Available in the traditional sizes, Stella SW D has added an XG gear ratio to the 6000 size as well as an all-new 25000 size. 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. Conquer the impossible.
X Rigid Rotor
By using an aluminum alloy and verifying the thickness arrangement in detail through repeated 3D analysis, it realizes tougher rigidity, durability, and excellent rotation balance than ever before. This high rigidity also contributes to improved functionality of the drag and other parts.
X Rigid Handle
Highly rigid cold-forged handle specially designed for STELLA SW that transmits angler's power without loss.
High rigidity arm cam
Equipped with a metal arm cam, just like the rotor, to increase rigidity. Transmits the power of STELLA SW without distortion, such as when winding line with a high load and during drag running. Smooth surface is maintained for a long period of time by metal plating treatment. This reduces damage to the line.
*Excluding size 4000.
Line roller for STELLA SW
Special surface treatment (diamond-like carbon) reduces friction and prevents line wastage. In addition, a contact-type waterproof seal is installed to block seawater from entering the line roller section. The internal bearing is protected from the harsh environment, and durability is improved more than 10 times compared to the non-equipped model. *Based on our comparison test.
Line roller looseness prevention mechanism
The line roller section, which is the first to catch the pull of a large fish and is applied with force, is equipped with a mechanism to prevent loosening. The bolt that holds the line roller is doubly secured with a set screw to further prevent loosening.
*Excluding size 4000.
CI4+ handle knob
Adopts a handle knob made of carbon material CI4+, which combines high rigidity and light weight.
*Excluding sizes 14000–30000.
*Models in the 14000–30000 size range are equipped with a lightweight hollow oval round knob.
