Infinite Power

The highly anticiapted new Shimano Stella SW series has arrived and represents the pinnacle of fishing reel technology on the planet!

Infinity Drive

The current X-Ship system provides light and powerful winding, by supporting both ends of the pinion gear with bearings. The new Stella SW employs an even more advanced
system, called ‘Infinity Drive’. With the new system, the pinion gear inner does not make contact with the main shaft, as high-sliding bushing supports the main shaft.

With this new structure, sliding resistance of the main shaft is drastically reduced. In addition to this, a special skidding coating on the main shaft helps to further reduce sliding resistance. InfinityDrive cuts handle rotation torque by about 30 per cent in comparison to the conventional system, and makes the reel more powerful. This enables anglers to wind more aggressively, even under heavy load.

Heatsink Drag

The current X-Tough Drag’s epoch-making structure, in which the drag mechanism is positioned at the lower part of the spool, has delivered overwhelming drag performance and improved durability. But the new Stella SW employs a more advanced ‘Heat Sink Drag’, which stands up much better to heat. The ‘Heat Sink Panel’, where the heat generated by drag is released, stops any decrease in drag performance, due to thermal sagging, by around 50 per cent. The ‘Insulation Sheet’, which blocks heat transfer to the spool, prevents spool temperatures from increasing by around 30 per cent. The evolution of the new drag system is easier on the line and more stable than ever.

X Protect – IPX8 Waterproof Performance

X-Protect was developed for stopper bearing protection in the previous model and provided high level waterproofing. The new Stella SW employs X Protect for its line roller as well, and further improves its waterproofing performance. As well as the stopper bearing, the route water could pass through is blocked off by the sealing member, as shown in the figure below. It can withstand even high water pressure. The new structure protects bearings inside the line roller from the harsh saltwater environment, and bearing durability is ten times greater than conventional designs.
