An exceptional combo designed to deliver superior performance and the best bang for your buck!

The Reel
Upgraded for increased power and enhanced durability, the new Shimano Stella SW 8000 HG Spinning Reel represents the pinnacle of innovation for Shimano reel technology and fish-fighting performance. And what's more the rotor and spool are smaller than most size 8000 reels - making it lighter and easier to handle while jigging.

Infinity Drive
This model is equipped with an infinity drive structure that uses a special low-friction bush to reduce the sliding resistance of the main shaft. A special surface treatment has been applied to the main shaft itself, further reducing friction. The rotation torque has been reduced by about 30% compared to the conventional model, resulting in a powerful reel that can be actively wound up even under heavy loads.

X-Protect
The Shimano Stella SW has the X protect structure on the line roller in addition to the stopper bearing, further improving the waterproof performance.

The Rod
The Shimano Ocea Plugger Limited Medium Topwater Spin Rod utilises Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank construction with the ability to withstand a 60-degree fighting angle. A light rod with uncompromised strength. Shimano's patented Spiral X blank construction reduces blank twist and leads to longer, more accurate casting. Less blank twist also makes it easier to pull on big fish and takes pressure off the angler. Hi-Power X technology reduces ovalisation and increases strength to protect from breakage. Spiral X combined with Hi-Power X provides you with a best-in-class strength-to-weight ratio popping and plugging rod.

Hi-Power X
In Hi-Power X construction, the blank's outermost layer is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape, which forms an array of X shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp control by the angler.

Spiral X
Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a blank made of vertical fibres, an inner layer, and an outer layer both comprised of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fibre sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and fighting fish. Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's Spiral X construction enhances your catching power.
