Stella SW D features a HAGANE Body, for high rigidity and durability. At the heart of the reel is InfinityXross gears, featuring a state-of-the-art tooth design for superior load distribution across the teeth without compromising Stella's smooth reeling. Infinity Drive uses a low-friction bushing and proprietary surface treatment to reduce friction, enabling powerful reeling even under the heaviest of loads. Silent Drive further improves smoothness and eliminates vibration by decreasing tolerances between the worm shaft and drive gear. In sizes 14000 and higher, XX Tough Drag is now coupled with Heatsink Drag. This significantly improves performance and durability by transferring heat away from the spool, reducing spool surface temperature by up to 30%. X-Protect and X-Shield ensure your investment is guarded from the harsh elements of a saltwater environment. 2026 Stella SW D is now lighter, more powerful, and more reliable than ever before.

Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives anglers the long-lasting smoothness and pleasure that is felt when anglers first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear during fabrication, instead the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by special 3D-design and then formed by Shimano's cold-forging technology. The result is assured resilience. HAGANE Gear is the fruit of Shimano's inexhaustible pursuit for durability — the strength and power of forged metal continues to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0328\/6299\/4563\/files\/XSHIPSPNNING_480x480.webp?v=1675614918\" width=\"170\" height=\"170\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"thumbnail__title\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eX-Ship Spinning\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"thumbnail__txt\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eX-Ship provides improved gear durability.
