Hello there, I just unboxed the 2500 and it sounds noticeably rougher than yours. I don't really have any experience with reels so i figured I'd ask for your recommendation.

Thank you to all those who showed up when ya received the notification!!!!! Much appreciated! If ya heard me whine a few weeks ago in the community tab about youtube not pushing my video out to people...This time they did. The same amount of notifications went out.....and the same percentage showed....But this time they put the thumbnail in front of 10x the amount of people (who then clicked on the video at the same exact rate) Over 1000 views the first hour compared to 200 on videos past.....Strange how youtube works..... :)

FL has a lot better quality on it though I’m not going to lie.

Nick , my stradic 3000 fl , got dunked accidentally last week on the flats. Just rinsed it off real good. 7 days later she’s still smooth. Whatever they did , it works.

After more than 10 days of nonstop fishing with stradic fl 5000 xg , i can say honestly this reel is just a big win for anyone who is looking for light setup , used with crony sea cliff 9' rod @30lb shimano tanatura braided line n landed countless of different species , three things noticed cranking power for such small reel , better casting n won't flex under relatively heavy tension . Great reel shimano but please watch out for ur qc dept. paint work blemish n better handle play back tolarence ,still very minor tho.

Hi tackle advisors! I just wantet to thank you for your reviews! just got my shimano stradic ordered of ebay and so far i absolutely love the reel! super smooth. It was an upgrade to my daiwa bg(well worth the money), witch has started to fail on me. i paired it up with an okuma expinor 10' travel rod and the combination is a perfect inshore combination for trout and pike. love your content and thank you for existing and helping me out! keep making awesome content! All the best!

Nice reel. I'm a Penn guy. I'm currently fishing inshore with a Penn Clash II 2500/10lb braid/ Star Seagis rod. Penn has really stepped their game up over the last few years... And yes Shimano makes a great reel.. Several friends fish with Stradics...

That Gomexus aluminum double paddle actually looks pretty good with its cut outs, though it's a bit heavier than the carbon fiber one.

While I think daiwa and shimano baitcasters give each other a run for their money, I honestly think the LT series does the best job in terms of spinning reels (at least for my style)

Veronica Fanquist I have neck and shoulder issues so light weight is key but also performance. I can put 4lb test on a Daiwa exceler one day and put 30 lb test on the next and still have the same performance. (Seriously, I’ve done it) I’m a multi species fisherman so I don’t usually go for specialty styled reels and gear. I want something I can fish for carp one day, bluegill the next, and pull in a bull redfish a week later and 22lbs of drag does it just fine at a killer price point especially when it was on sale a few months back

So I just received the 5000 FL from JandH and I love how it feels, however, I feel like the power handle is adding a little bit of wobble. Any experience with the 5000 size doing that?

It’s easy to get the carbon drag washers in the new FL for the 2500.

That reel’s body might not be water resistant, but that bubble wrapping on that box is “X-Shield” worthy.

2500HGFL is it the same size as the 3000XGFL what’s the difference between stradic ci4 what is the best to you

The FK also only had carbon fibre drag stack in the 5000 size (my FK 3000 came with felt, so I upgraded to carbon fibre)

Do a breakdown of the Stratic FL/vanford 1000/500 and which is best for trout fishing

Any word on the 4000+ sizes?

I have a Shimano Stradic FL 4000XG and I have a problem with the line roller. The braid does not sit in the position Shimano has and sit right, as a result the bail arm is scratched and it is always scratching my braided line. Is it regular problem on shimano spinning reels?

For typical bass fishing are there any significant differences in 2500 vs 3000. Is there that big of a difference in felt and carbon drag. Will having less line than fill in the 3000 negatively effect casting if I don't need than much?

I really like that handle. It's similar to the one on the chronarch and I love it on mine. I wish it wasn't so expe sive, though.

I want a big reel with a lower gear ratio for pulling power. But the 5000 FL has a gear ratio of 6.2:1. shimano should make a lower ratio version , like 5.2 :1 or even 4.9:1

I always thought baitcasters were more complex to make due to the different break systems in them?

I FINALLY got an FL! Got one today here in Tampa. I'm pretty sure i got the last one available here in Florida haha. Can't find them anywhere at the moment. No where online or any store I've been to until today! Got the 4K and it's buttery smooth. However, my Daiwa Saltist Back Bay 4K is slightly smoother. I've dunked my my Back Bay multiple times now in the kayak inshore and it's still like new. Will see how this Stradic holds up to the saltwater over time.

I own the 4000xg and I have an issue on the drag knob. Whenever I pull on the line to check the drag, the knob spin making the drag tighter. I have to check all the time because the drag just gets really tight without me doing anything to the drag knob. Can I get some advice. Thanks in advance..

