*Bought a 500 for an ultralight rod. It's very smooth **enjoyable.fishing** recommend casts great. One odd thing- the bale wire is a bit heavy diameter in my opinion for a reel of this size. But a great purchase.*
The rubber band is a terrific idea for the line roller bearing. I sometimes have to back the screw because it’s tightened at the factory to where the line roller doesn’t roll at all.
sounds like a faulty design , it should not stop the roller from freely moving back n forth and rolling with the screw tightened all the way ,got me a new reel and noticed my bail was quite stiff opening and closing , i simply loosened the screws on both arms and its smoother now
Brilliant tutorial thats easy to understand simple to follow along with, my Shimano Stradic needed this and now runs much smoother! Also hats off to whoever has the idea with the rubberband! 😁
That oil you put on the shaft after you took the spool off , the one that goes up and down when you crank the reel by the handle does not get oil it gets a light coat of grease , there’s grease in the gear case , so when it goes up and down it comes in contact with the grease .
This is just a basic maintenance with low viscosity Bantam oil. For people who is more capable, it is recommended to apply grease to parts that the manufacturers advise okay to.
Wouldn't oil wash away grease from within bearings? And sea water then wash away oil? That happened to me when I was oiling roller after every second trip. It was factory greased, but after few oilings when opened it was wet from water, not grease nor oil.
Yes it could. In theory people should use grease or grease spray which has better salt water resistance. However it is totally fine to use this low viscosity Bantam, it’s just that you have to apply it more often.
Hi there! For line roller part, we recommend to oil it once after each saltwater trip. For the rest of reel, we recommend that you oil it after 2 to 5 fishing trips. Thank you!
I would suggest Silicon oil H4000 It's a little viscous but you don't need much and it's perfect for anti-dirt. You get the lowest evaporative loss with silicone oil. Legit space stuff.

@@jinsu0504 It is nothing wrong with applying low viscosity oil on the main shaft. Applying grease or oil must be done in accordance to recommended amount. It's like people don't apply crazily amount of grease to gears.
I took apart all my spinners used in salt and greased and oiled them. I don't dunk them but they get their fair share of spray. The worse part of the reels were the line roller berings
The Line Roller Bearing receives the most salt water. Contrary to this video it would be better to rather unscrew the LRB Assembly, clean and oil the parts in there separately.
The following is a direct quote from Shimano web page: "Do not use WD-40® or any degreaser, as it will cause premature wear and tear on the internal parts of your reel."

It has low viscosity so I do not think it would be the best choice for heavy game. You should instead use medium viscosity or heat resistant grease IF the manufacturers says it is OK to use.
The rule of thumb is light oiling (as shown in this video) every 2 to 5 fishing trips. And a deep cleaning (usually by a professional) every season/year.
@ Disassembling the reel, removing the old grease/oil and replacing it with fresh grease/oil. The once a year rule of thumb is for average anglers who are active and who want to maximize the life expectancy of their reel. If you fish very frequently and have invested in a really nice reel that you'd like to live for very long, then doing a deep cleaning more frequently like twice a year would be even better.
@@walden6272 But I am serious, I have old stradics that I can’t get running smooth again despite trying to maintain them. I clearly did something wrong and so do other people. So what are the don’ts?
Def oil your line roller after each trip to the salt and ever few times in freshwater, make sure the oil actually is applied into the roller bearing and assembly and not just on the outside where the line rolls on.
Daiwa doesn’t recommend adding any oils to areas that contain their magnetic oils as it can disturb the ferofluid. If your Certate has mag sealed ball bearings and line roller bearing then oils those parts can lead to that mag fluid breaking down, not my opinion this is according to Daiwa.
Don't bother, WD 40 displaces grease, your reel will be sounding and running terribly not long after using WD 40. your better off using a proper oil or even better opening up the reel and applying some dedicated marine grease
Def would recommend against that in the long run. Wd40 is a water displacement solvent. It’s not a lubricant at all, once it dries it really offers no protection or lubrication, in fact it’s just cleaning or breaking down the oil and grease out of whatever it sprays into. Plus, it can weaken your line too
i dropped my vanford in salt water and i’m unsure what to do. i’ve soaked it in fresh water let it dry and then re oiled it is that enough? or should i get a professional to clean it

Thank you -- this is just what I needed!
Here’s a tip for you all. For what you pay for 1oz of reel oil you can get 4oz if sewing machine oil. It does the same thing & lasts.
Yup, it's what I use
The lubrication performance of the oil varies tremendously.
I recommend you just use fishing oil
Brilliant tutorial thats easy to understand simple to follow along with, my Shimano Stradic needed this and now runs much smoother!
Also hats off to whoever has the idea with the rubberband! 😁
i do the oiling frequently, but the rubber band trick is very good stuff. thank for the video. ,👍👍👍
Thanks for watching! :D
Great video! God bless! God is good!
What happens to the old oil inside the reef? Don't you have to wash it off first before re-oiling?
Shimano oil advert. You can use any quality oil .
That oil you put on the shaft after you took the spool off , the one that goes up and down when you crank the reel by the handle does not get oil it gets a light coat of grease , there’s grease in the gear case , so when it goes up and down it comes in contact with the grease .
Is it a bad idea to take the reel apart like in the video and rinse it if it was dropped in sand or seawater?
hook me up with the shimano stella! that thing is beautiful
That’s a twin power…
What about greasing?
This is just a basic maintenance with low viscosity Bantam oil.
For people who is more capable, it is recommended to apply grease to parts that the manufacturers advise okay to.
bantam oil should comw with every shimano reel from stradics and up.. its impossible to buy in sweden... do abu garcia high preciscon oil work ?
It came with my stradic 🤷♂️
@@carlosfigueroa847 I DIDNT EVEN GET IT Whit neither vanqush or vanford... men older modells as the rarenium i got one.. even a reel bag... ..

