Shimano introduces the all-new Saragosa SW BFC, engineered for the serious billfish angler who demands peak performance when a tournament win or world record is on the line. As the premium counterpart to the tournament-proven Talica BFC in Shimano's Billfish Concept (BFC) lineup, the Saragosa SW BFC dominates when casting live baits, targeting billfish tailing at sea, or cutting through dense bait balls on the surface.
The Saragosa SW BFC features an optimized drag system for sailfish, marlin, and other billfish species, specifically designed for light-line applications. With a lower overall drag and minimized drag spike, this reel outperforms the battle-tested Saragosa SW A during fast runs. Shimano’s Rigid Support Drag (RSD) minimizes spool play and deflection, delivering smooth, consistent drag throughout intense fights.
Boasting the fastest retrieval rate on the market at 56 inches per crank, the Saragosa SW BFC allows anglers to maintain tight pressure on sport-fish running off the bow of a center console or during extended offshore battles. Designed for high-stakes offshore fishing, this reel ensures precision, durability, and confidence in the toughest conditions. Upgrade your billfish gear with the Shimano Saragosa SW BFC, and stay connected to every strike while dominating trophy saltwater species.
