The Shimano Saros F is one of the toughest, smoothest spinning reels in its class. Technological advances include Shimano's exclusive Paladin® Gear Durability Enhancement, with cold-forged aluminum drive gear and hardened brass alloy pinion gear for long-term smoothness, and the 5-component Propulsion® Line Management System which reduces line friction, twist, and backlashes while increasing casting distance. Aluminum frame and spool; shielded A-RB® bearings; Fluidrive® II; Dyna-Balance®; Super Stopper® II; and waterproof front drag. Free spare aluminum spool is included.
Shimano SR®-Concept combines the new concept of Reliance with all aspects of the S®-Concept: smooth, silent and strong. This results in an oversized SR-3D gear drive, SR Handle which screws directly into the drive gear, SR One-Piece Bail Wire with no gaps to snag line or create additional friction.
Propulsion® Line Mangement System: Five key components (spool lip, bail wire, roller, bail trip and cam) have been completely redesigned to reduce friction and promote uniformity of line movement. The result: more distance, less friction, fewer backlashes and wind knots, and greatly reduced line twist.
Super Stopper II is Shimano’s exclusive instant anti-reverse system. Built with a one-way roller bearing that eliminates all back-play in the handle—for instant hooksetting power.
Power Roller: Part of the Propulsion Line Management System, Power Roller reduces line twist by as much as 50%. Special grooved design assures that the line will wrap evenly on the spool.
Dyna-Balance® eliminates wobble on the retrieve by counter-balancing the rotor to enhance sensitivity and smoothness. 100% computer balanced!
Fluidrive® II gearing means that your reel was manufactured with the highest tolerances and utmost control in the gear-cutting process, to ensure a smooth, powerful retrieve every time
