New Shimano Spheros

(1/8) > >>

Luke Wyrsta:
There seems to be talk around that Shimano will be releasing a Spheros version specfically for jigging.

This will involve upgrades such as carbontex washers, stella handle and bushing replacement straight from the factory.

Can anybody shed some light on this new reel?

Andrew Poulos:
Havent heard ,but sounds like the version Bluewater put out too. Maybe Dunphys have cottoned on to all the mods and are releasing from the factory a beefier version.

True Andrew, however, i am also lead to believe that there will be changes to internals such as a different gear ratio. This could also mean a possible upgrade of all component quality.

Sounds like it may have been in the pipeline for a while.

Will be good to see another quality option available on the mid to low priced jigging reel market :)

Andrew Poulos:
I dont think I can get away with getting another reel so soon after the dogfighter and a penn850 as backup.

lonhro:
WHAT
your telling me you've got a DF and a penn and you want a spheros ????
hmmmmmmmmmm
well you guys already know i guess but, when i was looking into a reel for popping heaps of people reccomended a spheros 14000 and you get the upgrade package from dunphy sports for $100 bucks which has the better washers and a bearing and the stella handle. but nothing in the likes of gears and stuff.
hmmm
this said and done if ya really want the new spheros i will get it and swap you for the DF lolololololol i wish hehe
