Stella 18000 bent engine/rotor arm
March 17, 2014, 09:19:27 AM
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?

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

Jussi,
I've seen it before. As I've said don't use those spools.
Send it to Shimano, Stellas are fixable regardless.

Trevor

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.
