Reel Description
Considered by many as one of Shimano’s most reliable and robust reels, the Spheros range has long been a favourite of many anglers that demand the best out of their reels – day in, day out.

Redesigned for 2008, one of the most significant enhancements has been the incorporation of the Propulsion Line Management System – keeping line woes to a minimum. The system features - Propulsion Spool Lip, SR one-piece bail system and Power Roller III.

Large line capacities throughout the range provide an option for just about any application, with models equally at home pitching livies for Sailfish or dropping knife jigs over pinnacles for Samsons and Kingfish.

Designed tough, each model features a light-weight aluminium frame, cold-forged aluminium spool and graphite rotor (aluminium in 14000 & 18000 models). Dartainium drag system (6000 & 18000), AeroWave (8000) and AeroWrap oscillation (14000 & 18000), Fluidrive II, Dyna-Balance and stopperless design round out a true Shimano work horse.
