Shimano Stella 8000 SWB HG and Grappler Type C S80M Topwater Spin Combo 8ft PE5 2pc

Effortless power and smooth casts

The Shimano Stella 8000 SWB HG and Grappler Type C S80M Topwater Spin Combo is ideal for top water casting to pelagic species such as Kingfish, GT, and Tuna. Tough and powerful with superb casting capability.

The Reel
The Shimano Stella 8000 SWB HG Spinning Reel is proof that Shimano’s setting even higher standards for reel technology. This reel combines the latest in gear technology with top-of-the-line materials. It’s constructed using aircraft-grade aluminium making it tough and lightweight. The Shimano Stella 8000 SWB HG Spinning Reel is your partner in taking on big fish and reeling them in quickly.

S-Anti-Reverse Bearings
These bearings have been through the same process as Shimano's A-RB bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearings rotation.

CF Aluminium cold forged spool
These spools provide increased strength and durability over diecast aluminium graphite spools.

Super stopper II
Super Stopper II anti-reverse uses a one-way bearing that eliminates backplay. This provides you with instant hook setting power. In some reels, the Super Power II can be turned off to allow backreeling for special techniques and situations.

X-ship
By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with our S-ARB bearings and integrating a bigger drive gear, Shimano increased the gearing efficiency and power. This results in a fishing reel with ultra-light handle rotation.

Paladin gear durability enhancement
Your reel stays nice and shiny like you just got it out of the box! Reels equipped with the Paladin gear durability enhancement maintains that smoothness Shimano is famous for. The combination of cold forged aluminium drive gear and hardened brass pinion gear makes the reel more durable than an all-stainless steel drivetrail.

Aero Wrap II
Aero wrap is a worm gear oscillation system with a specially designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds for the Propulsion Spool Lip design. It provides uniform line lay and winding shape to prevent loss of energy during cast while providing longer casts than other oscillation systems. So casting distance increases with less effort required.

Dyna-balance
Enjoy smooth reel rotation, every time. The Dyna-balance feature eliminates wobble during retrieve by counter balancing the roto to enhance sensitivity and smoothness. By using computer balancing, an approach similar to car tire balancing, Shimano is able to redistribute the rotor weight to create smooth rotation and eliminate vibrations casued by the reel.

Superior Aircraft-Grade Aluminium
A6063 aluminium is used for increased corrosion resistance and A7075 is used for its extremely low mass resulting in lower start-up inertia.

Fluidrive II
Building upon the successes of Fluid Drive, which provides extremely tight tolerances and control in the cutting process, Fluidrive II polishes the gear surface tp maximise tooth contact. This increases the efficiency of the retrieve for more power with less effort.

The Rod
The Shimano Grappler Type C S80M Topwater Spin Rod focuses on effortless power and smooth casts. It features both Spiral X and Hi-Power X blank construction for increased strength and less power loss during jerking and fighting. Plus it uses double-footed MN guides for higher strength and rigidity. Perfect for fishing with stickbaits and popper lures.

Spiral X
Spiral X construction consists of three layers: a blank made of vertical fibres, an inner layer and an outer layer, both comprising of carbon tape that tightly winds the blank diagonally in opposite directions. By using this carbon tape in place of a conventional horizontal fibre sheet, Spiral X achieves enhanced torsional rigidity without adding extra weight. This in turn facilitates instant power transmission for precise casting and for fighting fish. Through its exclusive lightweight structure, Shimano's Spiral X construction enhances your "catching power".

Hi-Power X
In Hi-Power X construction, the blank's outermost layer is diagonally wrapped with carbon tape which forms an array of "X" shapes. The width of the tape, its winding angle, and the part of the rod being wrapped are fine-tuned according to the target fish species. The flexibility allows Shimano to adjust these wraps during construction for precise actions, enhanced overall strength and added twist resistance. In short, Hi-Power X construction delivers sharp and crisp rod control.
