Stella 18000 bent engine/rotor arm

(1/1)

Jussi Saarinen:
When inspecting my 2008 Stella 18000, following my recent trip to Southern Oman, I realized to my big surprise that the five GTs I had landed had bent the "engine", where the rotor arm is attached. Has anyone had this happened to you before? Also, is it repairable or do I have to buy a new reel?

Alex Jordan:
Not seen that before! - if its just the wire part it's cheap to replace from Shimano with the non roller arm included in the part :)

Trevor Skinner:
Jussi,

I've seen it before. As I've said don't use those spools.

Send it to Shimano, Stellas are fixable regardless.

Regards,


Trevor

Peter Olesen:
Jussi, mine looked the same on an 8000 SW-A. I unmounted the rotor and put it back in place end then everything looked fine again! The rotor had just slipped a bit. Could be the same with yours.

Jussi Saarinen:
Thx!