Thanks for the video. Which size would you recommend for targeting striped bass out of a kayak? I was leaning toward the 4000. Do you think this reel will stand up to splashed over the bow etc or should I look for something better sealed

Since you ( and Elias ) have had nice things to say about the low cost Okuma Epixor spinner, why not tear down and compare their higher price reels? The Helios reels appear to be the top of the line for fresh water, though I've used an older model inshore, as well as a slightly less expensive Inspira. The new Azores Blue 40 is intended for Salt, and the only difference between it and the lower cost older silver colored ones is the line capacity. Both come with carbon fiber drags.

Would be nice for float and feeder fishing on commercial fisheries in the UK. Wouldn't fancy using it if I was a sea angler but as a course angler float and feeder fishing for small carp tench or bream or fishing for perch with spinners it would be spot on.

If it was the ticket to never or hardly ever servicing magsealed parts/areas again I'd be all for it, but it's not.

Felix Lux You have me in regards to replacing the bearings, which fortunately I have not needed to do, yet! Yes, I've no doubt they are expensive and have you cornered in that department, since it's already quite well known that they're all weird sizes. I invested in all daiwa magsealed reals when upgrading from my previous reels I carefully maintained for 10 years and yes, they are more time consuming, but because that's what I have and they are all very similar, I guess I've accepted it for what it is and become fairly efficient servicing them. I have bg mags, ballistics and a theory btw, so nothing even slightly old, other than a prototype theory, which got me sold on the magseal thing in the first place. I had trouble with shimano bearings about 12 years ago and never went back, but have always taken an interest in the stradics from afar, 😁 hence why I'm here!

How would you clean a shimano Stradic after saltwater fishing

They just can't seem to make up their minds on those aluminium spool shafts... First found on smaller Stella's then much later on Stradic Ci4 F's and then disappeared off that line to the FA going back to stainless Steel, then reappeared in the FB to Aluminium... Now its found on the Stradic general line... Not sure how that's going to work in comparison to how they're treated usually for their price range. The non folding handle - hmm going to be hard to store that now - I typically just unwound it to a point folded it in and put a hair tie around it to immobilise it when stored on the rod in transit or in its protective bag - now it's either on or off... See how many more stripped handle gear threads will come of it? While on price... They're $339 (1000) ~ $389 (5000) here in Australia... You guys have it pretty good I reckon! They'll see lots of online trade for the low gear ratio reels!

I found it interesting...which is why it sorta stood out..also the differnt color rubber seal....wondering if it's a different durameter rating.....same color as the penn seal at the pinion traverse.......I think the handle thing is hit or miss....Not a big plus...but I'd take that in trade for something else they included for the $$. Assuming it was cheaper to mfr in one piece.....What did the FK sell for over there? As long as gear ratios count as different non market specific variants I assume it'll fly.....they sold out on ebay. Or shimano put the kabosh on it.

@Slazmoservicing4209

5 жыл бұрын

It's hard to say what the seals are like without seeing one, but if they're anything like (hard & ill fitting) seals on the FK AR seal - let's really hope not... The seals should be more supple and finer contact lips for contact against the mating surface if they want them to actually work... Like the FE Stella AR top seal etc... These seals should be replaced in time but is well worth it imho. The handle - let's go with less parts, less cost and less warranty with the folding design... But I can see people stripping the inner of the main gear as it'll become a more on & off design. But ultimately a stronger handle connection and positive feel while in use - as no extra parts or play. The FK sold stably here at around $230 / $250 after the initial price came down normally ($330'ish), and recently you can pick them up for around $190 on run out naturally - I think they may even come down lower than that... We're only seeing the HG variations here in Aus (going by schematics & online lists), there is a huge market for the 5.#:1 ratios and for people like myself who prefer low ratios - but typically we'll follow the US trends even if our fishing styles are totally different - I guess why people are holding onto old reels due to being forced to use something they don't agree or are happy with... I mean look at all the MM gears that are going / wearing out now /compared to the old clunky cut gear's which lasted decades - it has me pretty worried about the longevity of these new reels and the availability of gear sets into the future...

@TackleAdvisors

5 жыл бұрын

As far as I can tell the mm gears in the spinners are found in the idlers than run the oscillation... Not too much load there and they seem to wear gracefully. The main gear set even if they added a dozen teeth should still manage adequate geometry to last. And it's the inherent design of a baitcasters drag putting all the force on the gear teeth where as with spinners it all stops with the clutch. The shimano handle threading is the most 300 lb gorilla friendly in the business.. Van Staal and Daiwa are more easily damaged. I'd bet that would be a small fraction of the repairs that shimano service sees

Just caught your Videos today Sunday , I was wondering if you'll do a view on the SixGill any time soon THANK YOU

I feel like theres no difference between my fk is there?

just received the 1000 , waiting nano line 6 lb...and start bream targeting ul.

My new 4000 Stradic has a fair amount of back play on the handle and makes a click each revolution... drive me crazy with the back play. Is that normal or a dud? I have an old stradic and it does the same

Shouldn't be that offending.. I little is normal.... An obvious amount is no Bueno and usually wears out quicker

What’s the difference in Japanese stradic vs USA fl?

