Shimano Stella SWC 5000 HG | 2020 Stella SW New size
The STELLA SW-C 2019 needs no introduction: it’s Shimano’s most high-end, durable, strong and powerful SaltWater spinning reel which is recognized for it’s quality and durability by anglers all over the world.
The reel has been improved on many points:
- It is even stronger
- more tough
- more durable and...
- more powerful
The 19 STELLA SWC is built to be very strong and powerful, making it possible to fish for big saltwater species with spinning tackle.
INFINITY DRIVE is a new construction that eliminates sliding resistance and realizes light winding in both load and no-load conditions. Handle rotation torque is reduced by approximately 30% compared to the conventional X-SHIP construction.
During drag operation accumulated heat in the drag mechanism reduces drag force and in addition the increase of spool temperature can damage PE lines. The conventional X TOUGH drag realizes an overwhelming improvement in both drag performance and durability with a revolutionary structure in which the drag mechanism part is located at the lower part of the spool. Shimano’s HEATSINK DRAG is the evolution of the conventional X TOUGH drag and manages the heat efficiently in two ways. Firstly, heat is released through a heat sink panel on the bottom of the spool resulting in 50% more drag force retainment. Secondly, an insulation sheet in between the drag mechanism and the spool surface area results in a 30% lower spool temperature.
When you have a massive dogtooth, southern bluefin tuna, giant trevally or blue marlin hooked up and disappearing over the horizon or aiming for the bottom of the ocean, the X-Tough Drag, with increased washer size and Coil Wave Spring continues to deliver drag consistency at every setting and for the full duration of the fight.
E.I Surface treatment doubles the durability of the spool surface and gives less wear out by eliminating oxidation.
