Its Infinity evolution updates the gear teeth and wind management, helping the line roll neatly off the spool and reducing drag during release. The result is a smooth, predictable cast and steady retrieves day after day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eInfinity Drive and line control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInfinity Drive powers strong winding even under heavy loads. The main shaft is supported by a low‑friction bushing, which lowers resistance and makes rotation feel effortless. The reel’s internal structure supports slower, more controlled spool movement, contributing to a cast that feels deliberate and a line that lays cleanly on the spool.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAnti‑twist fins for cleaner line lay\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnti‑twist fins sit close to the line roller to minimize line sag and spool tangles. This thoughtful detail helps maintain smooth line flow during retrieves, reducing the kind of line problems that disrupt long sessions on the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDURA CROS drag for lasting smoothness\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe new drag washer uses a woven fiber construction for enhanced wear resistance. That design supports smooth, reliable drag engagement, even when the reel faces hard pulls. The result is steadier drag performance over time without sacrificing sensitivity or control.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecs at a glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGear ratio: 4.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePractical drag force: 4.4 kg\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum drag force: 6.6 lbs (3 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum winding per handle rotation: 21.7 inches (55 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLine capacity: Nylon 2-115, 2.5-100, 3-70; Fluoro 2-90, 2.5-80, 3-65; PE 3-140, 0.4-100, 0.6-80\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWeight: 6.5 oz (165 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBearings: 12 BB \/ 1 roller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eReal-world use and feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn practical use, the Stella 22 balances a lightweight feel with robust internal engineering.
