The Stella's gear is attached directly to the handle shaft for increased power transmission, and the pinion gear is twice as hard as those in Shimano's standard reels. All-Weather Drag system uses a waterproof gasket and natural wool washers for low start-up inertia and 48 points-per-turn adjustability. Rubber shields at the rotor and body prevent dirt, sand and water from entering and damaging the drivetrain. Titanium-coated Guard Fins protect the body and rotor from impact. Arm cam on the bail keeps slack line in contact with line roller to reduce tangles and cuts. S-Finish, multicoated treatment produces a durable, beautiful finish. Lightweight magnesium frame and side plate. Model Line Ret/crank (in) gear ratio cap (lb/yds) STL1000FB 24 5.0:1 12/65 STL2500FB 29 5.2:1 12/120 STL3000FB 29 5.2:1 16/100 STL4000FB 29 4.6:1 20/110 |
