Shimano Stella SW

The Stella SW represents the pinnacle of saltwater reel innovation. Shimano’s ultimate spinning reel, with a worldwide reputation for excellence beyond comparison, delivers almost infinite power for anglers who want the very best, without compromise.
If you are a serious saltwater angler, you’ll already know all about Stella’s reputation for excellence. For over 30 years it has been Shimano’s flagship reel, with each incarnation pushing the boundaries of engineering into areas thought unattainable. Stella owners know exactly what it delivers – power, performance, and pleasure, in equal measures. Using a Stella is a memorable experience. With the elegance of design, the attention to detail, the immense power, and the silky smoothness, it’s an unbeatable combination like no other.
There is so much technology in a Stella SW it almost deserves its own book or website. Packed with the very latest gearing technology and refinements, nothing is excluded. HAGANE Gears, X-SHIP, torque increasing InfinityDrive, Heat Sink Drag, the best water protection, the list is endless, and the result is perfection. You will never feel underpowered with a Stella, no matter what you fish for. From locking down solid on an oversized, brutally aggressive GT close to a coral reef, to slowing down a speeding sailfish, or casting into the surf searching for Sea bass, the power in your hands is almost infinite. Admittedly Stella costs a serious amount of money, but it is a very serious, very special reel. If your dedication to fishing matches its uncompromising nature, then this is the reel for you.
“If you are looking for the very best fixed spool reel that money can buy, a reel that when talking in terms of top end performance is unrivalled, Stella is that reel. Regardless of whether you are looking for a reel to cast lures for bass in the UK or hurl monster poppers for giant trevally or tuna in the Mediterranean, Stella is the best reel money can buy.” – Dave Lewis (Shimano Ambassador)
