Shimano - 25 STELLA SW 8000PG

$1,73800

The Shimano Stella SW 8000PG is a power-geared jigging specialist built for deep, controlled work on PE3–4. With its slower 4.8 ratio and rock-solid X Tough Drag, it delivers precise lift-and-fall action, stable pressure on big kingfish and tuna, and effortless torque for long sessions offshore or from the rocks. A compact 8000 rotor keeps the reel balanced and responsive, while Infinity Loop and full SW sealing ensure clean line lay and long-term reliability.

  • Power gear torque – 4.8 ratio for slower, controlled jig lifts and reduced fatigue on deep-water sessions
  • X Tough Drag system – smooth, stable 25kg drag ideal for sustained pressure on big kingfish
  • Infinity Loop line lay – ultra-tight oscillation improves jig drop speed and reduces line digging with heavy PE
  • Infinity Cross gearing – expanded tooth contact for higher load strength and smoother winding under pressure
  • Anti-Twist Fin – helps prevent slack wraps and keeps long leaders seated cleanly on the spool
  • X Protect & X Shield – IPX8-level body sealing for harsh offshore conditions
  • Compact 8000 rotor – lighter, more stable feel for precise jig cadence and instant response

Highly Rigid Arm Cam

To increase rigidity, the arm cam is built from metal—just like the rotor. This allows it to transmit the Stella SW’s power without flexing, whether you’re winding under heavy load or the drag is screaming. The metal plating process keeps the surface smooth for longer and helps prevent any damage to your line.

X Rigid Rotor

By using an aluminium alloy and running repeated 3D analyses to fine-tune thickness and structural placement, the rotor achieves significantly increased rigidity, durability, and rotational balance. This added stiffness also enhances the performance of the drag system and other critical components.

Stella SW Dedicated Line Roller

A DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) coating on the roller surface reduces friction and helps prevent line wear. It also uses a contact-style waterproof seal that stops seawater from entering the roller assembly. This protects the internal bearings from harsh saltwater conditions.

AR-C Spool

The AR-C spool uses a specially shaped ring that smooths line flow, reducing tangles and boosting casting distance. The 25 Stella SW features an improved ring collar that helps stop the line from catching and prevents strangulation. Because SW fishing puts heavy stress on this area, the ring is treated with a highly abrasion-resistant coating to improve durability, protect your line, and maintain a smooth surface.
