Completed this upgrade this afternoon. Everything went perfectly (watched the Vanford upgrade so I didn’t have to mess with the anti reverse). Your video made it easy. It only took me about 25 minutes. Thank you for posting this!
That’s awesome man! Glad everything went smooth and man working around the AR is perfect!!! Thank you for the praise brother! Share it with your friends!
Did you feel a difference? Honestly?
@@zeadon yes I felt a difference. It was slight but smoother. What I am hoping to see is that the reel remains smooth over time. However only time will tell. So far it runs perfectly but it is less than one season at this point.
Are the bearings for a 3000 same for a stradic 2500 c14?
@@beardedfishingmd5232yes they are! Compatibility charts are in the video description!
got me holding my breath as if i was puting the anti-reverse back on lol...great job and thanks for the awesome upgrade walk-through
Haha! You and me both!!!! Thank you! And thanks for supporting the channel!
Cool. Just learning how to upgrade my stradic that I don't own. Thanks for the 45 minutes.
I’m not sure if this is something to laugh with or not but you’re welcome! 😂🤷🏽♂️
@@WestCoastFloridaFishing i'm pretty sure he just admired the video even though he doesn't own the actual reel being upgraded.
Hi mate! I already do the upgrade on my 3k from your first video on the FL.
I will buy a 5k and follow this video, (except the spool bearing size if I well understand) thanks for the content!
Big shootout from France✌️
Awesome! And sounds good man! Just parts reference the bushing between the 3000 and the 5000 because I do not know if the 5000 parts are the same as these ones
This is an excellent presentation, simple and step by step. Good on you and Thank you 👍!
Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate all the support!
Impressive man, steady hands like a heart surgeon 😂. I been taking apart older sustain FE’s and saragosa F’s, with all these upgrades in bearings you’re bound to buy a wrong part number here or there Lol
Thank you brother! And I thought I was a bit shakey too!! 😂😂😂 and youre absolutely right. I've done it a few times!
wow great video and thanks for your efforts. Must of taken a lot of time to make. Great work
Over a week! Thank you for your support!
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!!!
Thanks for commenting! How awesome is that! I appreciate the feedback! Yeah they are great reels! There might be something I might replace it with but a future video in that soon!
@@WestCoastFloridaFishing About a hundred outings in and the Stradic is still great. Best reel I have had yet. The upgrades are flawless. Kinda interested for inspection and service after peak season is over in October. Taking it to Canada late Aug for 2fter Nipigon brookies. Wooohaaaa. Will be interested to see your next reel pic and any mods.
Super job , excellent work .
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing. Great vid. You derserve more subscriber man. 👍
Thank you my friend!! One subscriber at a time haha!!
Excellent job 👍🏻
Thank you friend!!
Interesting video, loved it!
Glad you enjoyed it! I love hearing that man!
great video...this is very helpful...thank you
No problem man!! I’m glad this video was helpful!!! Thank you for the nice comment!!
Awsome video thanks for sharing 👍
Not a problem! Thanks for watching!
Another Amazing video thx 🙏🏼 !!! Keep it up 🎣🎶😉
Do you know if this upgrade or any part of it would apply to a spheros sw 4000? I have seen a video that showed some parts were interchangable. Really appreciate your video..
I have a Spheros Upgrading Video in the works! Stay Tuned!!
Thanks for watching!! Appreciate your support! Means a lot!
I finished the conversion, at least partially. The oscillating paw bushing remained unchanged because I didn't have the Stella oscillating slider bushing. I could not move the screw in the handle--Any suggestions? Otherwise it went easy and uneventful as I wished. 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. I found the Slider bushings and will change that when they arrive. All the info is on this page...I should have looked first. Great Experience.
Awesome man!! Glad it went easy for you!!
Good job 👏
Thank you!!
Nice work Brö
Thanks for watching!
Great video! Do you or others do these upgrades for people and if so what would this exact upgrade cost besides shipping? After watching I am not confident I want to go that deep myself. I also feel like if I am going to upgrade my 1000 FL I may as well do them all. Thoughts? I mainly fish for Smallmouth in the midwest.
