Shimano Stella FK Spin Reel – The Pinnacle of Spinning Reel Performance

The Shimano Stella FK Spin Reel represents the ultimate evolution of spinning reel design, built for anglers who demand nothing but perfection. Released in 2022, this flagship reel combines Shimano’s most advanced technologies to deliver unrivalled smoothness, strength, and durability in both freshwater and saltwater conditions.

Designed for serious anglers targeting everything from bream and bass in estuaries to hard-fighting pelagics offshore, the Stella FK ensures you’re always fishing with the best. Infinity Xross improves gear durability by optimising surface contact, while Infinity Loop enhances casting distance and accuracy with reduced line friction. Infinity Drive delivers effortless cranking power even under heavy loads, and the new Anti-Twist Fin minimises line sag and wind knots.

For drag performance, the Dura Cross system offers up to 10 times more durability than conventional drag washers, while Hagane Gear, Micromodule II, Silent Drive, and X-Ship work together to deliver buttery-smooth reeling under all conditions. Add in X-Protect water resistance, a Long Stroke Spool, and Shimano’s renowned build quality, and you have a reel that sits at the very peak of angling innovation.
