Shimano Spheros SP4000XG SW #KAOS Spin Combo Orange 7ft 14-42g 2pc

A lightweight Salmon combo that’s heavy on performance

Light and durable, the Shimano Spheros SP4000XG SW #KAOS Spin Combo is a sleek, smooth and comfortable set for casting Rapalas for Trout and softbaiting or micro-jigging for Snapper.

The Reel
With its known durable design to handle saltwater, the new Shimano Spheros SP4000XG SW Spinning Reel offers more confidence on the water thanks to its Shimano “SW Concept” features. With the combination of Hagane Gear, Hagane Body, X-Ship, Cross Carbon Drag system and CoreProtect, the Spheros SW is prepped to withstand the punishment of unforgiving saltwater environments for multiple seasons to come.

Aero Wrap II Oscillation System
Aero Wrap II is a worm gear oscillation system with a specially designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds for the Propulsion Spool Lip design. It provides uniform line lay and winding shape to prevent loss of energy during the cast while providing longer casts than other oscillation systems. So, casting distance increases with less effort required.

CoreProtect
The concept of CoreProtect is simple – to provide water resistance without creating a heavy rotation feeling. There are three key areas of the reel the require protection; the roller clutch, the body and the line roller.

Cross Carbon Drag
The drag material provides a wider range of drag settings, along with the smoothest Shimano drag performance ever.

HAGANE Body
Hagane Body means this reel has a high rigidity and zero twist. The body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body flexing. The result transforms the anglers actions directly into cranking power. It’s efficiency through strength.

HAGANE Gear
Hagane Gear is at the very heart of the reel and creates strength and durability. The entire cold-forging process is calculated in minute detail by special 3D design and the result is precision durability.

Propulsion Line Management System
The most obvious component of the Propulsion Line Management System is the new Propulsion spool lip design. Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer simulations it has been determined that this new spool lip design provides longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. It also allows the line to flow off of the spool in smaller loops during the cast which means less slap on the stripper guide.

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

X-Ship
By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with the S-ARB bearings and integrating bigger drive gear, Shimano increased the gearing efficiency and power. This results in a fishing reel with ultra-light handle rotation; less effort and power giving a perfect rotation even under heavy loads.

The Rod
The new Shimano #KAOS Spinning Rod is designed from the ground up by the team at Shimano NZ to suit New Zealand species and fishing conditions. Featuring the new vibrant WINN grips, this rod not only provides top end comfort, but also a unique feel, only previously found in custom rod builds. The T45 blank construction, with its internal carbon wrap is used on industry leading Toray carbon which creates a light, balanced and crisp action with outstanding blank recovery. The #KAOS also features Fuji soft touch reel seats and guides to highlight and complete the whole aesthetics and quality of this class leading rod. When it comes to lure fishing, whether it’s dropping Shimano metal lures or casting softbaits and small top water lures, the Shimano #KAOS has it covered.

WINN Grips
Unlike traditional cork or EVA grips, the new WINN grips are made
from high quality polymer formulated to provide firmness, texture,
sensitivity and comfort even when wet.
