The Reel
The Saragosa SW has built an incredible reputation and the Shimano Saragosa SW A 8000 HG Spinning Reel takes it to the next level. Packed with upgrades to deliver great cranking power and unmatched durability, no other reel compares at this price point.

The Shimano Saragosa SW A 8000 HG Spinning Reel incorporates top tier Shimano technologies such as X-Protect, X-Ship, Hagane Body and Hagane gear into its lightweight compact body. The newly designed compact body has been engineered to reduce the weight across the entire series, improving the reels handling and balance. Drawing upon the Stella SWC, Infinity Drive is included and provides improved pinion gear support which translates to greater and smoother cranking power. The X-Protect water resistance system improves the line roller durability to an IPX8 standard, and the super strong Cross Carbon Drag system keeps the fight in your favour. Built for big fish in extreme conditions, the Saragosa SWA will continue to push the boundaries.

The Rod
The favourite Backbone series of rods just got an overhaul. The new Shimano Backbone Topwater Spinning Rod is now stronger than ever, with a higher quality blank, good quality componentry and a new slick design that is bound to please.

EVA Full Grips
Customised EVA grips, shaped for maximum comfort and performance.

Graphite Blank
Utilising high quality graphite sheets rolled on custom designed mandrels, a sensitive yet extremely lightweight performance fishing blank is created.

Graphite Composite
Rod blanks combining both graphite and fibreglass materials in a particular manner can create a blank with characteristics that are best of both worlds, making a rod that has fibreglass robustness with the power of graphite.
