Shimano Reels Product 2008

STELLA FD
When money is no object and only the very best will do, the new Stella FD range of fixed spool reels should set your imagination running wild. Designed with a new screw-less construction around Shimano's benchmark SR-system components, with a stunning magnesium body - the new Stella FD is in a class of its own. With four models in the range, the 4000 edition has 13 shielded A-RB bearings with a roller bearing, bringing it up to a 17 ball bearing equivalent. The Stella FD is also available in a 3000 shallow spool version. Reels don't come smoother or sexier than this...ultra lightweight and oozing with high specification features from Shimano's benchmark SR portfolio.

STELLA FA
Next to the newly introduced Stella FB the ever popular FA keeps serving the discerning angler who demands the very best. The hallmarks of S-concept are evident in this sturdy reel. The use of carbon drag washers coupled with waterproof features results in a reel with totally reliable performance. Materials used for the body, rotor and other critical parts are carefully chosen to be able to withstand the rigors of heavy saltwater fishing. The FA ranges from a 5000 through to the mighty 20000. You will never go wrong with Stella FA.

ASPIRE RA
The Aspire RA is one of the most advanced rear drag reels Shimano has ever developed and the first to feature the Shimano "SR" concept. The Aspire contains many features such as a one-piece bail, high efficiency gears, Aero Wrap system with two-speed oscillation for perfect line lay and 3 high value ultra-light cold forged spools. The full range includes all traditional 1500, 2500 & 4000 sizes as well as a 3000 size with a shallow spool - designed for spinning and match fishing with lighter mono or braided lines.
