Built to be a jack of all trades in the saltwater realm, the Shimano 2021 Spheros SW A Spinning Reels have been redesigned to conquer both inshore and offshore waters. Now featuring Shimano's flagship Infinity Drive technology to improve pinion gear support and enhance the overall drive gear design, Spheros SW provides anglers with increased winding power under load when cranking against hard-fighting game fish. Wielding both X-Protect and X-Shield for improved water resistance and increased durability in the harsh saltwater environment, Spheros SW A fortifies an IPX8 water-resistant-rated body. The size lineup has been expanded from the previous generation to include a more comprehensive range of sizing for offshore techniques. These workhorse reels fit the bill for an extremely wide variety of saltwater applications including surfcasting, nearshore live-lining for snook or striped bass, jigging deep water wrecks for snapper and grouper, tossing lures to cobia and small tuna, and much more.

Features:

  • Infinity Drive
  • HAGANE Gear
  • HAGANE Body
  • Cross Carbon Drag
  • X-Ship
  • Propulsion Line Management Spool
  • X-Protect
  • X-Sheild
  • Screw-In Handle
  • S AR-B

Excellent reel - Shimanos are on the smaller size.
April 18, 2022
I bought the 6000 size.

Shimano mid-range priced reels have been a staple of my arsenal forever (a LONG time). I still have and use my old Shimano reels. This reel is excellent. I rinse it off after every use and dry it in the sun. I plan to clean/lube it every couple (or more) years as I haphazardly do with my reels. Shimano reels take a licking and keep on ticking.

Note: They run small on sizing. I bout the 6000 and it's about the size of some 4500-5000 size reels of other brands I've owned. Something to keep in mind.
Pros
  • Typical excellent value/quality in the mid-range Shimano reels.
Cons
  • The sizing might run a little smaller than you are accustomed to if you are new to Shimano.

Headed to the Baja Surf

Outstanding reel! Features that are comparable to the other high end Shimano reels. A sealed body and lots of pick up per crank. I was able to load 400 yards of 50# power pro braid. Headed to Baja in April and excited to have this reel for the trip.

Awesome reel
February 12, 2022
I was suprised to see this reel in my local tackle shop considering that its a great surf reel, so I grabbed one and you wouldn't believe how great this reel is i've caught 15-20lb kingfish from the shore and with how much drag it has is unbelievable for the price point. 10 out of 10 definitely recommend.
Pros
  • drag
Cons
  • none

true value

Its hard to believe you can get this nice of spinning reel for less than 200. But you can, this reel is very well made and I believe it will stand up to the brutal nature of saltwater fishing. very balanced, lots of drag, great handle. Alittle heavier than i anticipated, but made strong. I got the 8000 cause it has more drag at 29.

No line keeper on spool - 10000PG
September 28, 2021
Why would they not put a line keeper on the spool?

Seems nice otherwise. Just loaded with a full 300yds of 50lb powerpro SSV2 plus a little mono backing and it filled the 10000pg spool perfectly.

Slightly annoyed that there is nowhere to hook the line.

All around an improvement and great for fishing top and subsurface jigs
Pros
