The Shimano Stella SW is more than just a fishing reel; it's a statement. Since its inception, the Stella series has been the benchmark against which all other saltwater spinning reels are measured.
Performance Analysis
In our tests, the Infinity Drive system provided a level of cranking power we've never felt in a spinning reel. Fighting 100lb bluefin tuna felt controlled, even at maximum drag settings.
The Verdict
If you can afford the entry price, there is simply no better tool for the job. It is a masterpiece of Japanese engineering.
