*Great reel, **enjoyable.fishing** recommend very smooth and I love that you can change from left hand to right hand so easily. Gave it a 4 on durability because I haven’t had it long enough to rate it. Doing good so far.*

Thanks for posting this. Helped me a lot and got my Stradic 2000 back in action.

thanks for posting! went for a surf with my stradic. all sorted now.

Took my brand new Battle II 5000 for a spin yesterday for the very first time and I hooked a 20lb yellowtail using a Ugly Stik X2 (medium hard) rod kzread.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . This combo was recommended on some website and it did not disappoint me. The reel is smooth, the drag click is pretty cool cause i think it adds to the excitement of fighting the fish, personally the drag is my favorite part. I use braid and 300 yards will fill the entire spool. This combo is my main setup from now on although I have to disclose I am new to fishing.

Great vidio mate. Aussie Charlie. I'll attack the 2500 stradic tomorrow.

thanks a lot man i just used a stradic ci4 in the surf and it sounds horrible and i watched this and now it works like a charm

simple, clear and quick. thank you

Thank You very much for this video !!!!!! I Just fix my Stradic CI4 2500 FA with this video. Thanks again.

*It's a Penn so the quality is there. I really like the 2500 for speckled trout fishing **allabout.wiki/01fs** I throw jig bait with 10 lb mono. I like the 2500 for this better then the 2000. Glad they added this size to the line up*

great video. thanks for this. you make it look easy.

Great video, tho I'd recommend laying out parts in orderly manner as you disassemble

Great vid, thanks for posting.

Awesome video!

Sweet. thanks very much for this vid.

Very very helpful video...I just wish I had watched it first

It would be helpful to show of alternative oil and the type pinion gear grease and how much to use at the specific location.

I also have the bail spring problem please help!

cool focus

Can you please show how to replace bail spring on the stradic 3000 FI

Great video! For cleaning purposes, is it necessary to take that much apart? It’s works fine, can I just spray it down with cleaner?

Can you show how to reassemble the bail on the spring side?

Nice!

Thak

After reassembling my reel I hear a scratchy noise and I think its from the drive gear. You know what part I could possibly messed up on?

I use Superlube synthetic grease and apply it with the cheap acid brushes from the plumbing section at the hardware store. Works great, might even be overkill.

I have a Shimano Spheros 4000FA, (discontinued model). Do you work on those as well?

Hello SRQ. I would like to ask you what would be better for Penn reels gearing. Penn blue grease or Super Lube Grease. I just want to know your opinion.

Hi chris i am having abit of a problem i accidently pull the bail assembly out of the reel and i cant put it back on properly

How showing how to take apart the bell too?

i have the same as yours just the 5000 model and its really stiff when u wind it do you have any ideas o how i can fix it

can you or someone show us Shimano baitrunner spinning reel 6500 'maintenance please... and thanks!

Yeah, do you know the Allen Key size for the lock screw on the Stradic Ci4+? The schematics are not very helpful on that aspect. It's abnormally small.

0.9 for the allen screw

Can you show how to reassemble bail spring? Mine popped off and I can't figure it out . Thanks!

My Stradic got soak the other day. I did all the basic preventative maintenance. Today it sounds a little rough. Is there A way to get to the gears inside without taking off the reverse bearing and all those parts?

No, you can't get the gears out with out taking those parts out. The reel needs to be completely taken apart and serviced.

Great video. I'm looking for a used replacement handle for my 4000fi. If anyone has one for sale pleaaaase let me know. Those suckers are hard to find. Thnx

miss my fi

Likee very nice

First - Thank you for a very informative video. One complaint - Please check your focus point next time! It is set at the front where you are putting objects down and you are doing all your work about 3-5 inches behind the focus point. It is difficult to see what you are doing and it is really playing with my mind as I try to focus on what you are doing. I think a video on the bail spring (as others have requested) would be a good idea.

Never use pliers on a brass nut.

For anyone that might be able to help me please comment. I have an old pole from the 50's, maybe early 60's.The only making it has on it is on the backside above the reel grip and it says phantom bantam. I just want to know more about it because it belonged to my grandfather. Any info is appreciated, thanks.

You must mean rod, your the old Pole!

Bad camera use :(! Wrong focus point!

Any idiot can take a reel apart let's see it cleaned and reassemble

Pretty much worthless. Most
