The iconic heritage of the Stella family embodies Shimano’s “conquer the impossible” mindset with the debut of the Stella SW D, designed to elevate angler performance through industry-leading Shimano reel technologies. Built upon the Shimano legacy of cold-forged Hagane gears for added strength, new InfinityXross technology extends the gear tooth horizontally to distribute load more evenly for unequaled durability.
The debut of Shimano’s XX Tough Drag technology modifies the reel’s drag construction by moving the upper washer to the top of the spool and significantly increasing the drag washer size. The result is greater drag durability and less heat accumulation for added performance.
Combining new spool and rotor innovations with proven Shimano technology increases casting and reeling performance with improved line management. Shimano’s new InfinityLoop technology leverages asymmetrical worm shaft grooves that change oscillation speeds depending on the direction of the spool movement to produce a more even line lay and beautiful winding shape.
To the angler, InfinityLoops technology increases casting distance and eliminates unwanted drag spikes for a heightened fishing-fighting performance. The combination of the new Anti-Twist Fin — an elastic polymer on the underside of the roller — with a redesigned drag knob and spool lip enhances reeling performance with superior line management.
Built for anglers chasing peak performance, the lightweight Shimano Exsence delivers smooth casting, powerful reeling and rugged durability — from saltwater to fresh.
The flagship reel of the MGL series, the Exsence features the Magnumlite Rotor — Ci4+ carbon and an asymmetrical design to cut weight and inertia for ultra-responsive control and smoother retrieves. InfinityLoop technology delivers longer, more accurate casts, ideal for finesse fishing. Rapid Fire Drag allows quick adjustments during the fight, while the Infinity Drive reduces resistance for effortless reeling.
