If you want to get the best out of your heavy duty fishing, look no further. This is exactly why Shimano engineered the new Stella SW. Next to withstanding the biggest fish this reel is developed to conquer its worst enemy; SALT. A new Shimano protective coating ensures optimal protection against corrossion. For personal protection there is no anti-reverse on this range of reels. Stella SW will become a saltwater legend in 2009 and beyond.
SARAGOSA F
A brand new family of reels which brings modern styling plus cutting edge features, such as Cold Forged gear, Superstopper ll and Waterproof micro click multi disc drag, to the heavy-duty end of saltwater fixed spool work. There is no anti-reverse on Saragossa reels; engaging an anti-reverse when playing big fish is a danger to the angler & its surroundings. You'll find 5 Shielded AR-B bearings plus a roller bearing on five of the seven reels, with one extra on the two largest models. These two in particular are sure to find favour with Butterfly Jigging as well as catfish anglers.
NAVI PG
This reel was specifically designed for Butterfly Jigging and other heavy-duty saltwater applications (i.e. saltwater spinning, deep water fishing etc). Its size perfectly suits many styles of jigging and is the ideal partner for the Jigwrex, Speedmaster and Beastmaster fixed spool version rods. Butterfly Jigging puts a lot of strain on a reel so this special PG version incorporates enhanced gearing to help cope with all the rigours of this exciting technique.
SPHEROS FB
Successor of a long standing gem in the heavy duty front drag spinning series. Strength without compromise to smoothness or the finer details of angling such as the ability to micro-adjust your drag setting while playing a fish sums up the all-new Spheros. A seven-strong family running from the 3000FB right up to the commanding 18000FB, all include advanced features like Waterproof micro click multi disc drag, CF Alu drive gear, Superstopper ll, Slow Speed Oscillation plus three Shielded AR-B bearings (four on the two largest models). A black, gold and silver colour combination adds stunning good looks to an attractively priced package.
