New 2018 Stella FJ
The smoothest most efficient drivetrain in a spinning reel is now even smoother and more efficient with improved durability. Introducing the new Shimano Stella.
The new Micro Module II provides a new ideal gear design and gear teeth surface for amazing smoothness and nearly twice the strength of Shimano’s already unmatched gear durability.
X-Protect makes the new Stella up to five times more resistant to the long term damaging effects of water than the previous model, so every turn of the handle is sure to feel as good as new even after years of use.
Plus, new Silent Drive, long stroke spool, tangle proof rotor design, and a host of other new high end features means Stella truly represents a benchmark in Shimano spinning reels.
New MicroModule II Gear is smoother and 2 times stronger than previous model
New X Protect is up to 5 times more water resistant than previous model
MicroModule 2
Hagane Improved gear and Barrier surface treatment
X-Protect + Labyrinth construction
Long Stroke Spool
Tangle Proof Rotor design
Improved Line Clip
Coiled Wave Spring Drag
Reduced friction roller clutch
Smooth opening bail
Silent Drive is a total redesign and ultimate refinement of all functional and moving parts. By eliminating play at the micron level and tightening tolerances, we have created the smoothest and most durable Stella, ever. Major internal design changes to reduce sound from the reel. A large emphasis on eliminating excessive play to reduce sounds or clicks from moving parts.

Bantam 150 MGL
40 years ago, Shimano released it's first baitcast reel, Bantam, to the market. This began what is now a legacy of durable and high performance casting reels.
The 2018 Bantam MGL establishes a new benchmark for rigidity. The new CoreSolid Body design combines multiple parts and integrates the B-side, frame and levelwind guard into a single aluminum piece with unmatched solidity. This full aluminum construction will give anglers the rigid feeling of a round reel, with the ergonomics and comfort of a low profile reel.
MGL Spool reduces spool inertia to improve casting distance and ease pitching and flipping.
CoreSolid body design incorporates the frame, B side and level wind guard into one piece. This creates a very rigid and solid body which helps increase sensitivity.
