The power to go up against big fish

The Shimano Saragosa 18000SW AHG Energy Concept Topwater Spin Combo make for some serious fishing action. In this pair you get the Saragosa reel which fuses Shimano technology to get overwhelming power, durability and reliability to tackle any situation in any condition. It’s enhanced further with Shimano’s HAGANE gears for amazing strength and durability.

This combination also features a rod like no other, the Shimano
Energy Concept Topwater Spin Rod which is built to the highest
standards, made with SVX2 carbon-graphite blank, Fuji guides and
Fuji reel seat. It also features sensitive tip for working lures
and live baits, and low down grunt for lifting tough Kingfish and
Hapuku.

The Reel
The Saragosa SW has built an incredible reputation and the new Shimano Saragosa 18000SW AHG Spinning Reel takes it to the next level. Packed with upgrades to deliver great cranking power and unmatched durability, this is the perfect reel to tackle those big offshore brutes.

The compact body design improves the reel’s handing under load and the weight has been reduced. The new range incorporates top tier Shimano technologies such as X-Protect, X-Ship, Hagane Body and Hagane Gear into its lightweight compact body. Drawing upon the Stella SWC, Infinity Drive is included and provides improved pinion gear support which translates to greater cranking power. The X-Protect water resistance system improves the line roller durability to an IPX8 standard and the Cross Carbon Drag system is now waterproofed. Built for big fish in salty conditions, the Shimano Saragosa 18000SW AHG Spinning Reel will continue to push the boundaries.

Infinity Drive
With the Infinity Drive, the pinion gear inner does not make contact with the main shaft, as high-sliding bushing supports the main shaft and sliding resistance is reduced. In addition to this, a special skidding coating on the main shaft helps to further reduce sliding resistance. Infinity Drive cuts handle rotation torque by about 30% in comparison to the conventional system, and makes the reel more powerful. This enables anglers to wind more aggressively, even under heavy load.

Hagane Body
The Hagane Body chassis is made of highly rigid aluminium alloy. It eliminates flex, warp and distortion of the reel, and protects the engagement of gears inside. This allows for smoother winding.

Hagane Gear
Hagane Gear is at the very heart of the reel and creates strength and durability. The entire cold-forging process is calculated in minute detail by special 3D design and the result is precision durability.

X-Protect
By combining water repellent coating and specially designed, water channeling labyrinth construction, X-Protect provides high-level water resistance without sacrificing light gear and rotor rotation.

X-Shield
By placing sealing gaskets in 12 critical locations throughout the rigid aluminium body, Shimano is able to create a water resistant structure that can hold up against the toughest conditions and fish that Mother Nature has to offer.

X-Ship
By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with the S-ARB bearings and integrating bigger drive gear, Shimano increased the gearing efficiency and power. This results in a fishing reel with ultra-light handle rotation; less effort and power giving a perfect rotation even under heavy loads.

One Piece Bail
The one piece bail wire has no gap for the line to snag on during normal operation. Made of stainless steel, it reduces friction and allows the line to get into the line roller quicker.

Cross Carbon Drag
The drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.

The Rod
The new Shimano Energy Concept Topwater Spin Rod
is built from the ground up by the Shimano Fishing NZ development
team to give you a rod like no other. Built to the highest
standards, this rod is made with SVX2 carbon-graphite blank, Fuji
guides and Fuji reel seat. It also features sensitive tip for
working lures and stick baits, low down grunt for lifting tough
Kingfish, quality components and stunning looks only matched by
rods twice its price. The best part? This rod can withstand any
punishment day in and day out. Simply put, the Shimano
Energy Concept Topwater Spin Rod is pure style without
compromise.
