Shimano Socorro SW 5000

The Shimano Socorro SW 5000 is a spinning reel designed for saltwater fishing, offering an excellent combination of robustness, power, and affordability.

Its construction combines aluminum and graphite, ensuring corrosion resistance and good durability even in demanding conditions. The HAGANE Gear system provides efficient and smooth power transmission, while the X-Ship improves gear alignment, reducing wear and increasing efficiency.

The Cross Carbon Drag ensures a powerful and progressive brake, capable of handling combative fish with up to approximately 10 kg of force, maintaining control and smoothness during the fight.

With a slower gear ratio (4.6:1), this reel prioritizes power over speed, making it ideal for techniques such as jigging, bottom fishing, or light trolling.
