Shimano STL10000FA Stella FA Spinning Reel

Aluminum Frame. Aluminum Sideplate. Cold Forged Aluminum Spool with Titanium Lip. S Concept Represents Shimanos initial philosophy on which many of our spinning reels have been designed. The three basic ideas that are inherent in the S-Concept are Smooth, Silent and Strong. Super Slow Oscilation Lays the line perfectly onto the spool for the best line lay and castability. Slow Oscilation Lays the line in a parallel pattern for excellent castability and control. Maintenance Port A sealed plug that can be removed using a screwdriver to easily lubricate the drivetrain without disassembling the reel. S-Arm Cam A protruding surface on the bail arm keeps slack line in contact with the line roller to reduce the chance of tangles and line cuts. S-Finish A multi coated treatment that produces an extremely durable, beautiful finish. S-Guard Protects the body of the reel from impact damage. S-Shield Body Rubber shields at the rotor and body prevent harmful sand or water from entering the drivetrain. S-Rotor Compact and lightweight to ensure a comfortable retrieve. Stopperless Design means there is no anti-reverse switch for maximum protection against dust, sand and water. Manual Bail Trip (available only on 10000 and 20000 models only) brings added line control during freespool that is imperative to big-game seeking anglers. Direct Drive Mechanism the drive gear is directly attached to the handle shaft for an increased transmission of power. Pure Carbon Drag provides reliable and durable, smooth drag performance from light to heavy drag settings. Twin Disk Drag (available only on models 10000 and 20000) uses 2 large diameter drag disks made of the same material used in our Tiagra reels for unbelievable amounts of smooth drag performance. Disk Drag (available only on models 6000 and 8000) is a large diameter drag disk made of the same material used in our Tiagra reels and is located under the arbor of the spool. Black Almite Super Duralumin Drive Gear is a high strength, low weight gear that is coated to provide scratch and corrosion resistance. Low Wear Rate Pinion Gear Double the hardness of our standard pinion gears for increased durability. A-RB (Anti-Rust Bearings) are specially treated stainless steel ball bearings are at least 10 times more corrosion resistant than standard stainless steel ball bearings.
