Shimano Stella SW C Spinning Reels Review

For jigging scenarios, you'd want the 18k or 20k Stella. Either model would pair up nicely with the 5'3" Grappler XXH. 

The<a href="https://www.tackledirect.com/shimano-txns70h-teramar-xx-northeast-spinning-rod.html"> Shimano TXNS70H Teramar XX Northeast Spinning Rod</a> will pair well with this reel. It'll give you the sensitivity jigging; also its 7'0" so it will also gi

The 4000 SW C Stella would be the best match for that rod and would balance well.

Go with the 6000. Should pair great. 

The 14000 has more line capacity and only weights .2 oz more than the 10000. I would go with the 14000, Tuna can rip out a lot of line fast, so that extra capacity without sacrificing extra weight is a great advantage.  

This is made in Japan. 

I would go with the 6000.

I would go with the 10K. You'd be able to effectively fish for larger bass, and would still have the stopping power for small-mid size tuna. 

The C in the model number just indicates which generation Stella this is, for example the next Stella model would most likely be listed as the SW D model.

This setup will be fine personally I recommend coming down to either a 14000 or 10000 to cut down considerably on reel weight and you still get more than enough capacity on those reels for the surf as well. 

The Stella FJs are geared more toward inshore saltwater fish like stripers, redfish, snook, etc., whereas the SWCs are designed for offshore saltwater species such as tuna, dolphin, wahoo, GTs, etc. 

Kelvin, the 18k will be too large. The 14000 has a very fast retrieve that is useful in certain situations like up at the canal and also locally for keeping sinking style topwaters up on the surface. If you are set on a Stella for surf fishing the 14000 o

The Shimano Stella 5000 will be the best fit for a rod of that size. 

That size is preorder at this time, still waiting for Shimano to release them for the first time. For Preorders we do not charge until the order is ready to ship, only an authorization is used at the time of order. Let us know if we can help answer any qu

This will be due to the spool. Shimano reduced as much weight as possible from the reel and since mono stretches unlike braid, it could bind up the spool and cause damage under heavy pressure. 

Depending on what you are fishing for, how you are fishing, and what you are fishing with lure or bait wise will help us recommend the best rod option for your application. 

At this time (4/10/2019), we have no confirmation that they will be producing them in the immediate future.

There were a few changes to make more specific reels for certain applications. One notable thing was the heatsink transfer system reducing heat means a longer life for your reel. As far as the drag poundage drop there's no exact reason why they lowered it

To soon to confirm that the 2019 Stella models will be here on time to make your trip 

The Shimano Stella reels are ambidextrous 

A more rigid body resulting in less body flex, The new infinity drive increases torque by 26% and Shimano's new heatsink drag transfers heat away from the reel resulting in reducing surface temps by up to 100 degrees. 

Best components in the fishing industry don't come at a cheap price and the 2019 models are priced better then the 2018 models 

It's somewhat close but the 14000 has a larger spool capacity.
