Shimano Stella

Many anglers would tell you that the Shimano Stella is a great work of art when it comes to reels. At first glance, its features would immediately draw you in and even more so when you learn of the fact that it is also considered to be the pinnacle when it comes to the Shimano Company’s spinning technology that they are constantly trying to develop. The specifications for the Stella are as follows:
Line Capacity (lb/yards) 8/220, 10/185, 12/150, 16/100 Gear Ratio 5.2:1 Line Retrieve per Crank 29 inches Weight 8.3 oz Bearings 12BB + 1RB
When you first pick up and hold a Shimano Stella in your hand, you would find it hard to tell that it is actually made of magnesium. It is a considerably “light weight” reel but one shouldn’t dismiss it as being a featherweight. The whole look of the reel gives off a confident look as well as a well thought out design. The gearing system was also noticeably upgraded for this model. However, the Stella isn’t for every angler but those who do choose to buy it will not regret having done so. It truly lives up to expectations and is worth every penny of its price. It is very durable and would surely last the angler a long time of use. The upgrade is great and the newer retrieve system is also a favored feature as well. Any kind of maintenance issue can be easily overlooked and remain minimal. Overall, the inshore aficionado, if willing to pay for the price and quality offered by the Stella would truly enjoy its many benefits.
