The Shimano Stella SW is the ultimate saltwater spinning reel, engineered to meet the demands of big game anglers who pursue the strongest fish in the harshest environments. Built with Shimano’s HAGANE body and cold-forged gears, it offers outstanding rigidity, superior impact resistance, and long-lasting smoothness even under heavy loads. Infinity Drive technology reduces internal friction to increase winding torque by up to thirty percent, allowing anglers to crank with less effort and more power. The SilentDrive system refines the gear alignment to eliminate play and unwanted noise, ensuring quiet and silky operation.
For extreme battles with tuna, GT, or other giants, Stella SW features Heatsink Drag, a unique system that efficiently disperses heat from the spool to maintain drag consistency and protect lines from weakening. Waterproofing reaches IPX8 standards through the combination of X-Protect, X-Shield, and a sealed HAGANE body, keeping saltwater out and performance intact. The reel also incorporates advanced drag systems such as Cross Carbon Drag or X-Tough Drag depending on model, both designed to deliver smooth and reliable pressure with excellent heat resistance.
With AR-C spool design and a seamless one-piece bail, casting distance and line management are optimized while minimizing tangles. S A-RB bearings, coated for extra protection, resist saltwater intrusion and ensure durability. Additional features include X-Ship, Propulsion Line Management, Aero Wrap II, and DLC-coated components, all contributing to premium performance. Available in sizes from 4000 to 30000, the Stella SW line covers a wide spectrum of fishing styles including casting, jigging, and heavy offshore big-game applications. This reel stands as the flagship of Shimano’s saltwater lineup, offering unmatched strength, reliability, and refined engineering.
