Shimano Stella SW-C Spinning Reels
The Stella SW brings strength, reliability and ease of use to serious saltwater anglers. Featuring a Hagane body, Stella SW boasts a highly rigid metal construction. This means improved impact resistance and less body flex. At the heart of the reel, state of the art Hagane gears are cold forged for lasting durability and smoothness. Infinity Drive technology offers an improved winding experience, optimizing winding torque by 26%. Silent Drive further improves smoothness by eliminating worm shaft and drive gear play. An all new Shimano Heatsink Drag improves performance by transferring heat away from the spool, reducing spool surface temperature by up to 100 degrees. X-Protect and X-Shield ensure your investment is guarded from the harsh elements of a saltwater environment so you can fish with confidence. Stella SW is lighter, more powerful and more reliable than ever before. The Stella SW-C also feature other premium Shimano Technology such as:
- AERO WRAP II: For superb line lay allowing for tangle free distance casting
- ONE-PIECE BAIL: For ease of use
- IPX8 WATERPROOF BODY: In the drag and body to help protect your investment from the elements
To have your reel professionally spooled for only the cost of the line itself*, feel free to visit our Braided Line Per-Yard page or try some of our customers' favorite lines below!
*All reels will be backed with 20lb Clear Berkley Trilene Big Game Monofilament to fill the spool at no additional cost if the ordered length of braid alone does not fill the spool. To have your reel spooled with straight braid, either: 1. Order a quantity of braid that will overfill the spool and we will refund the difference, or 2. Contact Us with your request and we will promptly spool your reel and contact you with the exact length of braid to add to your order. For more detailed spooling instructions, such as the additions of leaders or topshots using specific knots, crimps, and/or hollow core splices, please Contact Us as well. If you can dream it, we can rig it!
