New Stella SW 2013 video
December 21, 2012, 05:01:55 AM
From Allan Hawks Youtube channel:
[ Invalid YouTube link ]

I see:
1) New Stella SW in 2013 - now almost for sure :)
2) A part of what seems to be a very nice looking spool
3) An "X" - which most probably means that they're going to use x-ship on the new Stella.

Hmmm - not much but interesting enough!

The spool is sexy . If the reel matched the spool in black it will be as handsome as the Dogfight. Whats the max drag?

I heard a rumor saying that the model 8000 or smaller will be released by the first half of 2013 and the rest of the bigger model will be released by end of 2013.

Most interesting for me will be if they go for carbon rotor or not....

Thanks Mark.

That will require some mental adjustment!  All that flex in the rotor plays on my mind. I have a couple of small Shimano reels with Ci4 rotors and even with those it feels "funny".

Allan Hawk said it was not confirmed, so I am still holding to the hope. I want it to remain metal!

XSHIP rotor. Any one know what XSHIP really mean?

Shimano's X-Ship system utilizes a double bearing supported pinion gear to give anglers increased gearing efficiency and power for virtually effortless cranking of the handle. By supporting the pinion gear with two A-RB ball bearings, X-Ship eliminates the pinion gear twist and rotor flex that can be a common problem with spinning reels when fighting a fish.

Shimano also uses an X to denote JDM models using their fastest gearing. 5.8 vs 6.2 as on the current 10k sw

i'm not sure why there seems to be much negative response to composite materials being used. makes sense to me. the extensive use of them in such high performance and stress areas such as F1 and the aircraft industry surely proves their worth...
