Shimano Stella SW Reel
Featuring a HAGANE Body, the Stella SW offers a highly rigid metal construction for improved impact resistance and reduced body flex. At the heart of the reel, state-of-the-art HAGANE Gears are cold-forged for lasting durability and smooth operation. Infinity Drive Technology enhances the winding experience by optimizing winding torque by up to 30%. SilentDrive technology eliminates worm shaft and drive gear play for a smoother performance. The new Shimano Heatsink Drag improves heat management by transferring heat away from the spool, reducing spool surface temperature by up to 100 degrees. X-Protect and X-Shield provide protection against harsh saltwater conditions, ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.
