Reel STELLA SW SHIMANO

The STELLA SW needs no introduction: it is Shimano's most advanced, durable, strong and powerful spinning reel, recognized for its quality and durability by anglers around the world. The reel has been improved in many ways: it is even stronger, tougher, more durable and more powerful. The STELLA SW is designed to be very strong and powerful, allowing to fish large saltwater species with spinning. The range includes different sizes and gear ratios for different techniques and purposes.

• The ultimate in saltwater spinning reels with an excellent worldwide reputation, this reel is unmatched
• HAGANE gears and body for maximum strength and durability
• The new Infi nity unit increases winding torque by up to 26% and increases smoothness and play when reeling, while increasing power
• Enhanced X-Protect and X-Shield for maximum protection against salt water
• Heat Sink spool technology controls the heat created in the coil by the brake when operating at extreme speed to help maintain the original braking setting and also reduces in-line damage from excessive heat
• Size 8000 has a new displacement handle for more power and narrow rotor for a 23% reduction in rotational inertia
• Aero Wrap and AR-C spool for maximum performance in casting INFINITE POWER

SIZES: 4000, 5000, 6000, 8000, 10000, 14000, 18000, 20000, 30000

BEARINGS: 13 + 1

OSCILLATION: Aero Wrap II

Reliable waterproof performance that continues to withstand harsh conditions
[X Protect] for Line Roller

X-protect structure mounted on the stopper bearing of the previous model, which greatly contributed to the realization of high waterproof performance. In addition to the stopper bearing part, the NEW Stella SW is equipped with the X protection structure on the line roller part, further enhancing the waterproof performance. Similar to the bearing part of the plug, it has evolved into a structure that can withstand high water pressure by physically blocking the intrusion path of seawater with a sealing member as shown in the figure. The bearing inside the line roller is protected from harsh environments and the durability of the bearing is more than 10 times * compared to the conventional product.

* Based on our comparison test

• 

• Bearing durability is improved about 10 times or more

A sturdy and safe drag that can be run hard and stopped firmly, controlling the heat
Thermal insulation drag [Heat sink drag]

* Equipped only with # 10000 / # 14000 / # 18000 / # 20000 / # 30000 brake

Heavy Duty Conventional X has an age-old structure where the drag mechanism is positioned at the bottom of the reel, enhancing overwhelming drag performance and durability. Was made. This new model is equipped with a heat resistant brake that has evolved to be even more heat resistant. The "heat sink panel" that releases the heat generated in the drag portion to the outside of the spool improves the reduction of drag force due to heat deformation by approximately 50% *. In addition, we were able to reduce the temperature rise of the wire winding part by approximately 30% * by using the "insulation foil" which blocks the heat flow to the wire winding part. It has become a more stable resistor that is smoother on the line.

* Based on our comparison test

• 
• 

• Approximately 50% improvement in drag force reduction due to heat sink

  

• The temperature rise of the spool thread winding part is suppressed by 30%
