Shimano Saragosa SW 14000XG A Spin Reel

A PRICE POINTED BEAST 

The Shimano Saragosa SW 14000 XG A Spin Reel has become incredibly well-recognised as one of the best value-for-money reels on the market. Commonly used on many charter boats around the country the Shimnao Saragosa range of reels is trusted by the best. Day after day the Saragosa gets put to the test on some of the world's hardest-fighting fish - just ask those who use them the most. The Shimano Saragosa SW 14000 XG A Spin Reel is primarily used as a big game topwater reel chasing XOS Kingfish on stick baits & poppers. If you are travelling these reels are often used in the islands to chase big Giant Trevally. 

The Saragosa SW has built an incredible reputation and the newly released 2020 model 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 Saragosa SWA series features 8 models with the 14000XG and 18000HG being new additions for 2020. The new range 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 reel's 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. Built for big fish in extreme conditions, the Saragosa SWA 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.