Steve Sellers yeah I have upgraded some of my friends reels so that’s something we could do! Email me with your information at westcoastfloridafishing@gmail.com and we can work something out!! And for that size reel some upgrades are not really worth the money.. since you’re not loading out your reel completely I would skip the rotor retaining nut bearing upgrade and the oscillator slider upgrade too. Just my two cents!
Excellent, excellent excellent. Well done. Double thumbs up. I wonder if the new vanford rotor would fit on the fl????? Penny for your thoughts.
costa nicolaidis Thank you thank you thank you! It was a very large project from the start but it was an awesome upgrade! I appreciate your support!! And whoa... now that’s a good question... I wonder....
Great upgrade bro!
Specialy for bearing in main shaft screw. Thanks
MIll LEE Thanks bro!! You’re welcome I’m glad you enjoyed it brother! Share it up with your friends too!
How much easier is the rotation turn now after the bearing upgrade????
costa nicolaidis there is little to NO resistance when spinning the handle!
@@WestCoastFloridaFishing Super wow. A thousand thumbs-up. Regards from Greece.
costa nicolaidis wow! Amazing man! Love the support! Hello to all of your friends!
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?
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!
Great vid! You earned a sub!
Question: @19:53 mark the bushing has an oring, when you put the replacement bearing did you put that oring somewhere? Thanks verymuch! Keep these teardoewn and upgrades vids coming we really appreciate it!
Awesome thank you!! And nope! It is no longer needed with the upgrade! And you’re welcome man! And hah do not worry... I have another upgrading video coming in the works!
@@WestCoastFloridaFishing thank you for confirming. i was wondering about that also. did you end up putting a spacer in between the bushing and bearing? or was that not needed?
Awesome channel
Well thank you very much!!
Wow I like this reel
One of my favorites!
Subscribed because you shown the stats🧐. Going for an upgrade rather than replace my stradic FJ. Cheers from Australia
Thank you for subscribing! I am working on some more content to enjoy! Cheers mate 🤙🏼
You did beautiful!!!
Thank you!!!
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
Thanks for sharing! Glad you enjoyed the video and gave your thoughts on it!
Great and really informative video, enjoyed every minute of it!
Btw, on the sound comparison I noticed the upgraded reel has a clicking sound when spool goes up, do you know what's causing it?
I have the same clicking sound on mine new out of box, I've read somewhere it could be related to oscilating pawl.
There r some particular places in the reel where bb really matter so much but then again there r a few places where they’re almost neglectable , plus more bbs means more feature failures , best light reel for the money , nice throughly upgrade process , congrats.
African maasai
Tim Tom I completely agree! And if you think that’s the best light reel for the money check out the Vanford!! Crazy light reel man!
Great video man. hey any idea part numbers for the Stradic 4000 ?
Yes everything is the same exept for the spool support bearing which is listed here on this link: Spool Support Bearing for 4K and 5K STRADIC FL,FK (8x16x5) :
rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FHigh-Quality-440C-Stainless-Steel-Ball-bearings-Listed-by-Size%2F124156176607%3Fhash%3Ditem1ce848e8df%3Ag%3ARyQAAOSwXj1emJGP&campid=5338690692&toolid=10001&customid=Stella
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 see what you did there, by replacing the worm gear bushing with bearing will give you the shimano's "infinity drive" technology, what a fancy name shimano came up for a couple of bearings.
You got it brother! It’s all marketing gargin when it comes to these fancy names! And yeah once you get it back together and don’t lose any parts it’s not as bad but this anti reverse is difficult to keep assembled as they have to plate holding in the little balls for the one way bearings! Thanks for the comment!
@@WestCoastFloridaFishing you're welcome brother
Gives it hell while spinning the first.. second he had no powers left :p
Hahaha! It was a long video!!!
great video thanks for the lesson. Are those bearing are the same for the stradic CI4+ ?
Cesar Elizondo some of them are the same yes! I have a whole video upgrading the Stradic Ci4 too!! And thank you for watching!
Good luck 👍 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you!!
you should do a video of putting the anti-reverse back together.. i think it'll be interesting to see it being tear down and put back together
They are a pain in the ass if you have never done it before lol
Yeahhhhh I would confuse more people than help people on that one lol...
