The new Stella FK is SHIMANO's definitive spinning reel: evolved. Equipped with a significant amount of new technologies, the Stella FK reaches new heights of excellence and offers unprecedented performance for anglers who want the best. If you are the type of fisherman who wants the best, without compromise, this new version of the Stella is for you. Building on its iconic status, Stella FK has undergone an evolutionary redesign with a new range of technologies. These developments are a work of engineering genius and touch almost every part of the reel, including the gears, line handling and drag. These are developments that will make your fishing more efficient, more effective and ultimately more fun. SHIMANO calls it "Infinity Evolution" ... but to anglers all over the world it will be known simply as Stella. Fishing with the Stella FK reel is an unforgettable experience, enriched by the introduction of three new "Infinity" technologies. InfinityXross offers a stronger rig construction than the acclaimed Hagane rig. This offers greater durability, especially under extreme pressure conditions, resulting in an increase in reel life. InfinityLoop is an ultra slow coil swing, with improved line layout, this measurably reduces line friction during casting, providing better casting performance. InfinityDrive produces a powerful yet light rotation, especially under heavy loads. In extreme situations, it is still possible to maintain a constant starting pressure. For trouble-free thread handling, a completely new feature called Anti-Twist Fin has been developed which controls the pressure on the thread as it passes through the thread guide roller on the bobbin. And if all of that wasn't enough, there's a new drag system called Duracross that offers improved drag smoothness, durability, and hooking power. The Stella FK is available in 12 designs to cover all uses and preferences and is also saltwater safe. Stella FK - the pinnacle of engineering success, for anglers who want the best.
