What do you get when you design a reel with five silky-smooth A-RB bearings, a lightweight, diecast one-piece aluminum frame, Super Stopper anti-reverse and Shimano's VBS braking system? You get a reel you can depend on, day-in and day-out, that will perform beyond your expectations. That's the Cardiff.

Shimano developed the all-new Saragosa SW BFC for the dedicated billfish angler, those looking for the upper hand when a tournament check or world record is on the line. The counterpart to the tournament-proven Talica BFC in Shimano's Billfish Concept lineup, the Saragosa BFC reigns supreme when tossing live baits at billfish tailing down sea or cutting through bait balls on the surface. Saragosa SW BFC features an optimized drag for fighting sailfish and other billfish on light-line applications with a lower overall drag and less drag spike during fast runs compared to the battle-tested Saragosa SW A. Designed to perform when there's no other choice than to get the release, the Saragosa SW BFC boasts the market's fastest retrieval rate at 56 inches of line per turn to enable anglers to stay tight with a sport-fisher backing down or when fighting a greyhounding sailfish off the bow of a center console. To reduce play and deflection of the spool during hard-fought battles with stubborn fish, the Saragosa SW BFC incorporates Shimano's Rigid Support Drag for enhanced spool support to produce smoother and more consistent drag.

A true glutton for punishment, the legacy of the versatile Saragosa SW continues with enhanced capabilities and features to dominate the saltwater realm. The Saragosa SW now features Infinity Drive Technology and increases the reel’s winding torque under load compared to its predecessor to give anglers a distinct advantage over hard-fighting game fish. Combined with a battle-tested rigid HAGANE Body that won’t flex under immense loads and the HAGANE Gear to create eternally smooth reeling, the capabilities of the Saragosa SW make it a thoroughbred workhorse among saltwater spinning reels. Benefiting from an IPX8-rated waterproof body, Saragosa SW also features a waterproof Cross Carbon drag and X-Protect for high-level water resistance to create long-lasting durability without sacrificing performance. No matter whether anglers are fishing inshore or offshore, jigging for bottom fish or casting baits at tailing fish, they can count on — just like they always have — the Saragosa SW to stay smooth no matter the conditions and perform when needed most. The bar is raised for saltwater spinning reels.
A thoroughbred workhorse amongst saltwater spinning reels, the new Saragosa SW is a glutton for punishment. Now built with Infinity Drive Technology, the standard is set and the Saragosa simply won’t back down from a challenge.
