The Shimano Spheros SW Inshore is a new series of spinning reels designed with lighter inshore saltwater and heavy freshwater applications in mind. With its durable design and ability to perform in freshwater and saltwater, the Shimano Spheros SW Spinning Reels offer anglers more confidence thanks to a ingenious combination of Shimano flagship technologies. Realizing efficiency through strength, the Shimano Spheros SW are built using a cold forged aluminum Hagane Body and Hagane Gears, which work to eradicate flex and ensure out-of-the-box smoothness cast after cast.

Smooth and dunkable reel that has performed so far
I just got this reel and only used it for a few months. First off, I was throwing jigs and was surprised on how far I was casting on a 1/2oz and 3/4oz lures. It only took about 25 mins until I hooked a very nice sized yellowfin croaker that had some power. The fish took drag and the reel performed very nice and the drag worked great. When the croaker took line the reel dished it out smoothly and natural. As you can see, I also have caught multiple halibut, calico bass and even a white seabass. I also own a Shimano Socorro and I feel both reels have a very similar feel, which I like. The only difference is the Socorro is bigger and stronger and made for heavier line. This reel is perfect and I used 20 pound braid on it. I highly recommend this reel so far and will update only if I experience frustration, lack of durability, or any other inconveniences which I font expect.

It's a Shimano
I pretty much use only Shimano reels. Added this to a St.Croix 7 foot rod. Nice unit for trout and reds.
