Shimano Spheros SW 3000XG Reel

Shimano Spheros SW 3000XG Reel. The SPHEROS SW in sizes C3000-3000-4000 is a new reel in the SW spinning reel line-up. It has been developed specifically for SW spinning (inshore): the reel has strong HAGANE gearing and X-SHIP, a HAGANE aluminium body, Cross Carbon drag washers and COREPROTECT technology. This makes the reel extremely strong and reliable. The Spheros SW is the first dedicated SW reel which is available in smaller sizes for a very affordable price.

Features

• Hagane body, Hagane gear and X-Ship for maximum power and strength
• Small compact size for lighter weight rod and reel set-ups whilst retaining immense power
• Hi-speed retrieve for efficient fishing of spinning techniques
• Coreprotect for protection and light rotation feel
• Aero Wrap line lay and AR-C spool for improved casting

Hagane Gear
The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano’s coldforging technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers a longlasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel. Traditional diecast, machined gears are less durable under heavy loads.

Hagane Body
The HAGANE Body is produced from high rigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rocksolid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.

XShip
XShip is a combination of features that work together to create much greater efficiency. By positioning the pinion gear close to the centre line of the large diameter drive gear, more power is transferred from the handle to the rotor. The pinion gear is also supported by two Shimano ARB roller bearings. This creates more stability.

Coreprotect
CoreProtect prevents water entering the body, from under the rotor at the front of the body, and also into the Roller Bearing unit.

G Free Body
G Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel’s centre of gravity closer to the rod. This has been achieved by moving the worm shaft oscillation mechanism 19mm from the bottom of the reel to the top. By moving the centre of gravity closer to the anglers hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.

ARC Spool
Shimano ARC Spool is a patented spool design with an angled spool lip. This design enables the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils resulting in longer more accurate casts. ARC spools are proven to reduce backlash and wind knots when using braid.
