Stella Parts Supplier?

(1/3) > >>

Kurt Carlson:
Does anyone know of a good supplier for Stella parts online?
Thanks.

Jon Li:
Hi Kurt ,

The best thing is to send it back to Shimano Service center , my old 1998 Stella 10000PG had a changeover of gear ratio recently from 5:1 to 6:1 due to the parts required to fix it was no longer available but the reel came back as new functionally , that is something for a reel 10 year old which was used on GT fishing .

Kurt Carlson:
Thanks for that Jon, but I only need the line roller.  It got some corrosion on it and the coating flaked off.  Looks like I need to improve my maintenance schedule.   :o  If I had major work to do I would send it somewhere.  I am also looking for drag washers and drag grease.  I was hoping this thread would produce an online supplier that people trust.

Hi Kurt ,

For just the line roller I guess you can just contact any Shimano Service center and from your location , it's a matter of knowing where the origin of most flight into the country , I heard in Shimano USA is very good in their service works .

I got my drag washers for my old 1998 Stellas from Jack Erskine , all the spools of my old Stellas sport carbontex drag washers , as for the grease you can get Cal's from the same source .

Kurt is this the 2008 SW stella line roller? I have noted issues with the line roller on the earlier 2008 batches  from other sources. In fact the same thing happened to me. First day of a fishing trip i strip some line off the spool to test the drag and the braid is cut up by a small piece of flaking coating on the roller. Did not notice it while i was spooling up but will have to check the line now, hoping it is not gonna cost me 425m of varivas GT Max in PE7!!

I read that apparently Shimano over baked the roller coating early on and this flaking problem has become prevalent. The new roller version has a blue dot on the package box!!

Jon, do you know if shimano in Jakarta has these spares??
