Shimano is introducing all-new Stella AR-C spinning reels to replace the SR(FB) Stella model. The new Stella has improved mechanicals to prevent line troubles. The new spool edge has coned shape to release lines without friction. The new body is installed with 50%-durability-improved gears. The New Stella feels like feather, with ultra smooth gears.
Spare spool is sold separately. "S" models have shallower spool for finesse use. The larger than 3000 models come with T shape knob.