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?
Should be alright unless it starts giving you a binding issue. Send it man!!!
Great video as always man! Can you please write all the sizes of the bearings that you replace man. For example (2X5X2.5)
Thanks dude! When I get my calipers in the mail I will be sure to add them into my descriptions.
Any chance you could post this info?
Fantastic tutorial mate. Am i right in saying that the bushes with o-rings as originally fitted provide a measure of protection against salt water ingress that the bearings do not provide? Cheers
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
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!
i never discard a broken reel without taking it apart and saving all good berings and drag components , handle knobs, etc. many times i transformed a cheaper reel to its more expensive big brother by just using parts i had.
Bingo! Love when I can accomplish that!
Amazing video but man, I guess it will be better buying a Stella than being able to repeat what you did. Amazing stuff.
Thank you very much! It’s actually not too bad if you lay everything out nice. Try recording it too so you can watch parts if you’re stuck!
@@WestCoastFloridaFishing thanks buddy! I’ll try first with an old one I have and than try the challenge at another. By the way where I can find any sort of bearings? I would need a 9x17x5 and 9x17x4 for this old one.
are the bearings size the same for 5k model? you didnt type the rd13274 for the 5k, is it not needed along with the 8x16x5 bearing? Really nice videos you got there mate. great effort.
Gonçalo Mateus yes! All the sizes are the same except for that spool support bearing! You DO need the bearing listed here: Spool Support Bearing for 4K and 5K Stradic FL (8x16x5) :
rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2FHigh-Quality-440C-Stainless-Steel-Ball-bearings-Listed-by-Size%2F124156176607%3Fhash%3Ditem1ce848e8df%3Ag%3ARyQAAOSwXj1emJGP&campid=5338690692&toolid=10001&customid=Stella
Thanks for the awesome words and support brother!!! I really appreciate the comment!
Great vídeo
Do you have the references of the components to the Stradic 5000 ???
Thanks
I do not have that as of right now I do not have a video on a upgraded 5000. That is in the future though! Thanks for the support man!
Thank you so much for teaching, I just want to know i have a 19 stradic 2500HGFL, is the parts number is all some you did the stradic 3000? Please let me know, Thanks again.
Yeah all of the parts used in this video are the exact same ones for the Stradic 2500!
Hi, great video, I have the 5000 FL. will all the bearing sizes listed work for the 5000 FL, other than the spool support bearing which you listed for the 5K FL.
Mmm just about! I’m not sure which ones will work since I haven’t ever upgraded a 5000 size Stradic!
Hello, great video!
Can you say what dimensions the ball bearings for the Stradic 4000 FL have? Are these identical ???
best regards from Austria
I do not know the direct dimensions of the 4000 Stradic as I haven’t upgraded one before!
Nice video man, can you list the size of the bearing for the stradic 2000 FM?
Also does the bearing from 2019 and 2023 stradic the same size?
Great video! I'm going for it. Does the part list work with the 1000 hg?
The video description has the parts identified for the 1000HG size. Thanks for watching!
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.
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!
Great video 2 questions do you sell a kit
I bought a new stella 4000fj and it has more play in the handle and main shaft up and down movement do you have a video to tighten it up
Unfortunately, I do not have any kits made up. Try adding a shim under the screw that hold the handle knob on.
Realized my mind was not working well--the hybrid bearing will still bring the steel roller against the mainshaft and the ceramic rollers aren't any advantage. Doc 1/5
Gotcha! At least we know that now!
Is the upper worm bearing and oscillator paw bearing worth tearing through the entire anti reverse system?? And did you forget to replace the o-ring on the oscillator paw bushing?
To me it is as that’s the main oscillation system and you can bypass the anti-reverse completely. Check out the new Ultegra upgrade or the Vanford upgrade to see how!!
Hi,good vid.. 1 question,wherr do u purchase the oscilating bushing?
Unfortunately Shimano removed this part from their website.
awesome as usual mate!!! are the part numbers the same for the 5000 size FL ?
I do not believe they are but I’m not quite sure yet!
