Shimano Saragosa Spinning 

The Shimano Saragosa range of saltwater spinning reels were engineered to handle the extremes of modern day jigging and spinning techniques.
All models are engineered from a light-weight aluminium frame, machined handle and graphite rotor (aluminium in the 18000 model). The spool features a titanium lip, one-piece and Dartanium drag system (6000-18000 models only). All models feature no less than 5 SARB bearings and 1 roller bearing.
Featuring all of the latest innovations fresh out of the Shimano stable the Saragosa will be taking on XOS kingfish, GTs and Tuna anywhere it is employed for a long time to come. 

Saragosa Features:

These bearing have been through the same process as our A-RB bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearings rotation. 

These spools provide increased strength and durability over die cast aluminum or graphite spools.

This is an oversized line roller that reduces twist from casting and retrieving and is enhanced with a tapered area on the support to help line get onto the roller quicker.

Paladin Gear Durability Enhancement Spinning. Using a special cold forged aluminum drive gear and a hardened brass pinion gear. Reels equipped with the Paladin Gear Durability Enhancement will retain their out-of-the-box smoothness much longer than before. In fact, testing has shown that this combination is more durable than all stainless steel drivetrain while maintaining the smoothness that Shimano is famous for. 

The most obvious component of the Propulsion Line Management System is the new Propulsion spool lip design. Though tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations it has been determined that this new spool lip design provides a longer casts with less friction. The Propulsion spool also utilizes a long stroke design to further enhance casting distance. Furthermore, there is less bouncing of the line on the spool lip like on a standard spinning spool. So, with a standard spinning spool, friction alternated from heavy to light as the line slaps the spool lip. This causes backlash and inconsistent line speeds. The Propulsion spool lip provides consistently light friction to overcome these situations. 

This feature eliminates wobble during the retrieve by counter balancing the rotor to enhance sensitivity and smoothness. By using computer balancing, an approach similar to car tire balancing, we are able to redistribute the rotor weight to create smooth rotation and eliminate vibrations caused by the reel.

Building upon the successes of Fluidrive, which provides extremely tight tolerances and control in the cutting process. Fluidrive II polishes the gear surface to maximize tooth contact. This increases the efficiency of the retrieve for more power with less effort.
