Shimano Stella 2500 FI Spinning Reel

A class all of its own

The Shimano Stella 2500 FI Spinning Reel is all about style and finesse. This reel is perfect for light line applications in both fresh and saltwater, from pristine rivers to the expansive New Zealand coastlines.

Micromodule Gear Technology
Micromodule Gear Technology delivers a new level of smoothness and reduced vibration for easier winding and better contact with the lure being retrieved. This is brought about by superior gear design and alignment, yet with the same strength and durability we've come to expect from the Shimano Stella range.

S-Direct Gear
With the S-Direct Gear, you get more precise gear component alignment, reducing movement of critical parts within the reel. Coreprotect involves a sealed bail arm line roller, rotor and roller clutch, so the Stella FI can be fished in a variety of environments without being affected by sand, dirt or water.

G Free Body
G Free Body means the reel's centre of gravity has been moved closer to the rod by positioning the worm shaft oscillation mechanism at the top of the reel body for less winding fatigue.

As befitting a reel series like this, to keep everything moving smoothly, this reel has 13 SA-RB Bearing and an all new design anti-reverse bearing, which generates less friction and lighter handle rotation. Additionally, there's a Titanium Bail Arm, a larger, ergonomically shaped drag knob for adjusting the new Coil Wave Spring Drag, a longer spool shape for greater casting distance and a redesigned line clip for when the reel is not in use.

Shielded Anti-Reverse Bearings
These bearings have been through the same process as the A-RB bearings, but feature shields on both sides of the bearings that reduce the possibility of salt or sand inhibiting the bearings' rotation.

X-Ship
By supporting the pinion gear on both ends with the S-ARB bearings and integrating bigger drive gear, Shimano increased the gearing efficiency and power. This results in a fishing reel with ultra-light handle rotation; less effort and power giving a perfect rotation even under heavy loads.

Aero Wrap II Oscillation System
Aero Wrap II is a worm gear oscillation system with a specially designed pitch to create optimal oscillation speeds for the Propulsion Spool Lip design. It provides uniform line lay and winding shape to prevent loss of energy during the cast while providing longer casts than other oscillation systems. So, casting distance increases with less effort required.

E.I. Anti-Corrosion Surface Treatment
After the anodisation process is finished, a second layer of surface treatment is added. This treatment is forced into the remaining surface impurities. This gives salt no hideout and also results in an extremely smooth-to-the-touch finish. A reel with E.I. treatment has more than double the corrosion resistance of a standard anodised reel.

Superior Aircraft-grade Aluminium
A6063 aluminium is used for its increased corrosion resistance and A7075 is used for its extremely low mass resulting in lower start-up inertia.
