Shimano Stella SW C Spinning Reel – STLSW4000XGC

The Shimano Stella SW C Spinning Reels are the latest addition to the renowned Stella Spinning Reels collection. These reels have long been recognized for their durability, power, and ease of use in the fishing industry. Shimano continues to uphold this legacy by developing cutting-edge technology that provides professional anglers with unparalleled strength, reliability, and convenience when fishing in saltwater environments.

The Stella SW C stands out with its strong metal construction and Shimano's signature HAGANE Body. This design ensures superior impact resistance and minimal flexing, even under heavy loads. As a result, the internal gears and components stay properly aligned for flawless operation. The reel's core is made up of Shimano's HAGANE Gears, which are cold-forged to ensure smoothness and long-lasting performance.

The introduction of X-Ship technology in the 2013 Stella SWB revolutionized spinning gear fishing for targeting large fish. This pinion gear design supported by dual bearings enables smoother winding under extreme pressure, allowing fishermen to use spinning reels for bigger catches than ever before. X-Ship has since become a standard feature in many Shimano reels. The 2019 Stella SW C takes it a step further with the new Infinity Drive Technology, which optimizes winding torque by an additional 26%. To enhance smoothness, SilentDrive eliminates any play or noise in the worm shaft and drive gear. Meanwhile, the innovative HeatSink Drag conducts heat away from the spool, effectively reducing its surface temperature by up to 100 degrees and improving drag performance.

The waterproof body of the Stella SW provides anglers with complete confidence. With an IPX8 rating, as well as X-Protect and X-Shield features, the reel is built to withstand the harsh conditions of saltwater environments. These protective measures ensure your investment stays safe and functional.

The Stella SW C is available in ten different models, each offering a unique maximum line capacity and gear ratio to suit a wide range of saltwater fishing techniques. Starting with the 4000 size, designed for inshore fishing with lighter tackle, and going up to the powerful 30000 size, capable of handling the heaviest lines and targeting large species, there's a Stella SW C for every angler's needs.

The HG (High Gear) models feature a mid-range gear ratio that strikes a perfect balance between speed and power for various fishing methods. The PG (Power Gear) models offer lower gear ratios, providing extra power and torque for jigging and bottom fishing. Conversely, the XG models have a high gear ratio, enabling faster recovery rates when casting lures. In 2019, Stella SW C once again raises the bar for strong and reliable performance.
