SHIMANO Saragosa SW A Spinning Reel

The Shimano Saragosa SW A Spinning Reel sets the new standard for saltwater performance. Engineered with Infinity Drive Technology, it delivers superior winding torque under load, giving you the edge against powerful game fish. The unyielding HAGANE Body and HAGANE Gear refuse to flex, maintaining smooth, consistent reeling through the toughest battles. Full IPX8 waterproof protection, waterproof Cross Carbon drag, and X-Protect technology shield against saltwater corrosion and spray. From inshore flats to offshore depths, jigging structure to casting live bait, the Saragosa SW A performs flawlessly in any condition. Built for anglers who demand a reel that stays smooth and reliable when it counts most.

Features:

• Infinity Drive Technology: increased winding torque under load for superior power
• HAGANE Body & Gear: rigid construction eliminates flex and ensures eternally smooth reeling
• IPX8 Waterproof Rating: complete protection against saltwater immersion
• Cross Carbon Drag: waterproof drag system with extended range and durability
• X-Protect & X-Shield: advanced water resistance technology for long-lasting performance
• S A-RB Bearings: corrosion-resistant bearings with dual-sided shields
• One-Piece Bail: seamless design reduces friction and prevents line snags

Spooling Option

Select from standard spooling options listed in the drop-down menu above, or let us know how you would like your reel spooled. Custom spooling including top-shots, wind-ons, hollow-core backing, and fluorocarbon are available. Call or send a note with your requirements and we’ll advise costs. All reels are machine spooled under ideal tension, braid is spooled with approximately 50 feet of mono backing. Wind-on leaders are offered for both hollow core and non-hollow braid, hollow core is spliced and non-hollow braid is connected loop-to-loop with a bimni twist.

01

Infinity Drive winds under load

Infinity Drive moves the main shaft onto a low-friction bushing and away from the piniongear, with a proprietary surface treatment that drops rotational torque dramatically. The result is a reel that keeps
cranking smoothly when a big fish has the rod buried — none of the staggered, hard-handle feel you get from a standard
spinner under heavy load. This is the upgrade that separates the Saragosa SW from the prior generation; it’s the single
biggest reason to step up from an older Saragosa or a comparable mid-tier offshore spinner.

02

IPX8 sealing top to bottom

Every Saragosa SW carries an IPX8 waterproof rating across the body, with X-Shield and X-Protect sealing the bail roller, line roller, and handle knob against salt intrusion. The drag itself is a waterproof Cross Carbon Drag stack that won’t drink water if the reel gets buried during a wave or a sloppy boatside fight — drag pressure stays smooth and predictable wet or dry. Combined with saltwater-grade A-RB bearings, this reel is built to be rinsed and run season after season.

HAGANE Body, HAGANE Gear

The rigid one-piece HAGANE Body holds its shape under the worst of an offshore fight — no flex, no creak, no drift in the gear mesh when you’re cranking against a tuna sound or pulling a GT off the reef. Inside, the HAGANE Gear is cold-forged from a single piece of metal rather than cut, which produces a gear surface that runs glass-smooth out of the box and stays smooth for the life of the reel. X-Ship pairs the two with a tighter pinion-gear seat for efficient power transfer.
