Shimano Spheros SWA 20000PG Spinning Reel
Shimano Spheros SWA 20000PG Spinning Reel
Engineered to handle the salt and take the knocks.
The Shimano Spheros SWA 20000PG is built tough for serious saltwater action. Featuring a fully sealed IPX8-rated body, this reel combines Shimano’s advanced X-Protect and X-Shield technologies to deliver superior water resistance and lasting performance in harsh marine environments. The 20000PG model packs serious stopping power with an impressive 18kg max drag and a massive line capacity of 400m of PE8 braid — making it a powerful weapon for battling giant fish in New Zealand waters and beyond.
🔧 Key Technologies
✅ Infinity Drive
Infinity Drive reduces friction between the main shaft and pinion gear by supporting the shaft with high-sliding bushings and a special low-resistance coating. This design cuts handle rotation torque by about 30%, giving anglers smoother and more powerful winding — even under extreme load.
✅ Shielded Anti-Reverse Bearings
These upgraded bearings are protected on both sides, minimizing the risk of salt or sand intrusion and ensuring smooth, reliable anti-reverse performance over time.
✅ HAGANE Body
The rigid HAGANE Body minimizes flex and twist under heavy pressure. Built for strength and efficiency, it allows every movement of the handle to directly translate into cranking power — perfect for hard-fighting offshore species.
✅ HAGANE Gear
At the core of the reel is the cold-forged HAGANE Gear, precisely engineered using Shimano’s proprietary 3D design process. The result is exceptional durability and smoothness, even under prolonged heavy use.
✅ X-Protect
A combination of water-repellent coating and water-channeling labyrinth construction helps keep internal components dry and corrosion-free, without compromising rotor rotation or lightweight performance.
✅ X-Ship
By supporting the pinion gear with S-ARB bearings on both ends and pairing it with a larger drive gear, X-Ship enhances gear engagement, power transmission, and longevity — especially under extreme pressure.
✅ AR-C Spool
Shimano’s innovative AR-C spool lip design allows line to peel off in tighter loops, reducing friction and preventing wind knots or backlashes. The result? Longer, smoother, and more accurate casts.
