Abu Garcia Superior Spinning Reel 40SH 7kg 98cm 6.2:1 5

Abu Garcia Superior 40SH – High-Speed Spinning Power

The Superior 40SH combines a fast 6.2:1 gear ratio with 7 kg of drag power in a lightweight, DuraMetal body—engineered by Abu Garcia's Japanese team for anglers chasing predators with demanding techniques.

Fast Retrieve for Active Fishing

With 98 cm line recovery per turn and a 6.2:1 high-speed gear ratio, the 40SH excels at rapid lure presentation, quick hooksets, and maintaining control over hard-fighting fish. The 2WAY DRAG system and Water Shield carbon matrix hybrid drag deliver consistent stopping power up to 7 kg.

Built for Braid and Reliability

The shallow spool design optimizes braided line performance, while 5 bearings (4 HPCR stainless steel ball bearings plus 1 roller bearing) ensure smooth operation. A Salt Shield bearing in the inner pinion gear protects against corrosion, and the Always-ON Instant Anti-Reverse eliminates play for solid hooksets.
