HAGANE

HAGANE is a Shimano reel design concept created to withstand continual use and extreme abuse. HAGANE is an innovation with built-in toughness and durability that works alongside Shimano's precision engineering. HAGANE is for all anglers.


STELLA SW | SPINNING SW | REELS | PRODUCT (18)

HAGANE GEAR

With amazing strength and durability, the HAGANE Gear is at the very heart of most Shimano reels. Shimano, through the application of state-of-the-art technologies, gives anglers the long-lasting smoothness and enjoyment that is felt when anglers first use a reel, over and over again. No cutting work is applied to the teeth of the drive gear during fabrication; instead, the entire surface is calculated in minute detail by a special 3D design and then formed by Shimano's cold-forging technology. The result is assured resilience. HAGANE Gear is the result of Shimano's endless pursuit for durability — this strength and power of forged metal continue to represent the fundamental concept of Shimano reels.

X SHIP

X SHIP provides improved gear performance. Large diameter drive gear, optimally positioned pinion gear and drive gear, and two points bearings supported pinion gear produce light reeling under load.


STELLA SW | SPINNING SW | REELS | PRODUCT (20)

HAGANE BODY

The use of lightweight and rigid metals such as aluminum and magnesium firmly suppresses deflection, distortion, and torsion of the reel. This protects delicate gear meshing and enables smooth reeling.

INFINITYDRIVE

INFINITYDRIVE is a new main shaft supporting structure that improves winding torque and allows for incredibly smooth and light rotation.


STELLA SW | SPINNING SW | REELS | PRODUCT (22)

HEATSINK DRAG

HEATSINKDRAG is a revolutionary structure to prevent the drag force reduction by drag heat. The ''HEATSINK panel'' located at the bottom of the spool dissipate heat generated by drag. In addition, the "heat-insulating sheet" has succeeded in reducing the temperature rise in the winding area.

STELLA SW | SPINNING SW | REELS | PRODUCT (23)

SILENTDRIVE

The basic design of the entire body and drive-related parts were reviewed one by one to reduce minute rattles, gaps, and shaking between parts down to the smallest detail. It provides smooth and quiet reel rotation.


STELLA SW | SPINNING SW | REELS | PRODUCT (24)

X SHIELD

The body is water-resistant equivalent to IPX8 by water-resistant seals on the body, side covers, and other parts of the body.


STELLA SW | SPINNING SW | REELS | PRODUCT (25)

X PROTECT

Large reels for saltwater, a contact-type water-resistant structure is used for large spinning reels that require higher water-resistant performance. By physically cutting off the entry path of seawater with a low-sliding seal member, high water-resistant performance is achieved while suppressing rotational resistance. The stopper bearing and line roller parts are adopted, and the stopper bearing part in particular achieves a water-resistant rating equivalent to IPX8.


STELLA SW | SPINNING SW | REELS | PRODUCT (26)

X TOUGH DRAG

Each washer is made of only metal and carbon to support the spool from both the top and bottom. Smooth and stable drag performance has been refined by improving heat resistance and durability.


*Excluding 4000HG and 4000XG

STELLA SW | SPINNING SW | REELS | PRODUCT (27)

AR-C SPOOL

The spool has a special spool ring shape. This creates a rectifying effect on the line and realizes both suppression of line trouble and long casting performance.


STELLA SW | SPINNING SW | REELS | PRODUCT (28)

RIGID SUPPORT DRAG

By strengthening the spool support of the main shaft, the play and fluctuation of the spool during drag operation are reduced. The RIGID SUPPORT DRAG allows smooth and consistent drag delivery.


STELLA SW | SPINNING SW | REELS | PRODUCT (29)

CROSS CARBON DRAG

The CROSS CARBON DRAG provides the smooth drag release and the durability.


STELLA SW | SPINNING SW | REELS | PRODUCT (30)

SA-RB

S A-RB bearings are put through the same process as Shimano’s A-RB bearings but feature shields on both sides of the bearings. These shields reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the rotation of the bearing.


STELLA SW | SPINNING SW | REELS | PRODUCT (31)

ONE-PIECE BAIL

ONE-PIECE BAILallows the line to travel unimpeded to the line roller. The seamless design reduces friction and decreases the chance of tangles or the line catching on the bail arm.
