Never stopping the pursuit of innovation, the Shimano Stella FK Spinning Reel takes a new step towards being a world-class leader of technology & performance. The Stella bloodline has been known got generations to continue this pursuit and the Stella FK surely continues with this trend.

The Stella FK features many proven Shimano technologies, such as cold-foraged HAGANE gears, HAGANE body, MIcroModulle II, silent drive, X-Ship and more. This new generation is given several new technologies such as InfinityXcross technology, Duracross drag system, InfinityLoop technology, and Anti-Twist Fin. Shimano’s new InfinityXcross technology extends the gear teeth horizontally to distribute the load across the gear tooth more evenly, thus providing enhanced gear durability. This technology essentially reduces hotspots on the gear teeth themselves to even the load. Duracross drag system provides the smooth performance of a felt drag that is often seen on smaller freshwater reels where very light line is used, however with the toughness and capability of Cross Carbon drag. InfinityLoop enhances the spool oscillation to produce a more even line lay throughout the retrieve, therefore reducing line friction when casting due to a lesser line lay. Lastly, a new Anti-Twist Fin (an elastic polymer on the underside of the roller) as well as a redesigned drag knob and fortified propulsion lip, provides superior line management and enhanced reeling performance.

For the angler looking for the Swiss watch of high-end freshwater, inshore & nearshore performance in a spinning reel platform, the Stella FK is where it’s at. The Stella line continues to be feature-rich with all the latest and greatest technology to give the angler the most unrivaled performance on the water.
