A rigid aluminium body and rotor help keep the gearing aligned under heavy load, while 5+1 sealed stainless steel bearings provide smooth operation with additional protection against saltwater intrusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA sealed Carbon Matrix drag system delivers controlled pressure when fighting powerful fish, with drag capability increasing across the larger reel sizes. The forged aluminium braid-ready spool, stainless steel main shaft and machined aluminium handle are designed for repeated saltwater use, while 14 seals and an IPX5 rating provide additional protection in wet and exposed conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe W4 W-SW range covers everything from strong shore and coastal spinning setups to heavier boat and offshore applications. The 5000 sizes offer a lighter option for lure fishing, while the 6000, 8000 and 10000 models provide increased line capacity, stronger gearing and additional drag power for heavier tackle. This makes the range useful for Irish coastal fishing as well as anglers travelling to warmer saltwater destinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5+1 sealed stainless steel ball bearings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRigid aluminium body and rotor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14 seals with IPX5 water-resistance rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSealed Carbon Matrix drag system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC aluminium main gear on 5000 sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC hard brass main gear on 6000, 8000 and 10000 sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel main shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDouble-anodised aluminium braid-ready spool\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCNC machined folding aluminium handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotor Brake system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManual bail trip on 6000, 8000 and 10000 sizes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLeft- or right-hand handle configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Models:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5000 FD SSG:\u003c\/strong\u003e 372g | 5.3:1 | 0.35mm \/ 360m | 87cm retrieve | 9kg drag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e5000 FD HSG:\u003c\/strong\u003e 355g | 6.2:1 | 0.35mm \/ 360m | 101cm retrieve | 9kg drag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e6000 FD MSG:\u003c\/strong\u003e 499g | 5.7:1 | 0.50mm \/ 343m | 99cm retrieve | 11kg drag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8000 FD MSG:\u003c\/strong\u003e 511g | 5.7:1 | 0.50mm \/ 411m | 106cm retrieve | 14kg drag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e10000 FD SSG:\u003c\/strong\u003e 732g | 4.9:1 | 0.65mm \/ 439m | 111cm retrieve | 21kg drag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy It Works for Irish Anglers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSaltwater fishing around exposed Irish coasts places considerable demands on reels through spray, rain, wind and repeated contact with saltwater.
