STELLA FB
  • The SR-Concept combines the new concept of Reliance with all aspects of the S-Concept: Smooth, Silent and Strong. The Reliance Concept, or R-Concept, means that dreams in reel design are now evolving into reality. The result of the use of the new S-R Concept in design is the development of many exciting new features.
  • SR-3D Gear Designed using 3-D analysis, this gear allows for more contact between teeth for increased power and efficiency
  • Rigid Support Drag This innovative new feature eliminates spool wobble, even at light drag settings.
  • SR-Guard Fin The SR Guard Fins are coated with titanium for increased resistance to impact damage.
  • SR-Handle This handle screws directly into to the drive gear, resulting in zero play between the handle and gear. The 1000 size handle is a very thin solid shank, while the larger sizes use a hollow handle shank, that reduces weight while maintaining excellent durability.
  • SR-One-Piece Bail This one-piece stainless steel bail wire has no gap for line to snag on during normal operation.
  • All Weather Drag The drag washers are protected by a waterproof gasket and provide a wide range of settings, low start up inertia, and excellent durability.
  • S-Concept Represents Shimanos initial philosophy on which many of our spinning reels have been designed. The three basic ideas that are inherent in the S-Concept are Smooth, Silent and Strong.
  • Super Slow Oscillation Lays the line perfectly onto the spool for the best line lay and castability.
  • S-Arm Cam A protruding surface on the bail arm keeps slack line in contact with the line roller to reduce the chance of tangles and line cuts.
  • S-Rotor Compact and lightweight to ensure a comfortable retrieve.
  • S-Guard Protects the body of the reel from impact damage.
  • S-Finish A multi-coated treatment that produces an extremely durable, beautiful finish.
  • S-Shield Body Rubber shields at the rotor and body prevent harmful sand or water from entering the drivetrain.
  • S-Bail A flexible spring material used in the bail assembly helps to avoid a bent bail wire situation.
  • Wide Diameter Drive Gear Provides incredible torque and an easy retrieve.
  • Direct Drive Mechanism The drive gear is directly attached to the handle shaft for an increased transmission of power.
  • Low Wear Rate Pinion Gear Double the hardness of our standard pinion gears for increased durability.
  • Maintenance Port A sealed plug that can be removed using a screwdriver to easily lubricate the drivetrain without disassembling the reel.
  • Magnesium Frame Our magnesium frames are safe for use in saltwater and provide an extremely lightweight reel.
  • Magnesium Sideplate
  • Aluminum Rotor
  • Cold Forged Aluminum Spool with Titanium Lip
  • Black Almite Super Duralumin Drive Gear is a high strength, low weight gear that is coated to provide scratch and corrosion resistance (available only on 3000 and 4000 models).
