Reel SHIMANO Socorro SW

Shimano Socorro SW spinning reel

A reliable reel for beginners or those progressing in saltwater fishing

The Shimano Socorro SW is a spinning reel designed for saltwater fishing, built to offer robustness, versatility and comfort of use. It represents a serious solution for anglers looking to equip themselves with a reliable saltwater reel without turning to higher-end models.

Suited to coastal fishing and light to medium boat fishing, it allows various techniques to be practised, from lure casting to jigging, through to bait fishing. Its solid construction inspires confidence when fighting medium-sized saltwater fish with authority.

HAGANE gear and X-SHIP, power and smoothness

The Socorro SW benefits from HAGANE gear, a Shimano technology recognised for its resistance and durability. This mechanism ensures good power transmission during retrieval, even when the reel is put under stress during the fight.

Combined with the X-SHIP system, the gear gains in stability and efficiency. The result is smooth, consistent and pleasant rotation, with a better ability to maintain power when the line is under tension.

Cross Carbon drag for staying in control

The Cross Carbon drag provides the progressiveness needed to control powerful runs. It allows constant and steady pressure to be applied, an important asset when facing nervous or hard-fighting fish.

This design offers a good level of security during fishing action, limiting sudden jerks and helping the angler maintain control during the most intense phases of the fight.

Forged spool and long-distance casting

The Socorro SW is equipped with a cold-forged aluminium spool, robust and durable. It effectively withstands the stresses associated with saltwater fishing and contributes to the overall reliability of the reel.

The AR-C spool design promotes smoother line flow, improving casting distances and reducing the risk of tangles. This quality is particularly valuable during coastal fishing where prospecting demands precision and consistency.

A range suited to coastal and boat fishing

Available in several sizes, the Shimano Socorro SW covers a wide range of saltwater uses. The 5000 and 6000 models are suited to versatile coastal fishing, while the 8000 and 10000 sizes offer greater capacity and power for more demanding fishing applications.

It is aimed at anglers looking for a simple, solid and effective reel to target sea bass, bonito, Atlantic bonito, dentex, small tuna, medium-sized amberjack and other hard-fighting saltwater fish.
