2019-2020 Equipment Catalogue Spinning Reels
THE NEW STELLA FJ HAS THE SMOOTHEST, MOST EFFICIENT DRIVE TRAIN, WITH UNPRECEDENTED DURABILITY, THAT SHIMANO HAS EVER ENGINEERED.
The introduction of MicroModule II, with its unique gear teeth and surface design, delivers amazing smoothness and resilience above and beyond the already unmatched Hagane gear quality.
With five times the water resistance thanks to X-Protect, the long- term effects of saltwater exposure will not change the FJ’s smoothness of operation, even after years of use. Silent Drive further enhances Shimano’s engineering in the pursuit of perfection, and almost every tolerance aspect of the reel that could be improved to reduce wobble and play has been completely overhauled. This creates a luxurious feeling and silence of operation not felt in any reel before.
Hagane Gear, Hagane Body, X-Ship, G-Free Body, Anti-Tangle Rotor, a Long Stroke spool and a host of other key Shimano developments round out what is clearly the new benchmark in spinning reels — the Stella FJ.
From the fundamental, whole body design to the most intricate parts of the drive train, including the drive gear, wormshaft, wormshaft pin and wormshaft gear, every piece has been carefully reviewed, and the smallest clearance gaps and wobbles have been eliminated to the highest tolerances.
A new generation of silky smooth winding performance and pristine silence has been achieved.
