2025 Shimano Stella SW D Spinning Reel
Conquer the Impossible. The New Stella SW Has Arrived.
The 2025 Stella SW D is engineered for anglers who demand absolute performance, delivering Shimano’s most advanced technologies ever integrated into a saltwater spinning reel.
Built on Shimano’s legacy of cold-forged HAGANE® gearing, the new Stella SW D features InfinityXross™ technology — extending gear tooth contact horizontally to distribute load more evenly and drastically increase long-term durability under extreme pressure.
Shimano also debuts XX-Tough Drag™, a redesigned drag system that places the upper washer on top of the spool and increases drag surface area dramatically. The result is greater drag durability, improved heat dissipation, and smoother performance when it matters most.
Next-Level Line Management & Casting Distance
The 2025 Stella SW D introduces a suite of casting, winding, and line-lay enhancements:
InfinityLoop™
Asymmetrical worm-shaft grooves adjust oscillation speed depending on spool direction, creating an exceptionally even line lay. Benefits include:
-
Longer, smoother casting performance
-
Reduced drag spikes during battles
-
More stable winding under load
Anti-Twist Fin
A new elastic polymer fin under the line roller stabilizes line flow during retrieves, minimizing slack line and improving line management.
Refined Spool & Rotor Design
A redesigned drag knob, enhanced spool lip geometry, and updated rotor engineering combine to:
-
Increase casting efficiency
-
Improve line pickup
-
Maximize power transmission during heavy fights
The Pinnacle of Shimano Saltwater Engineering
The 2025 Stella SW D blends new breakthroughs with proven Shimano technologies to deliver unreal cranking power, unbeatable drag performance, and unmatched smoothness.
Conquer the impossible. Land the unforgettable.
The new Stella SW D has arrived.
