Features

  • Infinity Drive: The new main shaft supporting structure improves winding torque by 30% while allowing incredibly smooth and light rotation. This essentially means having the benefit of a quick line retrieve HG ratio reel but with the power and winding torque similar to that of a PG.
  • X-Protect: By combining our water repellent coating and our specially designed, water channeling, labyrinth construction, X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation.
  • IPX8 Water Resistance to create long-lasting durability without sacrificing performance
  • Hagane Gear: With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of the reel. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives you the long-lasting smoothness and pleasure that you feel when you first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear. Instead the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by special 3D design and then formed by Shimano's cold forging technology
  • Cross Carbon Drag: This drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.

Description

A true glutton for punishment, the legacy of the versatile Saragosa SW starts a new chapter in 2020 with enhanced capabilities and features to dominate the saltwater realm. The Saragosa SW now features Infinity Drive Technology and increases the reel’s winding torque under load by up to 30% compared to its predecessor to give anglers a distinct advantage over hard fighting game fish. Combined with a battle-tested rigid HAGANE Body that won’t flex under immense loads and the HAGANE Gear to create eternally smooth reeling, the capabilities of the Saragosa SW make it a thoroughbred workhorse among saltwater spinning reels. The Saragosa SW also features an IPX8-rated waterproof Cross Carbon drag and X-Protect for high-level water resistance to create long-lasting durability without sacrificing performance. No matter whether anglers are fishing inshore or offshore, jigging for bottom fish or casting baits at tailing fish, they can count on — just like they always have — the Saragosa SW to stay smooth no matter the conditions and perform when needed most. The bar is raised for saltwater spinning reels.

  • 6K vs 8K
Style: Gear Ratio: 5.7:1 | Size: 6000
If you're like me, you watched a hundred videos on the internet about this reel. You may be wondering if you should get this 6k or an 8k. I ordered both and put side by side on my rod. My rod is a 7'9" XH-F. The 6K was way too small and the 6k has a tiny spool. I bet it holds max of 275 yards of 20# braid. You must use a mono back as this reel does not have the rubber on the spool like Penn. If you're fishing inshore for reds, snook, trout, I suggest a 4k Stradic or any 4k; a 5K max. Saragosa has a 5K that would work great, but just a bit over kill. My 4k Stradic holds right at 290 yards of 20# with a mono back. All of that said, I sent the 6k back and got the 8k. Matched my rod well, holds enough line. Good for tarpon, but still small enough to use as a big inshore reel. IE- pulling snook off structure. Or it doubles as an off shore reel. I lined my 8K with 30# braid. Also, if this is your first Shimano, know they are small frames. Meaning, if you put a 4,6,8K reel beside a Penn 4,6,8K reel, they are smaller. So for example: a 6K shimano is the same size as a 4k Penn sargus, battle, spinfisher 4.5K. The 8K shimano is the same size as a 6K Penn. I know because I put them directly beside my Penns. On that note, if I am being honest, the Shimano (at a much higher price) does not feel any better than my cheap Penns. They also do not reel my red fish in any better. However, the stradic 4K is smoother reeling, MUCH lighter, and a excellent red reel. When I say smaller, - i mean the body of the reel is physically smaller and the spool accordingly holds less line than the equal sized penn. Hope my experience helped some of you. ... show more

  • Superb Saltwater Spinning Reel
Style: Fishing
Smooth casting and reeling in. Very high quality reel as expected for the Shimano brand. I have used this reel under very harsh/demanding saltwater surf conditions and have not had any issues with it. Flawless operation! I am very happy with this purchase!

  • A bit bigger and heavier than expected
Style: Fishing
Same manufacturer you would think size would be consistent. Bought a 5000 size Ultegra and love it. Got this Saragossa 5000 size thinking it would be the same. Nope, 10% bigger and 20% heavier. Granted this Saragossa is for salt water and the Ultegra is not. Saragossa has more seals and built for salt. So, a little heavier is expected, but not 20%. Smooth but not as smooth as the Ultegra. ... show more

  • Shimano Saragosa is all I use.
Style: Gear Ratio: 5.6:1 | Size: 8000
I use this reel strictly for vertical jigging! The 6k holds at least 600' of 30# braid while the 8k holds at least 600 of 50# braid. The retrieve and drag is perfect for how I jig! I added a power knob to it and have hauled in 60# plus giant trevally with it! I have the 6k and 8k for all of my saltwater fishing spinning rods which I use on my kayak and boat. Both reels are light enough so I don't get tired while jigging off the kayak. ... show more
