Shimano Spheros SW A 2021 Spinning Reels
The Shimano 2021 Spheros SW A Spinning Reels have been redesigned to be the perfect answer for inshore and offshore fisheries alike. Featuring Shimano's flagship Infinity Drive technology to improve pinion gear support and enhance the overall drive gear design. The Spheros SW provides anglers with increased winding power under load. Incorporating both X-Protect and X-Shield for improved water resistance and increased durability in the harsh saltwater environment, Spheros SW A fortifies an IPX8 water-resistant-rated body. The size lineup has been expanded to include a more comprehensive range of sizing for offshore as well as inshore techniques.

Custom Reel Spooling
Get your reel professionally spooled for the cost of the line only. Choose from two options for straight braid spooling:
-
Order the required braid from our Braided Line Per-Yard page (we’ll refund any overage).
-
Contact us with your spool specs, and we’ll guide you on the exact braid quantity to order.
If your braid order doesn't fully fill the spool, we’ll back it with the appropriate sized line at no extra cost. For custom spooling big game reels with leaders, knots, crimps, or splices, contact us—if you can dream it, we can rig it!
