Went through my new Stradic 2500HGFL with the upgrades here. Thanks for the awesome content. I hit about 150-200 outings a year for inland trout fishing. WI trout and salmon run from tiny dinkers to 20+#ers. Had been on a Penn Battle III that I like (except when the antireverse fudges up). So far the 110$ Penn has been durable, but don't get a molecule grease on the anti-reverse clutch! haha. Very easy smooth upgrade, liking the Stradic so far this year! Hoping the Stradic will last more than a cpl seasons!! Happy fishing!!!

It's going to be 27 F tonight so when It warms up, I'll go for Rainbows and see how it works. I really didn't appreciate a great deal of difference before and after because the C3000HG is so smooth and quiet as is. The Stradic can be had for $150+ if you go overseas....what a great deal.

Enjoying your videos and now that I’m retired and trying to do some of my own reel maintenance. Couple of quick ?s, I saw that you made a point to remove an O ring from the bushing in the oscillation paw. When you put the new bearing and bushing in the paw I did not see you place the O ring onto the new part????? Also, can the bearings in the body like the osc paw be replaced without removing the anti-reverse? Do all of these bearings from video work on my Stradic c3000HG? Thanks

@WestCoastFloridaFishing

Since it is between two bearings I felt it would have defeated the purpose of doing the bearing swap upgrade and didn’t put the o ring back on and had only realized after the fact that it wouldn’t work. Thanks for asking and supporting the channel! Have a few videos in the works!

Thanks for sharing. I have a few questions please. 1. Are there any differences between Shimano Stella in US and in Japan? Any bearing spec differences? Are the bearings you suggested also fit for Stella in Japan? 2. The example here is Stradic 3000 but I have a Stradic 6000xg. If I want to DIY the bearings, do I need to pay attention to the bearing size? Thank you for your answer.

@WestCoastFloridaFishing

Thank you for watching and commenting! There are differences between them but unfortunately I am not familiar enough to speak on the JDM Stradic. All you need to do is measure your bushings and buy the counter part bearing upgrade!

Thank you for the step by step upgrades! Love your vids but couldn’t help to realize that when you do a comparison of the upgraded to stock reels, the upgraded doesn’t spin as much. Is there an explanation why? Perhaps the grease that’s applied to the bearings should be an oil?

@WestCoastFloridaFishing

2 жыл бұрын

This could absolutely be a factor. I fish 80% saltwater and I would prefer my bearings coated in grease rather than oil so I don’t have to replace them as often. The amount at which the reel spins never actually effects the true use of the reel and therefore is insignificant. Thanks for the comment!

Hey man great in depth video. I upgraded my Stradic FL 2500 handle bushing to a bearing but when I removed the bushing, there definitely wasn’t a shim on it. I checked on the actual knob shaft & it wasn’t there. I just put the bearing on without the shim. Just wanted to know is it ok that way?

The anti reverse in shimano is quite easy to assemble and disassemble and it can be quite fun if you dont have any sight problem since the parts is very small.

I don't have the ability to get the dimensions just yet so I am sorry for the inconvenience! You can get the dimensions off of the bushings when you pull your reel apart though!

I just did this upgrade and it did made the reel smoother but not by much that it didnt even came close to the level of smoothness the Daiwa Certate LT has. Tho at least once you upgrade your Stradic to 10 bearings, buying the high end Twin Power becomes pointless. Not unless you really want to spend the extra dollars

Unfortunately they have discontinued the support of the old schematics to purchase this part so you would need to call Shimano about it but honestly it doesn’t make a big difference in the reels performance if you would like to skip this bearing!

What I would like to see next? Shimano Spheros 5000sw upgrade maybe? Do you happen to know if the new (2020) 14000 Shimano Saragossa spool fits on the old 10000 Saragossa reel?

Also just filmed a Vanford Upgrading video as well so stay tuned and make sure your subscribed so you don't miss it! And I have no idea!! I would have to have both in front of me and at my store we haven't seen any new Saragossa other than the 6000 size.

RD14396 is slightly taller than the bushing...so the thin rubber seal ring will not stay in place..Can you just put in a bunch of grease instead of using that rubber ring ?

@WestCoastFloridaFishing

I wouldn’t see why grease wouldn’t substitute for a water barrier. But I’m not sure. I’ve heard you can change the rotor reataining nut along with the bushing to help the seating….

Love the video. Only bought the stradic FL 4000xg about a month ago. Gonna fish it normal for this season then next uograde it. Do you sell the upgrade sets in your shop. I'm in Ireland but have someone in key west that I can get to get it. If not could you if you have time, tell me what each bearing size is

Are the upgrades pretty much the same for a 23 stradic?

Hi just bought a stradic fl, it's very effortless and easy to turn, and requires very minimal start up inertia and will free spin basically forever. But I did notice that ass I'm Turing the handle I do feel abit of roughness, it's not completely smooth, don't get me wrong it's great, and interms of performance it's great, but I do feel just very so slight friction. I'd this normal. Is it due to the added seals or ? Would love to know your opinion and would appreciate your help?
