Tackle Week 2023: The best new fishing rods, reels, lines, electronics, tools and accessories

Best Spinning Reel

STELLA FK

If you want the Rolls Royce of spinning reels, check out the Stella FK. Along with incorporating Shimano’s existing top tackle technologies, it’s the new features that really set this reel apart, such as the InfinityXross gear toothing, DuraCross drag and Anti-Twist Fin line tensioning. The first time you turn the handle, you’ll see why it won ICAST’s Best of Show award in the freshwater reel category. It’s available in five sizes, from 1000 to 5000.
