Shimano Spheros SW5000XG

A smooth, durable saltwater reel

A jack of all trades for saltwater anglers, the Shimano Spheros SW5000XG spinning reel is as durable as a tank, and as smooth as silk.

Whether you’re fishing in the surf, dropping jigs for grouper, or live-lining for tarpon or bull redfish, this reel has you covered, and in style.

With X-Protect and X-Shield technologies, the Spheros features unrivaled water resistance and top-notch durability, exactly what saltwater anglers need.

The reel’s specially-shaped spool adds casting distance and eliminates line trouble often associated with lesser spinning reels. The textured, oversized handle is a nice touch, and aids in fighting big fish.

With a super strong drag and generous line capacity, you can drop your fears of getting spooled when hooked to the big one.
