Shimano Stella SW C Spinning Reel – STLSW14000XGC

The Shimano Stella SW C Spinning reel – STLSW14000XGC is the latest addition to the Stella Spinning Reel series. Renowned for their durability, power, and ease of use, Shimano continues to advance their technology, offering unmatched strength, reliability, and usability for saltwater anglers.

The Stella SW C boasts a robust metal structure with Shimano's distinctive HAGANE Body design, ensuring excellent impact protection and minimal flexing, even under heavy loads. The precisely aligned gears and components guarantee smooth and flawless operation throughout the reel's life.

A core feature of this reel, the HAGANE Gears, are cold-forged to provide unbeatable durability and a smooth angling experience. Shimano's X-Ship technology, which debuted in the Stella SWB model in 2013, uses a dual-bearing supported pinion gear arrangement to offer smoother winding under high strain, transforming the capabilities of spinning reels. X-Ship has since become a hallmark of Shimano reels, signifying smooth performance.

The 2019 Stella SW C enhances the winding experience further with Infinity Drive Technology, which optimizes winding torque by an additional 26%. Additionally, SilentDrive technology reduces play and noise in the worm shaft and drive gear, contributing to a smoother reel motion and quieter operation.

Key features also include Shimano's HeatSink Drag, which dissipates heat from the spool to keep surface temperature up to 100 degrees Fahrenheit cooler for optimal drag performance. The reel is also engineered with an IPX8 waterproof body, offering superior protection from saltwater and environmental elements, courtesy of X-Protect and X-Shield construction in key areas.

The Stella SW C series is available in ten different models to cater to a wide variety of saltwater fishing needs. The versatile range spans sizes from 4000 to 30000, accommodating everything from inshore fishing with lighter tackle to offshore fishing targeting large species.

The diversified range includes:

• HG (High Gear) models with mid-range gear ratios for versatility in fishing techniques.
• PG (Power Gear) models with lower gear ratios for extra power when jigging or bottom fishing.
• XG (Extra High Gear) models with high gear ratios for a faster lure retrieval rate.

The Stella SW C's impeccable performance allows for strength and reliability in a myriad of fishing situations.
