Shimano Stella SW D Spinning Reels

Available in the traditional sizes, Stella SW D has added an XG gear ratio to the 6000 size as well as an all-new 25000 size. Stella SW D features a HAGANE Body, for high rigidity and durability. At the heart of the reel is InfinityXross gears, featuring a state-of-the-art tooth design for superior load distribution across the teeth without compromising Stella’s smooth reeling. Infinity Drive uses a low-friction bushing and proprietary surface treatment to reduce friction, enabling powerful reeling even under the heaviest of loads. Silent Drive further improves smoothness and eliminates vibration by decreasing tolerances between the worm shaft and drive gear. In sizes 14000 and higher, XX Tough Drag is now coupled with Heatsink Drag. This significantly improves performance and durability by transferring heat away from the spool, reducing spool surface temperature by up to 30%. X-Protect and X-Shield ensure your investment is guarded from the harsh elements of a saltwater environment. 2026 Stella SW D is now lighter, more powerful, and more reliable than ever before. Conquer the impossible.

• XX Tough Drag: Shimano’s innovative XX Tough Drag technology modifies the reel’s drag construction by moving the upper drag washer to the top of the spool and significantly increasing the drag washer size. Utilized on 10000-size reels and above, XX Tough Drag offers enhanced durability, improved heat dissipation, consistent drag operation, and increased drag adjustment range.
