Conquer the Impossible
STELLA SW which has achieved many results both in Japan and overseas has been remodeled with a number of technologies. Gained further advantages such as improved drag performance by XX TOUGH DRAG, improved castability by INFINITYLOOP, improved gear strength and durability by INFINITYXROSS, prevention of line trouble by ANTITWISTFIN, and more. Also, details such as the addition of a waterproof seal to the handle knob and increasing in diameter of the drag knob have been reviewed and upgraded in every direction. New STELLA SW is unleashed with further refined performance to face the big fish head-on in the saltwater scene.
By using an aluminium alloy and verifying the thickness arrangement in detail through repeated 3D analysis, we have achieved tougher rigidity, durability, and excellent rotation balance than ever before. This high rigidity also contributes to improved functionality of the drag and other parts.
A high-rigidity cold-forged handle that transmits the angler's power without loss.
To increase rigidity, the bail arm is made of metal, just like the rotor. It transmits the power of the Stella SW without distortion during high-load line retrieval and drag running. The metal plating treatment maintains a smooth surface for a long time. It reduces damage to the line.
The surface is treated with a special process (diamond-like carbon) to reduce friction and prevent line wear. It is also equipped with a contact-type waterproof seal that blocks seawater from entering the line roller section. This protects the internal bearings from harsh environments, and the durability is improved by more than 10 times compared to non-equipped models. *According to our comparison test.
The line roller, which takes the force of large fish, is equipped with a mechanism to prevent loosening. The bolt that stops the line roller is doubly fixed with a set screw to make it even more difficult to loosen.
The handle knob is made of the carbon material CI4 , which is both highly rigid and lightweight. (The 14000 series uses a lightweight hollow oval round knob.)