Thanks for this. Can we still put the carbon stack into this one like we all did on the fk? I read you said that the 3000 has carbon drag? Is the one in the states gonna come thing carbon drag?

I think the 2500 on up have em already....and the smaller sizes can definietly take em

How would you compare this to the Stradic CI4+ in terms of weight, smoothness, value in your opinion, and if you had to be honest with me for the money, which should I get? Thanks!

This reel feels more refined..It's a home run in that regards (brand neww out of the box anyays)..Though the weight difference is noticeable. If an ounce or two isn't a big deal this reel is the better of the two for sure. but you do get the long cast spool design which may help a bit though nt sure exactly hby how much. I don't feel much of a difference with the FL rotor being heavier but i have a lower geared reel....

Thanks! I had the stradic ci4+ 4000 paired with a star rod stellar lite rod and I loved it because it was so lightweight. But my main issues were my bail would always break on the ci4+... have you heard of that happening? It happened to me twice in a row.. so that’s why I’m hesitant. But I’m eager to try this new reel and pair it with a beautiful st croix or g loomis! At a 4000 size I’m sure the weight isn’t a big deal as I have like 5x stradic FK 4000’s

Have you heard of bail arms getting loose and floppy?

yeah from my country.. Malaysia.. and im must get this one.. maybe 4000size .. im gonna use it on deep saltwater ocean..

I need help! Do I go with a CI4+ or the FL? Can anyone link me a legit FL seller on eBay? Or what Daiwa LT would be better?

I linked it in my community post tab yesterday. If the weight differences aren't an issue. I think the stradic FL at least after 4 trips is the reel to beat in terms of on the water performance. It's a very nice reel with lots of Stella and vanquish features. Sans price tag

That is one heck of a letter opener!

cant wait to have this on my tackle....

I fish with Penn reels but these really are great reels...

Tackle advisors kind of an off topic question...but the scorpion 200 made in 2014, is it a good reel? Is it worth getting over the Curado k?

Hey man...I have the Scorp mgl....and all the curado variants....never handled the 14 scorp.......The curado variants are all really good reels......They're all pretty large...and at around 8 ounces aren't lightweits...I'm actually up in the air in terms of how I like the scorpion.....It had a nasty squeak that others here mentioned....and it took a few hours to identify and fix.....and the break is a little dodgy and inconsistent with light braid. Can't really comment much more in terms of recent scorpion reels though

Tackle Advisors thanks for the info

Have a look at fox Fishing reels rage range for preditor fishing well built.Perfect for perch pike Zander .Or muskie walleye pike bass.

The search for a well sealed spinning reel that's lightweight, dunkable for more than 30 seconds, and around $200 continues. Ballistic is just a hair over $200 but the mag seals are still an issue when servicing is concerned. Looking forward to your comparison between this and a few other reels in this price range. I mean I get why this one isn't as well sealed as say a Spheros, because then why would you pay more for a heavier equally-sealed reel. But maybe if the sealing was on par with the Spheros, but the gearing was a tad weaker, then maybe that could justify the price difference.

@@aquaholiklee Damn I never realized that. Does penn incorporate a body seal into the smaller size spinfisher VI reels, like the 2500? I know they're a bit heavier and not as smooth as daiwa or shimano reels at that price point, but that sealing seems like a nice feature to have for the money and size.

@@aquaholiklee Yeah I'm certainly no fanboy either. Just bought my first non-ugly stik rod due to BPS gift cards, it's a St. Croix Mojo Bass 7' MHF, absolutely love it (mainly the weight and sensitivity). I've been buying reels for a long time but really only recently put a lot of thought into them. Got a BG2500 and have loved it the past 2 years, and love my old baitrunner 4500B. I was thinking of upgrading the bearings on the baitrunner but I'm not sure if it's worth it. I'm also looking to replace my aging Sahara 4000FD, I've had it serviced but it feels like it's on it's last legs, just grinds and skips under heavy drag pressures, I replaced the drive and pinion gears because I thought that was the cause, but the new gears have the same issue. Maybe it's an oscillation issue? Looking to get a nice saltwater rated reel that can hold about 250-300 yards of 30lb braid, puts out around 20lb drag, certainly lots of options, heck might even just do another BG, maybe a 3500 or 4000.

@@aquaholiklee good to know, thank you. I feel like st. croix makes really nice rods, since they have a lot of buying power, seemingly. It's crazy all the options out there for spinning rods between 100-200$. Lots of crap I imagine. I did try a loomis e6x inshore but it didn't feel any better to me than the mojo bass, and it was about 70$ more expensive and didn't come in a split grip like I wanted

I've fishhed all over europe and north america, salt and fresh and not once have i used reverse wind on a reel. Just set the drag correctly.
