SHIMANO SARAGOSA SWA 5000XG SPIN REEL

Shimano Saragosa SWA Spin Reel – Built for Power, Durability & Saltwater Toughness

The Shimano Saragosa SWA Spin Reel is engineered to dominate tough saltwater conditions and handle the fight against big, hard-pulling fish. Redesigned in 2020, the SWA range improves on the already legendary Saragosa with new models (including the 14000XG and 18000HG) and upgraded Shimano technologies that maximise power, protection, and long-term performance.

Perfect for targeting offshore pelagics, reef bruisers, and heavy inshore species, the Saragosa SWA features Infinity Drive for increased winding power, Hagane Body & Hagane Gear for rock-solid strength, and X-Protect for exceptional water resistance. With its IPX8-rated waterproof line roller assembly and Cross Carbon Drag system, this reel is designed to keep performing under relentless pressure.

Lightweight, compact, and balanced, the Saragosa SWA ensures smooth, powerful cranking with reduced resistance, giving anglers confidence when it counts. Whether you’re casting lures for GTs, jigging for kingfish, or live baiting for tuna, the Saragosa SWA is the reel you can rely on when the ocean gets serious.
