The new Stella FK from Shimano is coming in the year 2022. The range presents sizes 1000, 2000, 2500, 3000, 4000 and 5000 with many specificities according to the references.
A reel of this level of quality deserves a particular attention and we propose to you to dissect the range to extract the technical specificities reference by reference. It is the flagship of the brand, and also the world market reel for many fishermen.
Understand the references of the reels
Some references have a C before the size. For example C2000S. This is short for "Compact". The reel has a small body, one size smaller than the one indicated, while the rotor and spool are the same size as the reel reference. This allows for a small reel with a larger spool that usually has more line capacity.
The H, for example on the C2000SHG size, stands for "High" in reference to the fast ratio. The X stands for "Extra high" for ultra-fast ratio.
The D, for example on the C3000SDH size, is for "double" for the double crank.
The S stands for "Shallow", a literal translation of "shallow" for the low-capacity coil.
