About

The beginnings of Shimano dates back to the early 1920’s, when this company was founded by Shozaburo Shimano. Shimano was then regarded as company for precision engineering, and nowadays the name is a synonym for high quality fishing equipment and one of the forerunners in product innovation. Due to high quality and innovative ideas, Shimano entered the US market in 1965 and Europe in 1972. Not long after, Shimano patented Setplate design for Baitcast and designs the first low profile bait-cast reel for Lew’s in America. Thanks to all the achievements, Shimano kept expending its boundaries, thus decided to move into the Australian market in the late 1981. Few years later Shimano Australia Tty.Ltd was established, and in 1992 was acknowledged for a major success.

One of the innovations was the release of the first STELLA model, one of the most popular Shimano brands these days. Every year Shimano kept launching new, innovative models that helped improve fishing and stayed on the market for years. 2009 will stay remembered for releasing one of the most popular models Shimano has produced, the Stella SWB. Shimano stands out from the rest thanks to the ability to design and produce fishing tackle that features unique cutting-edge technology like the high efficiency (HEG), A-RB and TC4 Construction.
