SHIELD –
The Shimano Saragosa boasts of dependable sealing structures and gaskets at 12 critical locations throughout the reel body. These elements combine to create a water-resistant structure that is highly reliable and durable.

– X PROTECT –
The reel also features X-Protect, a combination of a water repellent coating and a specially designed, water-channeling, labyrinth construction. This ensures high-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation.

– X TOUGH DRAG –
The X Tough Drag feature of the Shimano Saragosa is all about leverage. By repositioning the reel handle closer to the body, it increases cranking leverage, rigidity, and torque, making it easier to reel in even the toughest catches.

– SILENT DRIVE –
From the whole body design to the most intricate parts of the drive train, every piece in the Shimano Saragosa has been carefully reviewed. The smallest clearance gaps and wobbles have been eliminated to the highest tolerances, ensuring a silent and efficient operation.

– X-SHIP –
The Shimano Saragosa features X-Ship, which provides improved gear durability. By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with bearings, the pinion gear maintains precise alignment with the drive gear. This means the gears will stay in the same position under the heaviest loads.
