Stella FK

Stella is SHIMANO’s ultimate spinning reel – evolved. Featuring a remarkable amount of new technology, the Stella reaches new heights of excellence and offers unparalleled performance for anglers wanting the very best. If you are the type of angler who wants the very best, without compromise, the latest version of the Stella is for you. Building on its iconic status, Stella has been through an evolutionary re-design with a new range of technologies. These developments are a work of engineering genius and touch just about every part of the reel including the gearing, line management and drag. They are developments that will make your fishing more efficient, more effective and ultimately more enjoyable. SHIMANO calls it ‘Infinity Evolution’… but to anglers across the world, it will be known simply as Stella. Fishing with the Stella is an unforgettable experience, enhanced by the introduction of three new ‘Infinity’ technologies.InfinityXross delivers a more durable gear construction than the highly acclaimed Hagane gear. This offers more durability, especially when under extreme pressure, resulting in increased lifespan of the reel.InfinityLoop is an ultra slow spool oscillation, with improved line lay. This measurably reduces line friction when casting, giving better casting performance.InfinityDrive produces powerful yet lightweight rotation, especially under heavy loads. In extreme situations, you can still maintain constant, consistent cranking pressure. For trouble-free line management, a completely new feature called Anti-Twist Fin has been developed that controls the pressure on the line that goes through the line roller onto the spool. And if all of that isn’t enough, there is a new drag system called Duracross which offers improved drag smoothness, durability and hooking power. The Stella is available in 12 models to cover all uses and preferences and is also saltwater safe. Stella - the pinnacle of engineering achievement, for anglers who want the very best.

Product Technologies

Hagane Gear The HAGANE Drive Gear is produced by Shimano’s coldforging technology, without the need for additional machining. This delivers a longlasting smoothness, strength, lightness and power at the very heart of the reel. Traditional diecast, machined gears are less durable under heavy loads.	Micromodule_II Improved Micro Module gearing, making the reeling extreme smooth.	MGL rotor The new design of the Magnumlite Rotor produces unprecedented light rotation. The rotor profile, which was previously symmetrical, is now asymmetrical. The bail arm mechanism, which was previously situated on the same side as the line roller, has been moved to the opposite side. This improves balance and combined with a lightweight line roller, titan bail and optimum arrangement of rotor thickness, a 14% saving in rotation inertia has been achieved increasing sensitivity to previously unreached levels.	Hagane Body The HAGANE Body is produced from highrigidity aluminium or magnesium. This creates stiffness and impact resistance, while at the same time eliminating flexing of the body. The result is a rocksolid housing and support for the moving internal gearing and greater efficiency throughout the reel.	Infinity Loop A structure in which the speed at which the spool moves up and down is reduced to an overwhelmingly low speed. The precise winding pattern greatly reduces the resistance to line release. The result is a smooth casting feel and smooth feeding of light rigs.
InfinityXross A new gear design method created by advances in manufacturing technology and gear tooth design. By dispersing the load applied to the tooth surface over a wide area during gear meshing, this revolutinary design has prevented damage caused by concentrated damage and greatly improved durability.	InfinityDrive INFINITY DRIVE is a new construction that eliminates sliding resistance and realizes light winding in both load and no-load conditions. INFINITY DRIVE is a non-contact construction where the inside of the pinion gear does not touch the main shaft. This reduction in sliding resistance is achieved by the application of a special low friction bushing which holds the main shaft and in addition a by the application of a special surface treatment to the main shaft itself. Handle rotation torque is reduced by approximately 30%* compared to the conventional X-SHIP construction.	Duracross A revolutionary drag washer constructed to enhance overall durability is built from cutting-edge materials woven in a unique pattern compared to conventional drag washers. Without sacrificing a smooth drag feel, this material is more than 10 times more durable for added performance.	Silent_Drive Removed ‘clicking’ sound and ‘handle play’ and overall improved smooth reeling.	Anti Twist Fin Flexible polymer fins are installed near the line roller. This maintains line tension to reduce sagging and prevents the line from falling off the bottom of the spool or wrapping aournd the spool in an uneven manner.
XProtect The contact type triplelip structure is introduced to the roller clutch, the pivotal point concerning water resistance. In this structure, the first lip prevents water from entering through the space between the rotor and the body. In addition, the special grease between the second and third lip where it makes contact with the rotor collar located at the upper part of the roller clutch not only resists water from entering but also minimizes friction resistance. Without jeopardizing the ‘silky smooth rotation capacity’, the vital feature of STELLA SW, exceptional water resistance, has been achieved to withstand the crashing and splashing of waves and spray.	G Free Body G Free Body technology has been developed to shift the reel’s centre of gravity closer to the rod. This has been achieved by moving the worm shaft oscillation mechanism 19mm from the bottom of the reel to the top. By moving the centre of gravity closer to the anglers hand position, the G Free Body helps to reduce fatigue and enhance casting comfort.	ARC Spool Shimano ARC Spool is a patented spool design with an angled spool lip. This design enables the line to leave the spool with less friction and in smaller coils resulting in longer more accurate casts. ARC spools are proven to reduce backlash and wind knots when using braid.	Long_Stroke_Spool The long stroke spool has longer stroke compared to conventional spool designs. This longer stroke specification results in greater casting distance.	Rigid Support Drag Rigid Support Drag eliminates spool movement and wobble, even at light drag settings. The result is an incredibly smooth drag even at extremely light settings.
S ARB Shimano S ARB bearings are high corrosion resistant ARB ball bearings with an extra shield for improved protection against sand, salt or dust.	One Piece Bail The onepiece bail wire has no gap for line to snag on during normal operation. Made of Stainless Steel, it reduces friction and allows the line to get onto the line roller quicker.
