To make this setup ready for your next offshore adventure, the reel comes pre-spooled with 350 yards of Varivas Avani Casting PE8 braided line.
Engineered for serious tuna anglers, this premium combination delivers exceptional casting performance, powerful drag capabilities, and the strength needed to battle giant bluefin tuna. Whether you're throwing large surface poppers, stick baits, or other heavy offshore lures, this combo is built to perform when it matters most.
Shimano Ocea Plugger Bluefin Tuna Popping Rod
Experience unparalleled power and precision with the Shimano Ocea Plugger Bluefin Tuna Big Game Popping Rod. Built specifically for targeting giant tuna, this 7'3" rod features Shimano's proprietary Spiral X Core technology, delivering 10% greater torsional rigidity and 15% greater compressional rigidity compared to standard rod construction.
The addition of Toray Nanoalloy and Hi-Power X technology further enhances rod strength, reduces unwanted blank twist, and improves recovery speed while maintaining a lightweight, responsive feel. Rated for 250g lures and 80–100 lb line, this rod provides the backbone needed to cast large offshore lures and fight powerful tuna.
Its two-piece construction offers added convenience for transportation without sacrificing the performance demanded by serious offshore anglers.
Shimano Stella SW D Spinning Reel
Redefine innovation and conquer the impossible with the Shimano Stella SW D. Representing the pinnacle of Shimano's saltwater spinning reel technology, the Stella SW D combines exceptional cranking power, advanced drag performance, and superior line management.
Built around Shimano's legendary cold-forged HAGANE gearing, the Stella SW D introduces InfinityXross technology, which extends gear teeth horizontally to distribute pressure more evenly, improving durability under extreme loads.
Shimano's innovative XX Tough Drag system relocates the upper drag washer to the top of the spool while increasing washer size. This design improves drag durability, reduces heat accumulation, and delivers smooth, consistent pressure during prolonged battles with powerful offshore species.
The addition of InfinityLoop technology utilizes variable spool oscillation speeds to create an exceptionally even line lay, improving casting distance and minimizing unwanted drag fluctuations. Combined with Shimano's Anti-Twist Fin, redesigned drag knob, and optimized spool lip, the Stella SW D offers outstanding line management and reliable performance.
With an impressive 66 pounds of maximum drag, a 5.7:1 gear ratio, and 50 inches of line retrieved per crank, this reel is ready to take on some of the ocean's hardest-fighting fish.
Pre-Spooled with Varivas Avani Casting PE8 Braided Line
This premium combo comes professionally spooled with 350 yards of Varivas Avani Casting PE8 braided fishing line, eliminating the need to purchase and spool your reel separately.
Designed for demanding offshore casting applications, Varivas Avani Casting braid provides the performance and reliability serious tuna anglers demand. Paired with the Ocea Plugger and Stella SW D, this line completes a high-performance setup designed for casting large lures and battling powerful pelagic species.
