Description
The 25 STILE (25スティーレ) is a lightweight dual-bearing boat reel in Shimano's technical light-game series. All gear ratios share a 145g magnesium frame -- the same material as the flagship Stella spinning reel -- for high rigidity at a low weight, plus a Micro Module Gear internal gear train for a smoother, quieter retrieve, a 55mm long handle for added cranking torque, a centrifugal brake for backlash-free casting, and a new clutch-lever shape.
This listing covers the PG (gear ratio 6.4:1, max drag 4.5kg) and XG (8.9:1, max drag 3.5kg) ratios in the 100 and 101 handle positions. Per Shimano's official product page, XG suits kawahagi (カワハギ/filefish) and fugu (フグ/pufferfish) fishing that needs a fast pickup, while PG suits tenya tachiuo (テンヤタチウオ) and tairaba (鯛ラバ/red seabream jigging) where steady retrieve power matters.
Japanese product name: 25スティーレ.

FAQ
Is the JDM version different from the US or AU release?
Often, yes. JDM releases can differ in spool depth, weight and handle options, and the Japanese lineup is usually broader — including sizes and models never exported.
Will spare spools from my current reel fit?
Spool compatibility is per generation, not per model name. Check the model year and size code against the spool before buying — the model code is listed on every reel.
What size should I choose?
As a ladder: 1000–2500 for finesse and light lines, 2500–4000 for general lure work, 4000 and up for heavy or salt duties. Match the size to your line and water first.
PG, HG or XG — what's the difference?
PG is a slow, powerful gear for cranking. HG is the all-round high gear. XG is the fastest retrieve for picking up slack quickly — higher speed trades away winding torque.
What warranty or service do imported reels have?
There is no local service centre for a JDM reel. Repairs and servicing go back to Japan, usually with a fee and a multi-week turnaround — weigh that before you buy.
Can I still get spares for older JDM-only models?
Often, yes — Japanese makers keep parts lists for older models, and some spares are stocked here. See the spares and custom parts collection, or ask before you order.
