SHIMANO Reel 17 Stefano SS 101HG (left)

The Stephano SS is a reel that was created with the desire to let even more anglers experience the high specs required of a Kawahagi reel. The compact body with improved balance thanks to the Core Fit body and X-Drag has achieved a weight reduction of 160g. The high gear ratio of 7.2 and the smooth rotation provided by the X-SHIP, as well as the operability provided by the 51mm S-Turbine handle, are exactly what you would expect from the higher-end Stephano model. In addition, the brake system SVS, designed with casting fishing in mind, is a strong ally in preventing backlash. The body frame is made of aluminum to increase rigidity and durability. By strongly reflecting HAGANE's design philosophy and improving the toughness of the reel, anyone can now experience cutting-edge fishing.
