The 2001 Shimano Stella SW 10000HG (often called the 01 Stella SW) is a classic heavy-duty saltwater spinning reel built for big-game offshore fishing. It features a high-gear ratio for fast line retrieval, a robust metal body, and powerful drag designed to handle large pelagic species.
Key Specifications
Gear Ratio: 5.6:1
Max Drag: 25 kg (55 lb class capability)
Line Retrieve: 116 cm per crank
Application: Saltwater jigging and offshore casting
Legacy and Maintenance
Collector Value: Early 2000s Stella SW models are prized by collectors and anglers who appreciate older-generation Japanese engineering.
Parts Availability: Finding replacement parts or original drive components can be difficult due to its age, though specialized reel mechanics still service them.
Performance: While lacking modern features like InfinityDrive or Heatsink Drag, it remains a robust piece of machinery if properly greased and maintained.
