Shimano Spheros SW Inshore Spinning Reels
Packed full of proprietary Shimano technologies to help you dominate the most challenging environments the Shimano Spheros SW Inshore Spinning Reels set a new standard for affordable saltwater spinning reels. The Spheros SW is driven by Shimanos cold forged Hagane Gear that provides incredible stren...gth and durability while the rigid Hagane Body keeps the gears and internal components in perfect alignment preserving prime rotational operability for many seasons to come. Cranking power is enhanced with the use of Shimanos X-Ship bearing supported pinion gear technology while the Cross Carbon Drag system gives the reel the drag pressure necessary to put the brakes on bull reds and big striped bass. Treated with a CoreProtect water resistant coating at key areas to prevent water intrusion the Spheros SW is prepped to withstand the punishment of unforgiving saltwater environments for multiple seasons to come. Shimano Technology Found in Spheros SW Inshore Spinning Reels :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.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.CoreProtect - The concept of CoreProtect is simple ? to provide exceptional water resistance without creating any additional rotational resistance on the retrieve. The reel is treated at key areas such as the roller clutch body and line roller to resist water intrusion.Cross Carbon Drag - Allows for a wider range of drag settings enhanced drag washer durability and the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.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 bearing’s rotation.

para mi que practico pesca en mar y en embarcaci?n es ventaja que el carrete sea clasificado SW, pues sabemos que mientras vamos navegando el agua salada salpica y teniendo esa protecci?n no te preocupa que se da?e los internos.

From back bay bass to albies it does it all. True flag yellowtail in the keys and a keeper mutton. Few dolphin and keeper bass out front. Pretty smooth and obviously a smooth drag landing 24" to fork yellowtail on 15lb leader.

I have used this reel for almost a year now and you can catch almost everything with it, The drag is very powerful 24LBS of pure stopping power.
Most important is not heavy and you can cast all day long.

Heavier than other shimanos I have but I use it for the surf so it isn't noticeable. Great option for the price and use it over any Penns I own under $200.
Outstanding performance

Silky smooth, light weight in regards to what youre getting, comfortable to fish all day long, plenty of drag for size.
Perfect line lay and casts a mile. Works awesome with Daiwa J-Braid x8 Grand.
Shimano knocked it out the park with this reel. Unbelievable value for this high quality reel.

I have 2 questions. 1.What it the difference between this and the Nasci. 2. Will more sizes for this reel come out in the near future?<br>

One of the main differences in the reels is that the Spheros has the hagane body which makes the reel more rigid and is less prone to the body of the reel flexing when fighting a larger fish and as far as we know the Spheros is going to stay in the smalle

Why does the Spheros3000XGSW weigh more than the Spheros3000HGSW if they are supposed to be the same sized reels? Do they have a different body or something?
Bernie - TackleDirect Customer Service
2 years ago
Hello Antonio, <p>The difference in weight between the two 3000 size reels is due to the spc model being the compact design which makes in closer to a 2500 size body and the other 3000 model being more of a traditional 3000 size </p>
