2021 year model

To Keep Fishing No Matter What

Featuring the X-Shield with IPX-8 level waterproof performance, along with X-Protect, X-SHIP, and HAGANE Body, the Spheros SW defies the expectations for its price range with cutting-edge technology, making it suitable for the harshest saltwater environments. The 2021 model is further enhanced with Infinity Drive, HAGANE Gear, and carbon cross washers, improving both durability and performance.

Additionally, the use of HAGANE Gear and a machine-cut aluminum handle has reduced the weight by 50-85g compared to the previous model. The range includes five crucial items for nearshore fishing: 5000HG, 6000HG, 6000PG, 8000HG, and 8000PG, making it adaptable for a wide variety of fishing styles from jigging to casting, both onshore and offshore.

HAGANE GEAR

A block of metal is pressed under high pressure and finished to micron-level precision without cutting. This unique technology, known as precision cold forging, produces gears that are hard, tenacious, and smooth to wind.

X SHIP

X-Ship 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. The added benefit is that friction between the spool shaft and gear are eliminated. This will enhance the casting performance of the reel with lighter lures, and allow for longer casts.

HAGANE BODY

The HAGANE Body is a metal reel body with high rigidity. The body rigidity and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the angler's actions directly into cranking power. It's efficiency through strength.

INFINITY DRIVE

The Infinity Drive structure is a more advanced version of the conventional X-SHIP structure that created exceptionally light winding. The main shaft, which had previously been supported by the pinion gear, is now supported by a new and unique low-friction bushing that significantly decreases frictional resistance. In addition, the main shaft has undergone a proprietary surface treatment and special processing to drastically reduce rotational torque, constructing a reel that can actively wind even under heavy loads.

X SHIELD

By providing dependable sealing structures and gaskets at 12 critical locations throughout the reel body, we are able to create a water resistant structure that is highly reliable and durable. Ensuring that it can hold up when used in extreme saltwater conditions
