Shimano Saragosa SW BFC Spinning Reel Review

Purpose-built to serve the dedicated billfish angler the Shimano Saragosa SW BFC Spinning Reel is the only spinning reel to reach for when big checks and trophy billfish are on the line. The Saragosa SW BFC is the spinning reel counterpart to the legendary Talica 20BFC in Shimanos Billfish Concept l...ineup. The Saragosa BFC is built specifically for things like tossing live baits at billfish tailing down sea or cutting through bait balls on the surface. Featuring a lower and more gradual drag curve than the battle-tested Saragosa SW A the Saragosa BFC is optimized for fighting sailfish white marlin and other billfish varieties on lighter and more often monofilament line. By combining the 6.2:1 gear ratio with an enlarged spool the Saragosa BFC achieves a blazing fast 56in of line retrieved per handle turn which is exactly what billfish anglers need to stay tight when trying to keep up with some of the fastest swimming fish on earth. To ensure smooth and consistent drag performance during long battles Shimanos Rigid Support Drag enhances spool support by reducing play and deflection of the spool. Shimano technologies that anglers have come to depend to protect their reels from the elements such as X-Shield and X-Protect keep water away from key internal components to preserve smoothness and operational proficiency for many seasons out on the water. With the Saragosa SW BFC anglers can target billfish with confidence in their spinning gear knowing they have the right tool that was expertly designed for the job.Features:Infinity DriveRigid Support DragHAGANE BodyHAGANE GearCross Carbon DragS A-RBX-ProtectX-Shield
