Shimano Stella 2500FI release

The Shimano Stella 2500FI release is designed for light line applications in both fresh and salt water. Shimano have incorporated new technology into this most recent release.

Micro-module Gear Technology offers smooth operation and reduced vibration for easier winding. The gear design and alignment is stylish, yet has the same strength and durability as the rest of the Shimano Stella range.

S-Direct Gear means more precise gear component alignment, reducing movement of critical parts within the reel. Core-Protect involves a sealed bail arm line roller, rotor and roller clutch, so the Stella FIs can be fished in a variety of environments without being affected by sand, dirt or water.

G Free Body means the reel's center of gravity has been moved closer to the rod by positioning the worm shaft oscillation mechanism at the top of the reel body for less winding fatigue.

To keep everything moving smoothly, each Stella has 13 SA-RB bearings and an all-new design anti-reverse bearing, which generates less friction and lighter handle rotation.

Additionally, there's a Titanium Bail Arm, a larger, ergonomically shaped drag knob for adjusting the new Coil Wave Spring Drag, a longer spool shape for greater casting distance, and a re-designed line clip for when the reel is not in use. The Stella 2500FI is quite simply in a class all of it's own.
