Shimano Stella SW STLSW6000HGC Spinning Reel

Stella SW spinning reels continue their long history of leading the fishing world in durability, power and operability. Shimano builds on that tradition with technology now available on the popular Stella 8000PG and HG, 10000PG and 14000XG sizes, bringing further unmatched strength, reliability and ease of use to serious saltwater anglers.

Featuring a HAGANE Body, Stella SW boasts a highly rigid metal construction. This means exceptional impact resistance and less body flex. At the heart of the reel, Shimano-proven HAGANE Gears are cold forged for lasting durability and smoothness.

Shimano's new Infinity Drive Technology offers an improved winding experience, optimizing winding torque by 26%. SilentDrive further improves smoothness by eliminating worm shaft and drive gear play, along with any sound or clicking from all functional parts.

For even better drag performance, Shimano's new HeatSink Drag transfers heat away from the spool, reducing spool surface temperature by up to 100 degrees. Stella SW's IPX8 waterproof body along with X-Protect and X-Shield's water resistant construction in the line roller and roller bearing guard your investment against the harsh elements of a saltwater environment so you can fish with confidence. For 2019, Stella SW takes another step up in powerful, reliable performance.
