SHIMANO’S Stella 4000SW spin reel won the prestigious Best New Reel category at last year’s Australian Fishing Tackle Association trade show held at the Gold Coast.
The 4000SW joins its six larger models and is packed with features like 14 SA-RB bearings, Paladin Gear Treatment and EI Surface Treatment for increased corrosion resistance in a saltwater environment.
A gear ratio of 6.2:1 recovers 95 centimetres of line with each turn of the handle, and Dyna-Balance keeps retrieves wobble-free, no matter how fast you’re winding.
The Stella 4000SW casts sweetly thanks to Aero Wrap II and the Propulsion Spool Lip managing line as it enters and leaves the Cold Forged AR-C spool.
It holds 220 metres of four kilo mono or 250 metres of 15 pound Power Pro braid. A maximum drag setting of 11 kilos means that this reel, while small in stature, is big on stopping power and can be used on a variety of inshore and offshore sportfish.
