These reels are amazing, Super Smooth with upto 15 Ball Bearings. If you want the best and seek and enjoy fine quality regardless of cost. The Stella Shimano Series are the Ultimate spinning reels.Super Stopper® II is Shimano’s exclusive instant anti-reverse system. Built with a one-way roller bearing that eliminates all back-play in the handle—for instant hooksetting power. Fluidrive® gearing means that your reel was manufactured with the highest tolerances and utmost control in the gear-cutting process, to ensure a smooth, powerful retrieve every time. Power Roller® reduces line twist by as much as 50%. The roller’s special grooved design assures that the line will be evenly wrapped on the spool, to minimize loops and twists that can occur on the cast. DynaBalance® eliminates wobble on the retrieve by counter-balancing the the rotor to enhance sensitivity and smoothness. Computer balancing is used to redistribute the rotor weight, allowing easy rotation with virtually no vibration. Anti-Rust Bearings are made of stainless steel and treated with a special coating that greatly increases their corrosion resistance. These specially coated bearings will last at least 10 times longer than standard stainless steel bearings in high-salinity environments. Also features: Water-proof Drag Super Slow Oscillation Forged AL Spool Aluminum Frame
