Shimano - 25 STELLA SW 8000XG + FREE XBraid

The Shimano Stella SW 8000XG is an extra high gear weapon built for serious offshore casting and jigging. With a 6.2 gear ratio, 119cm per crank and a compact, rigid rotor, it’s made for burning stickbaits and metals at kingfish and tuna, while still feeling smooth and controlled for vertical work on PE3–4. X Tough Drag, Infinity Loop and full SW sealing give you the confidence to lean on heavy drag in rough New Zealand conditions.

• Extra high gear 6.2 ratio – 119cm per handle turn for fast plugging, stickbait and popper work on kingfish and tuna
• X Tough Drag system – powerful, stable drag tuned for PE3–4 jigging and casting when you need to lock up on big fish
• Infinity Loop line lay – ultra-tight, controlled spooling for smoother casting, better distance and reduced line digging with heavy PE
• Infinity Cross drive gear – widened tooth contact and high-rigidity gearing to keep the reel smooth under hard load
• Anti-Twist Fin & AR-C spool – helps tame slack line, reduce wraps on the spool skirt and minimise wind knots with long leaders
• X Protect & X Shield sealing – IPX8-level body and stopper protection for surf spray, wash and offshore abuse
• Compact 8000 rotor & CI4+ knob – lighter, more stable rotor and grippy handle for less fatigue during all-day jigging