@@WestCoastFloridaFishing ok thank you for taking the time to reply. keep the up the awesome work...
@@AnglingAddictssrilanka no problem thank you for leaving the awesome comment and question!
Excellent video!
Could you please give all the sizes of bearings? I'm looking on an other website to purchase them but i need some dimensions to be sure. Thank you very much.
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!
@@WestCoastFloridaFishing thank you no problem!
The conversion is finally done-had to wait for the Shimano slider bushing- and went well. Since I'm waiting for a Vanford C3000XGF I will do that when it arrives. The cost was about $65 with the Shimano Slider bushing with tax and shipping. That doesn't seem expensive to have a 12+1 bearing Stradic (Stella like) reel which was great before the extra bushings. I measured the bearing sizes and these are considered miniature steel bearings. They are also very common in 1000-2000 size reels of many brands, some chinese and very cheap. If you go overseas you can buy the 5-6 different bearings sizes in lots of 10 for about $15 total, about $2 per reel. The bushings cost about $4 each plus shipping and are out of stock. I was told by Erelacements that Shimano will have them back in stock at the end of the month. When I looked at the video, the Japanese Shimano bearings had the sizes on the envelope while the Cambodian and Vietnamese bearings did not. Having spent much time in each country about 50 years ago, and they weren't making bearings, I can understand why. Get calipers and measure the bearings yourself. I got 7x11x3, 2x5x2.5, 3x6x2.5, 4x8x4, and 4x7x2.5( 4x7x3 would be better but I can't find that size.) Also, look at the Vanford C3000XGF) upgrade and it will save you a lot of time. I did and I did. Thank you to WCFF for a GREAT experience. And thank you from this dirty dogface pony soldier. Doc 1/5 Cav
Awesome man!! So glad you were able to convert it well and were able to measure all of the bearings for us! Thanks for the praise and I will see you in the next upgrading video! Tight lines! -Isaac
thank you very much for the input. Did the performance of the reel get SIGNIFICANTLLY better after the upgrade? Thank you.
@@alchemistlee5882 Not significantly but slightly. If you pay $10/ bearing save your money. If you buy at Mainsinc-Hobby or go overseas and not Ebay nor official Shimano parts, it is worth it. In fact the line roller has one bearing and 2 plastic sleeves and collars that can be replaced with another bearing to give 13+1. The stradic initially had a very expensive 2-BB line roller cartridge which went bad easily in salt water.You should not do the line roller if this is for Salt water use. None of the additional bearings will change the start up inertia of the rotor. I did the Vanford and there was even less significant improvement. For the Stradic and Vanford I now have 2 13+1 bearing reels
@@quanloikid1 thank you very much for the input. Out of the box, stradic FL and Vanford , which is smoother? Which one do you prefer without upgrade? Thank you.
@@alchemistlee5882 The Vanford is smoother with far less inertia because of the lighter rotor and body. The Stradic is THE REEL. It is a tank and an icon and far more versatile. I have 4 Stradics and 2 Vanfords. Your choice depends on what kind of fish you're after. My first spinning reel was a Horrocks and Ibotson HI-Spin, circa 1956. I like to downrigger fish for 10-20 lb trout/salmon with ultra light gear and 6lb test mono on Lake Ontario. I lose alot of fish
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?
Hmm I can take a look at that for sure! I have a Shimano Spheros SW3000 and 4000 upgrade coming soon though! 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.
@@WestCoastFloridaFishing I did subscribe ;). Looking forward to see your new videos, thanks!
hello friend, could you tell me, what would be the equivalent parts for a stradic fl 4000?, congratulations for the videos, you are a machine
The part equivalents are in the description! Thank you for the comment and support! I am working on fixing the links but use the MM dimensions to order replacement bearings! More on this in an upcoming video soon!
great vid. do you have the size in mm for the RD11578 bearing please. I have all the others from a cheat sheet from shimano but it doesn't list this bearing number from some reason. Many thanks
Hmmm I can’t remember I think it was in the video though?!
wow! did great job ! i got 2020 stradic 4000.. do you use same parts for ST4000XGFL? thanks
They usually have some different size bearings between the two!