Where can I buy the Bantam oil?
How many times should I oil my reel? I fish one day a week in fresh water.
Hi there! For line roller part, we recommend to oil it once after each saltwater trip.
For the rest of reel, we recommend that you oil it after 2 to 5 fishing trips.
Thank you!
Once or twice a year would be fine if you only use it once a week
Do we need to do this everytime after fishing? Usually I only fish for twice a month
one drop of oil after every 2 use. (stands in manual)
Big maintenance every season, i guess(done by professionals)
I would like a video on the differences of Ace-0 vs Ace- 2 greases.
Can i use fully synthetic engine oil shell 0-w20 ?
Thanks for made nice videos
Can you use the same bantam oil for all reels of shimano? Thanks
I would suggest Silicon oil H4000 It's a little viscous but you don't need much and it's perfect for anti-dirt. You get the lowest evaporative loss with silicone oil. Legit space stuff.
Maybe for Recconanisance Reels 😂
thank u.ehat is the frequency to do it?

@@ShimanoFishSEA thank you.
some reels have a dimple with a hole on one end og the line roller assy ,i assume that is a lubing port?
put a small amount of gearbox oil in your reels 80 90 works great for me
is this an authentic shimano company channel? are you supposed to oil the main shaft like that? I thought it disengaged the antireverse...
Hence the warning to apply with moderation.
@@TrungLe-lw4zm hence no instruction to ever apply oil on the main shaft....where is that warning? you don't apply oil there

Hello! I would like to ask u about Shimano stella? It has the model 2020-2021??? Or only 2019?
The following is a direct quote from Shimano web page:
"Do not use WD-40®
or any degreaser, as it will cause premature wear and tear on the internal parts of your reel."
is the line roller ipx8? does it prevent water getting in and how about oiling?
How often should you do this?
baitcaters every 5or6 uses bc it uses oil and spinning reels use grease so you can do those maybe 1-2 times a year.
T.q.so much..bro.nice.
Thnks for the info
I suggest how also to wash and oil overhead reels thank you ☺

is bantam oil water repellent and friction heat coolant?
It has low viscosity so I do not think it would be the best choice for heavy game. You should instead use medium viscosity or heat resistant grease IF the manufacturers says it is OK to use.
@@TrungLe-lw4zm i just use 3 in 1 machine oil
Thank for sharing...
Can I use bantam oil too for stella sw line roller maintenance?
You can ofcourse. However I would think you should use a medium viscosity oil like LIVRE LA-1
how often should you oil the reel? Every time after a fishing session? Yearly? 2-6months?
The rule of thumb is light oiling (as shown in this video) every 2 to 5 fishing trips. And a deep cleaning (usually by a professional) every season/year.
@@marvenmema thanks for the answer sir! 🙏

I think I will get a syringe and needle to lubricate, more economical and more accurate.
thanks you
What are the don’ts?
Rutger de Jong use common sense
Winchester Walsh don’t use common sense?

The biggest don"t is don"t oil your reels.
What shimano reel was that
Twin power
Maintenance
great info but it is very hard to buy bantam oil.so what oil to use as sabtitute to the bantam?
Try buying Lucas Fishing Reel oil from Amazon...it’s great stuff
@@paulmcphail9169 thank u.
Joint to know
I heard you’re not suppose to put any oil on the roller?
By who?
Def oil your line roller after each trip to the salt and ever few times in freshwater, make sure the oil actually is applied into the roller bearing and assembly and not just on the outside where the line rolls on.
Yes oil on roller for sure. For DAIWA reels that have Magseal, you don’t have to
@@TrungLe-lw4zm 🙏
Love it
Good
I know when I’ve put enough oil on my spinning reel when so much spray is coming off it that I can’t see out of my face shield.
Я полностью разбираю катушку всё тщательно промываю в бензине калоша а потом мажу Используй в хорошие синтетические смазки
у них видимо песка и пыли нет с лодок рыбачат.
Greese is better for sea fishing
What.. oh no.. i thought need to put lots of heavy duty wheel bearing grease inside 😦
👍🏻👍🏻
Hello

😲😲😲👍👍👍
Shimano hunting gear has become very expensive, which is disgusting
これだけ？
Do not use WD40!
WD40 is solvent so it would wash away all grease and oil.
Anyone who tries this on a Daiwa reel with mag seal will be in big trouble!
I did this regularly with my Daiwa Certate, without any issues.
Magseal doesnt mean maintenance free!
Daiwa doesn’t recommend adding any oils to areas that contain their magnetic oils as it can disturb the ferofluid. If your Certate has mag sealed ball bearings and line roller bearing then oils those parts can lead to that mag fluid breaking down, not my opinion this is according to Daiwa.
WD 40!
Don't bother, WD 40 displaces grease, your reel will be sounding and running terribly not long after using WD 40. your better off using a proper oil or even better opening up the reel and applying some dedicated marine grease
Lubricant not wd
😂 people don’t understand WD40 is a solvent and it would wash away the grease
I just hose mine down with wd 40 and go fishing.

Why do people give advice without knowing what they are saying, WD40 is a solvent...
Google it and confirm yourself what it does...
