The wait is over. The most anticipated saltwater spinning reel release of the year has finally arrived. The Shimano 25 Stella SW is now available at Tackle World stores across Australia.
For decades, the Stella name has been a symbol of excellence in the fishing world. Known for its unmatched smoothness, strength, and precision, the Stella series has been the go-to choice for anglers who want the best. Now, Shimano has taken things to the next level with the new 25 Stella SW. This reel is built for serious saltwater battles and has the upgrades to prove it.
Whether you are a seasoned offshore angler chasing giant trevally or marlin, or a high-end buyer investing in your first premium saltwater spinning reel, the Stella SW offers the perfect blend of innovation and reliability.
Why the Stella SW Is a Game-Changer
The Shimano Stella SW has always been a benchmark in saltwater spinning reels. The new SWD model takes the proven platform and refines it even further, delivering performance that will impress even the most experienced anglers.
Key Features and Innovations
- XX Tough Drag – A newly engineered drag system that delivers incredible smoothness, even under extreme loads. Designed to handle high heat and maintain performance during long, hard fights with powerful fish.
- Infinity Loop – Slower spool oscillation results in superior line lay, improving casting distance and accuracy. Perfect for when you need that extra reach to present your lure to a wary predator.
- Infinity Xross – An enhanced gear tooth design that increases strength and longevity, so your reel can handle relentless pressure season after season.
- Anti Twist Fin – Reduces line wrapping and tangling for consistent performance, especially important when using braided lines in saltwater conditions.
- Refinements Across the Board – Shimano has added a waterproof seal to the handle knob, increased the size of the drag knob for easier adjustments, and improved ergonomics for all-day fishing comfort.
These innovations make the Stella SW one of the most advanced and capable saltwater spinning reels on the market today.
Built for Australian Waters
The Stella SW is designed to perform in the toughest conditions, and that makes it perfect for Australia’s diverse and challenging saltwater fisheries.
Heading to the Coral Sea to target giant trevally on poppers? Planning a bluewater trip for marlin or tuna? Looking to hook a hard-running Spanish mackerel along the coast? The Stella SWD has the drag performance, casting ability, and durability to get the job done.
Popular Australian applications for the Stella SW include:
- Topwater casting for GTs over reef systems
