Shimano Stella FD 2500 Spinning Reel

Featuring the new Propulsion and Paladin systems as well as the Aero Wrap II system, the Stella FD features a magnesium frame and sideplate along with an aluminum rotor to achieve its light weight, while maintaining its strength. The Stella FD also features a proprietary gear coating on top of the normal Paladin Gear Durability Enhancement that increases its durability even more.

SR Handle

This handle screws directly into the drive gear, resulting in zero play between the handle and gear. The 1000 size handle is a very thin solid shank, while the larger sizes use a hollow handle shank, that reduces weight while maintaining extremely strong and durable properties.

 

SR Balanced Body

The body is balanced from the tip of the spool to the rear of the reel. This balance, along with the lightweight magnesium frame, makes it much easier to fish all day long without fatigue.