Hi there, great video again. What is the name of your store in st. Pete. Do you guys sell shimano grease there
Hey thanks for the comment!! The name of our store is Betts Fishing Center and yes we sell three different types of grease and Shimano frag grease is one of them!
Thanks for the video do you think this upgrade works good for Stradic STC5000XGFL?
I would think that some of the bearing sizes would be different! It should be the same process though!
This is my 2nd time on this video. Can this be done in a 1000 HG? Thanks Doc
Awesome!! And yes it can be done with a 1000!
I followed your video to the best of my ability. I got everything changed out but doesn't feel right. I live in Tampa, how much would you charge me to take a look at my Stradic FL 5000XG? Thanks.
Did you get everything worked out yet?
Nice do you have any video on the Line roller?
Hmm. I suppose I don’t. I’ll add it to the list!!
Hey ... thank you for the video it was great ...
Am from jordan i has been watch in you long time
and i have stradic fl 5000
I want to upgrade it !!!!!!
Can u tell me please ...
Which parts of stella i need to use for
fl 5000
Thank you
I haven’t ever done a 5000 size Stradic I’m sorry!!
Theres difference in the sound because of how slow you’re turning the knob of the upgraded reel. But if you turn the handle at similar rate there will be no difference at all. Great tear down though
Great point! Thank you man!
I definitely heard the difference myself between the grinding plastic bushings and smooth rolling bearings, in reality theres zero to none noise compared to plastic bushings, you will hear that. If you say nah, so be it.
Try to use hemostatic clamp and stick some magnet on the Phillips and multi tool it make easy to assemble
Thanks! Unfortunately the screws are stainless steel and magnets wouldn’t help!
Great video. Are the parts the same fr the C3000 FL
Yes they are!
Can these alteration-conversions be made to the FL100HG? Thanks Doc
Some of them can but as the reel is smaller some bearing would need to be changed out. You can watch my 1000 Stradic Upgrading video to get an idea about that reel!
Thanx a lot for your video. I would really like to upgrade my Stradic, too. Are the bearings (part numbers) gonna be the same for Stradic C 5000 XG. I really don' t want to mess this up !!!
They are not going to be the same for the 5000 size I’m sorry!!
@@WestCoastFloridaFishing Thanx man! Keep up the good work!
Thanx for the vid. Can you help me out with the rotor retainer nut upgrade is it the same for the stradic 4000xg. Thanx man
I am not sure about that bearing size but if we think logically I’m not sure how much a bearing does help here……… I wonder why that have this here at all?
Aloha from Hawaii, thank you for posting this article. I would like to upgrade my C5000XG Stradic to a Stella 5000XG. Will I be using the same bearings or not.
Could you please tell me what's the bearing part numbers that I will need to do the upgrade.
Thank you in all and what you do for the fishing community. Mahalo,
Aloha!! How awesome to have such a distant supporter! The correct bearings for the other size Stradics are in the video description! I am working on fixing the links but follow the MM dimensions to order a replacement bearing of your choice but more on that soon!!
friend, can I put a 4x8x3 bearing in the rotor nut without using a bushing inside the bearing like on the stella 18?
Great video! Would be interesting to see a price in description on the total cost (no shipping) to do the upgrades you show. Really enjoy these videos you do a great job just like tackle advisors
Thank you! And that’s a great idea! I’ll look into that next video! And wow thank you so much man! He inspires me for my videos for sure!
Can you give me a Part list for the 4000FL to Upgrade to Stella,please? Thank you doc✌️
Check the video description for the bearing sizes you need for each size. Thanks for asking!!
Hi, I’m upgrading a 5000XGL. Do you know what is the right ball bearing replacement for the part RD20272 (Main Shaft Collar)? The RD14396 you used in this video is a 4x8x3. For the 5000 the main shaft is a 4.5 so in theory I need a 4.5x10x3 but it doesn’t exist. Thanks
Upgrade completed minus the oscillating slider since RD16471 was out of stock. One question though.. do the bearings come pre-lubed!? I didn’t hit them with any oil before installing. Thx!
I believe they are pre-lubed most of the times yes!
I have a 8000 saragosa the 2020 model I'd love to do this modification to make it smoother
Great idea!
