Shimano Stella 6000 SWB HG Grappler Type C Topwater Combo 8ft PE5 2pc

Superior strength and reliability

The Shimano Stella 6000 SWB HG Grappler Type C Topwater
Combo is perfect for saltwater anglers who want a
heavy-duty rod and reel combo. The heavy-duty Grappler rod
complements the ultra strong and smooth Stella reel. Perfect for
the demanding fisho who needs a topwater combo that can keep
up!

The Reel
The Shimano Stella 6000 SWB HG Spinning Reel is a
benchmark among spinning reels! It’s part of a range that has been
meticulously engineered to handle nearly any sport fish found in
New Zealand’s prolific waters and also suited for the Kiwi angler
looking for adventure offshore. The Shimano SWV range of spinning
reels has the power of XShip which enhances power transmission
through the gear – this results in increased cranking power with an
extremely smooth feel when jigging and casting lures for extended
periods of time.

S A-RB
These bearings have been through the same process as A-RB bearings,
but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the
possiblity of salt or sand inhibiting hte bearings’ rotation.

XShip
By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with the S-ARB bearings
and integrating a bigger drive gear, the gearing efficiency and
power are increased. This results in a fishing reel with
ultra-light handle rotation, giving a perfect rotation even under
heavy loads.

Propulsion Line Management System
The most obvious component of the Propulsion Line Management system
is the new propulsion spoool lip design. Through tens of thousands
of casting tests and computer simulations, it has been determined
that this new spool lip design provides longer casting distances
than a standard spool lip design, while preventing backlashes and
wind knots from forming.

E.I
After the anodisation process is finished, a second layer of
surface treatment is added. This treatment is forced into the
remaining surface impurities. This gives salt no hideout, and also
results in an extremely smooth to the touch finish. A reel with EI
treatment has more than double the corrosion resistance of a
standard anodised reel.

Hagane Gear
Hagane Gear is at the very heart of the reel and creates strength
and durability. The entire cold-forging process is calculated in
minute detail by special 3D design and the result is precision
durability.

Hagane Body
Hagane Body means this reel has a high rigidity and zero twist. The
body stiffness and impact resistance virtually eliminates body
flexing. The result transforms the angler’s actions directly into
cranking power. It’s efficiency through strength.

AR-C Spool
Through tens of thousands of casting tests and computer
simulations, it’s been determined that this technology provides
longer casting distances than a standard spool lip design while
preventing backlashes and wind knots from forming. it also allows
the line to flow off the spool in smaller loops during the cast,
which means less slap on the strip per guide.

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.
