Shimano Stella FK Buyers Guide
The size range has all the inshore applications covered. The 4000 and 5000 will give you access to a much larger class of fish and will provide brilliant sport in the blue or against prize-winning Barra and Murray Cod. The offshore anglers looking to pit small against big will also love the 4000 and the 5000 to test against Kingfish, Dolphin Fish, Snapper and other reef inhabitants and their pelagic cousins.
The 1000, 2500 or 3000 size provides a tournament-grade fishing reel to use against bream, flathead, Australian bass, trout and all your other lightweight opponents.
Benefits
- Infinity Loop is new Shimano technology that prevents friction and wind knots from forming on your braid line by allowing the line to flow freely from the reel during all stages of the cast. This means you can make longer, more accurate casts with less effort.
- Gear Strength has been overwhelmingly improved through the new infinity cross-technology. This means the gears will mesh perfectly every time for smoother, more precise gear engagement and less wear and tear.
- Silent Drive removes noise from clicking and handle play for the smoothest cranking available.
- Micromodule II is a more refined version of Micromodule, making for a highly smooth reeling experience, but with all the power and strength Micromodule is famous for.
- The G-Free body is achieved by putting the centre of gravity closer to the angler’s hand for reduced fatigue and enhanced casting.
- The one-piece bail has no gap for the line to snag. Friction is reduced, and your line hits the roller earlier after the cast.
- The Hagane Gear is produced by cold forging, which ultimately delivers smoothness, strength, lightness and incredible power.
- The Hagane body houses your gears, protecting them from flex and movement with high rigidity. The result is a mechanism of superb efficiency.
Whether you are a tournament Pro, or a seasoned angler that demands the best there is, the Shimano Stella FK Reel, for sale now, will become the leading fishing reel in your reel arsenal. Flawless in both appearance and performance, reels simply don’t get any better than this.
