Shimano Stella SW-D 6000 XG

Shimano Stella SW – The Ultimate Saltwater Flagship

The Shimano Stella SW is the pinnacle of saltwater spinning reels – engineered for anglers who demand absolute performance when facing the ocean’s toughest predators. Renowned worldwide, the new Stella SW has been redesigned with cutting-edge technologies that elevate durability, smoothness, and raw power.

Key Features:

• XX Tough Drag – upgraded drag system with larger carbon washers and metal components, reducing drag loss from heat by approx. 30%. Extreme durability and smooth drag even under heavy runs.
• Infinity Loop – ultra-dense line lay for longer casting distance, better drag performance, and minimal line trouble.
• Infinity Xross – 1.3x wider gear tooth contact area for superior strength and gear longevity under high load.
• Anti-Twist Fin – elastic fins near the line roller reduce slack and prevent line drop onto the spool skirt.
• AR-C Spool – newly refined spool shape with abrasion-resistant coating, enabling longer casts, reduced line damage, and replaceable spool ring.
• X-Protect & X-Shield – IPX8-rated waterproofing in the body, drag knob, handle and line roller for maximum reliability.
• X Rigid Rotor & Handle – cold-forged aluminium construction for uncompromised rigidity, balance, and power transfer.
• Reinforced Line Roller – DLC coating and waterproof sealing increase durability more than tenfold compared to previous models.
