Smallest JDM Stella sizes vs US STL1000FK
Japanese values are as printed in Shimano Japan's table; US values are as printed in Shimano North America's table. Line capacity is printed in different units (Japan: gō or lb × metres; US: lb × yards), so we show both as printed and do not convert. The US table does not print spool or handle size, so those cells are marked Not confirmed.

Is there a US Stella 1000, and is it the same reel?
Shimano North America's STELLA FK table (checked 2026-10-05) lists STL1000FK, size code 1000 (5.8 oz, 5.1:1, 7 lb max drag). Its size code is not the same as the Japanese 1000SSPG, so we do not treat them as the same reel.

| Item | JDM 1000SSPG | US STL1000FK | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gear ratio | 4.4:1 | 5.1:1 | Differs |
| Weight | 165 g (≈ 5.8 oz) | 5.8 oz | Matches after our conversion |
| Max drag | 3 kg (≈ 6.6 lb) | 7 lb | Matches after our conversion |
| Retrieve per crank | 55 cm (≈ 21.7 in) | 25 in | Differs |
Gaps within rounding (0.15 oz, 1 lb, 0.6 in) count as a match. A match on these four items does not make two reels the same model: the size codes differ.