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
Under spool: 688 ZZ 8x16x5mm 618/8 ZZ
Worm lower bearing MR 63 ZZ 3x6x2,5 mm
Worm upper bearing MR 52 ZZ 2x5x2,5 mm
Handle bearing MR 74 ZZ - 4x7x2,5 mm
For worm and handle bearing replacement please use metal bushings 0,01 to 0,02mm which allows bearings rotate properly.
@@sebaseba699 thank you very much. Only seeing this reply now
Love the vids. Do you know how much 10lb braid I should put on the fl 2500hg?
I wouldn’t use more than 150yards of braid on a 2500 👌🏽
Just curious about the line that you have spooled on the reel in the video ? Suffix advance superline ?
Hola cual es el tipo de destornillador para rd17220. No logro saberlo. Gracias
I cant found rd16471, the second piece of oscilating slider bushing 😔
Here's the link to buy it off of the shimano stella part list!!!
fishshop.shimano.com/collections/stlc3000xgfi
still cant find RD16471.. any other link? Great video
I’m unsure of what bearing to provide you with but you can always take calipers to it and get the correct bearing size and swap it! Thanks for the nice comment man!
Hi
Very nice video, Will FD, or FJ Spool will fit XG series, i want to have spare spool for XG.
They will not. These have different spool support systems and therefore wouldn’t support the spool correctly.
What type of material is the Stradic rotor made of? And what kind of material is used for the body?
I am looking to pick up a Reel, would you go with the new/used Stradic and upgrade, Vanford new or used or Penn Reel?
I would personally look at the used market for a Stradic or Vanford or ci4+ over penn for inshore fishing!
What is the front\head part name of the black\green hex you use in the beginning?
The brand is Wera but I have the link to another one that will work perfectly!

Hi there, may I know if the parts for upgrade will be different if I chose to get the Stradic FL HG instead of XG or will it be the same parts? Sorry newbie here
They should be the exact same parts!
Allright one question bro, why didn't you oil the new bearings? They came already oiled, or just 'dry' the grease i've seen, but not oiling the bearings? Greets
Hi,
Can you please send me link of the bushing slider that plastic part, I can't find them.
Here is the link to the stella schematic with the bushing slider part number! fishshop.shimano.com/collections/stlc3000xgfi
Is the material used for the body half aluminum and half composite?
Very nice vedio. Can stradic sw6000xg be upgrade also?
I am not able to purchase the Stradic SW as it is a JDM only model!
hello, could u help me with dimensions of rotor retaining bearing for stradic fl 4000? the one from 3000 doesnt fit :/
Yeah unfortunately I haven’t found the Shimano part number that fits that bearing upgrades quite yet!
My guy, my time would rather see me buying the Stella versus this nearly watchmaker alike makeover. No way no how. But good for you!
Do you know if the Shimano Vanford uses the exact same bearings (I've heard the internals are the same)?
Most of the parts numbers for the bearings can interchange yes!
hola como estas, gracias por tu video, muy bien detallado, tengo un Stradic 4000 y quiero realizar los mismos cambios, sabes si son la misma medidas?, vivo en Chile y quiero pedirlos, si me puedes ayudar, muchas gracias.
Hello, how are you? Thank you for your video, very well detailed, I have a Stradic 4000 and I want to make the same changes, do you know if they are the same measurements? I live in Chile and I want to ask for them, if you can help me, thank you very much.
They are not quite the same size I’m sorry!!
Hi, quick question: i biught a c5000 xg, and want to change e few ones but not all of them as i do not want to take the body appart. Are the bearings of the c3000 the same as the c5000xg? Many thanks
They are not the same bearings but the lower worm gear bearing and the handle bearings are the same! Just not the spool support bearing!
Congratulation! A really amazing video. Can you please give us the size of every bearing by code (like you did at RD13274 at comments), because we that aren't from US is very difficult to find or order them with their number. Thank you in advance.
ps: can you also give an upgrade solution for roller ? (bearing number or something else)
In the upcoming videos I will size the bearings with a caliper to help all of you get the correct bearings!!
have you eventually found all the correct bearing sizes?
