Redefining innovation to conquer the impossible, the new Shimano Stella SW D sets a new benchmark for saltwater spinning reels. Building upon the legendary Stella lineage, this reel is engineered to deliver exceptional strength, durability, and performance in the harshest offshore environments. Designed for anglers who pursue the oceans most powerful game fish, the Stella SW D incorporates the most advanced reel technologies Shimano has to offer, offering refined power and unwavering reliability.

At the core of the Stella SW D is the integration of Shimano’s cold-forged HAGANE gear system, enhanced with new InfinityXross technology. This innovation distributes load more evenly across the gear teeth for unmatched gear strength and longevity. Shimano’s newly introduced XX Tough Drag system significantly enhances drag durability by relocating the upper drag washer and expanding its size. This reduces heat accumulation and ensures smooth drag performance even under extreme pressure. Together, these features offer elite-level control and power when targeting massive offshore species.

The Stella SW D also features cutting-edge line management technologies to maximize angler efficiency. InfinityLoop technology creates a more even line lay using asymmetrical worm shaft grooves, resulting in longer casting distances and consistent drag pressure. The Anti-Twist Fin, a flexible polymer component beneath the line roller, works in conjunction with a redesigned drag knob and spool lip to further refine line control and reeling smoothness. These enhancements make the Stella SW D not just a spinning reel, but a precision instrument built to dominate offshore waters and deliver peak angling performance.
