Title: Shimano Stella 14000 Rotor
Post by: Abaddon on May 20, 2019, 06:54:22 AM
Have another request for the community..

One of my tuna guys picked up a beaut Stella.
Spooled her up and then managed to drop her before even getting to the water.

On inspection the rotor is quite warped, makes contact with the body when reeling.

Did a quick tear-down and found the following..

The reel shows no impact marks and was dropped from waist height onto a tiled surface.
Would have thought these reels to be tougher than that.

Now onto the matter at hand, I need a replacement rotor.
Have contacted our local agents and they don't have, might have in 3 months again subject to availability from international agents.

Can any of the AT family assist here?
