Shimano Stella SW 2025 – Conquer the Impossible
The number one premium Shimano spin reel is back — and now better than ever. The 2025 Stella SW has been tested rigorously in Japan and across the globe, delivering unmatched strength, smoothness, and durability for serious saltwater anglers.
Engineered for peak performance, the Stella SW comes in three models to suit your fishing style: HG for versatile casting and jigging, PG for dedicated jigging power, and XG for high-speed saltwater casting and topwater action.
Packed with Shimano’s latest innovations, the new Stella SW features XXTOUGH Drag for improved heat resistance and stopping power, INFINITY LOOP for extreme casting distance, INFINITY CROSS for stronger gearing, and the ANTI-TWIST FIN system for dramatically reduced line trouble. An upgraded handle-knob seal and larger drag knob further enhance control and reliability.
The 2025 STELLA SW is here — refined, relentless, and ready for anything.
