Effortless power and smooth casts
The
Shimano Saragosa SW A 14000 XG Grappler Type C S82H Topwater Spin Combo is ideal for top water casting to
pelagic species such as Kingfish, GT, and Tuna. Tough and powerful
with superb casting capability.
The Reel
The Saragosa SW has built an incredible reputation and the new
Shimano Saragosa 18000SW AHG Spinning Reel takes it to the next level. Packed with upgrades to deliver great cranking power and unmatched durability, this is the perfect reel to tackle those big offshore brutes.
The compact body design improves the reel's handing under load and the weight has been reduced. The new range incorporates top tier Shimano technologies such as X-Protect, X-Ship, Hagane Body and Hagane Gear into its lightweight compact body. Drawing upon the Stella SWC, Infinity Drive is included and provides improved pinion gear support which translates to greater cranking power. The X-Protect water resistance system improves the line roller durability to an IPX8 standard and the Cross Carbon Drag system is now waterproofed. Built for big fish in salty conditions, the
Shimano Saragosa 18000SW AHG Spinning Reel will continue to push the boundaries.
Infinity Drive
With the Infinity Drive, the pinion gear inner does not make contact with the main shaft, as high-sliding bushing supports the main shaft and sliding resistance is reduced. In addition to this, a special skidding coating on the main shaft helps to further reduce sliding resistance. Infinity Drive cuts handle rotation torque by about 30% in comparison to the conventional system, and makes the reel more powerful. This enables anglers to wind more aggressively, even under heavy load.
Hagane Body
The Hagane Body chassis is made of highly rigid aluminium alloy. It eliminates flex, warp and distortion of the reel, and protects the engagement of gears inside. This allows for smoother winding.
Hagane Gear
Hagane Gear is at the very heart of the reel and creates strength and durability. The entire cold-forging process is calculated in minute detail by special 3D design and the result is precision durability.
X-Protect
By combining water repellent coating and specially designed, water channeling labyrinth construction, X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation.
X-Shield
By placing sealing gaskets in 12 critical locations throughout the rigid aluminium body, Shimano is able to create a water resistant structure that can hold up against the toughest conditions and fish that Mother Nature has to offer.
X-Ship
By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with the S-ARB bearings and integrating bigger drive gear, Shimano increased the gearing efficiency and power. This results in a fishing reel with ultra-light handle rotation; less effort and power giving a perfect rotation even under heavy loads.
One Piece Bail
The one piece bail wire has no gap for the line to snag on during normal operation. Made of stainless steel, it reduces friction and allows the line to get into the line roller quicker.
Cross Carbon Drag
The drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.
The Rod
The
Shimano Grappler Type C S82H Topwater Spin Rod
focuses on effortless power and smooth casts. It features both
Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank construction for increased strength
and less power loss during jerking and fighting.
Plus it uses double-footed MN guides for higher strength and
rigidity. Perfect for fishing with stickbaits and popper lures.
Spiral X
Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a blank made of
vertical fibres, an inner layer and an outer layer, both comprising
of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite
directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional
horizontal fibre sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced torsional
rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates
instant power transmission for precise casting and for fighting
fish. Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's Spiral
X construction enhances your "catching power".
Hi-Power X
In Hi-Power X construction, the blank's outermost layer is
diagonally wrapped with carbon tape which forms an array of "X"
shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle, and the part of
the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish
species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps
during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength
and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction
delivers sharp and crisp rod control.
