The Shimano Stella SW 14000 XG Spinning Reel has been upgraded for greater strength and lasting durability, setting a new standard in Shimano’s reel technology and saltwater performance. As the flagship model in the Stella SW series, it incorporates advanced features such as Infinity Drive for smooth, effortless cranking power and a newly enhanced Heatsink Drag system that performs reliably even under intense heat.

Thanks to the combined protection of X-Protect and X-Shield, the reel achieves an IPX8 waterproof rating, while the rugged Hagane Body, made from aluminum, provides exceptional rigidity and resilience. A redesigned rotor further reduces the overall weight compared to earlier Stella SW versions, making this reel even more responsive. The 14000 XG variant is specifically engineered for saltwater casting applications.

Key Technologies and Benefits:

Hagane Body
The rigid Hagane Body significantly reduces flex, ensuring maximum strength and efficient power transfer. Its stiffness and impact resistance allow anglers to convert every movement into effective cranking force.

Hagane Gear
Crafted using Shimano’s cold-forging technology and precision 3D design, the Hagane Gear is the core of the reel’s strength, providing long-lasting durability and ultra-smooth operation.

X-Protect
This technology combines a water-repellent coating with a labyrinth-style internal water-channeling system. It offers excellent water resistance while preserving light, smooth rotor and gear rotation.

X-Ship
By supporting the pinion gear with S-ARB bearings on both ends and incorporating a larger drive gear, X-Ship enhances gear efficiency and power transfer. The result is smoother handle rotation, especially under heavy loads.
