[Attractive Features & Recommended Points]

●Exceptional Smoothness and Quietness The new-generation Stella models feature Micromodule Gear II and Silent Drive. These technologies significantly reduce gear noise and friction, delivering an unparalleled smoothness from the very first turn of the handle.

●High Strength & Ultra-Lightweight Design The body uses HAGANE BODY, maintaining rigidity while keeping the weight around 170g. This makes it effortless to handle, allowing long hours of operation without fatigue, whether fishing light saltwater or stocked trout.

●Reliable Saltwater Resistance & Waterproofing With the non-contact structure of X-PROTECT, as well as protective designs in the line roller and stopper bearing, water and salt intrusion are minimized. Its high protective performance ensures peace of mind even in harsh environments typical of light saltwater games.

●Ample Drag Power and Retrieval Speed Maximum drag power is 3.0 kg. With a gear ratio of 5.1 and a handle retrieval length of about 69 cm per turn, this reel delivers noticeable power even with light lines. It is versatile enough for small trout to light saltwater species.

●No Compromise on Line Capacity Sufficient line capacity is ensured for nylon, fluorocarbon, and PE lines. For example, it holds 150 m of PE 0.6 and 110 m of PE 0.8, allowing anglers to handle sudden runs without concern.

●Ergonomic Operability With a 40 mm handle length, power is transmitted efficiently to your hand during casting and retrieval. This makes it easy to handle strong fish or sudden action without strain.
