*Nice reel so far **enjoyable.fishing** recommend used it for about an hour after getting it from Amazon and functioned flawlessly. Very smooth retrieve and the anti reverse is perfect. Feels like a reel that would be double the price.*
This is one of the best instructional videos I've ever watched. I also have this reel and I definitely learned I was not cleaning my reel exactly right. Thanks for the video.
Ditto, who knew, now I know. I was spraying, greasing and oiling all wrong. Thanks
I love these reels.I still have 4 of them and they still work as good as they did out of the box.
Take care of them and they will last .
Excellent tutorial my friend ..Thanks
Shimano is by far the best reel I've ever own! I had different reel brands, but nothing lasts longer than Shimano if you give them the proper maintenance.
Is there a substitute for the Bantam oil? It is difficult to come by now or very expensive? what about Lucas Oils Super Duty reel Oil?
Thank you for this video!
Amateur here, so just by watching you disassemble the thing made me find a loose nut and fix the issue.
I've never done this before. The video is great. Two questions/comments others mentioned that I'd like to clarify further: 1) What about oiling the line roller? 2) What did that comment mean about "indexing the gears"? Thanks very much!
Great video. very professional. Clear voice with no distractions. Very helpful. Wish I'd seen this years ago.
Extremely pleased that you posted this video; however, as others have commented, oil is no substitute for grease. In addition, it is not suggested to insert oil into the body of the reel. There is grease inside which would thin out. Either leave it alone or open it, use a solvent to remove the grease, and then re-grease it. And, last but not least, the most important maintenance to a spinning reel is the drag. The drag washers should be, at the very least, cleaned and lubricated. At most, they should be replaced with carbontec washers and lubricated properly. But, again, I thank you for your video -- it's more than I've done for the fishing community.
Do you replace all the drag washers on your reels with carbontex washers? Is it worth it? Thanks.
Excellent tutorial, now it’s time for me to get to work. Best reel I’ve ever owned!
Fantastic video. Thanks for posting it. Helped me repair the friction ring on my 4000FH and give it a good cleaning!
Great video! I had no idea how to disassemble a spinning reel as my dad bought me a (now prehistoric) Mitchell 300A back in 1980 and it's still working great! even though I've never had it apart.
This is a great tutorial. However, no mention was made about the bail assembly. Oil, grease or leave it alone if it is working properly?
Awesome video...I had installed the anti-reverse bearing in backwards and quickly realized what I had done after watching this. Thanks!
Thanks very much for the great video. Very good instructions and easy to follow. I need to order one part as I found out what the problem was with the reel. I need a new gasket or seal as the one I have has deteriorated and there isn’t much left of it. Thanks!
Great video thanks! Do you have anything that shows how to maintain the bail assembly? I have a Stradic 3000FJ with a rough bail mechanism. Thanks again!
Recently Shimano has re-designed the bail on its spinning reels to something that is not durable (in my opinion). Older reels benefit from a solid bail design that needs little to no maintenance. If your bail doesn't flip smoothly, you may have dirt or grime in the mechanism and spring. Taking the bail apart and cleaning/ lubricating will solve this. Just be careful with the bail because on some models the parts are under tension from the spring and may fly out.
AnglingAuthority.com Ya I got dirt/sand the bail assembly the first time out and when I tried to disassemble and clean it, I absolutely can't figure out how to reassemble this spring correctly so make sure that doesn't happen or else you might end up with an expensive desk weight.
Very comprehensive video and perfect for a beginner as myself. One question, do you know if taking apart a Penn reel would be the same process or do they have noticeably different parts?
Thank you ,that is so useful , please advise about the size of the wrench and does it work for most reels?
This video saved me from buying a new reel. Thank you so much!
Glad it worked out!
Awesome video. Just did that to my 10 year old sahara...much smoother now!!!
Great video!
I noticed reeling in, I thought I had a 22' Rainbow and little ones would come up.
I took my reel apart, cleaned it, WOW! WHAT A DIFFERENCE.
The mystery of the reel is solved. 😁
You saved me a trip to the shop and money. Thank You for posting this super detailed video!
Love the video. How important is is to go even deeper than what you showed on the video? Just know I've dunked my stradic a couple times and its pretty gravelly. Is it necessary to open it all and clean it, or will the oil port suffice? Thanks again
Open and clean it. You want to get all the sand out before it works its way further into your reel.
Great video for shimano consumers that have the shimano stradic reel or other shimano spinning reels. Do you know how to flush the bearings? Also how do you lubricate the line roller? Do you use grease and oil.
I just got this Reel plus a Shimano 6'6 Jig Rod with a bunch of tackle for $30 I want to use it but I'm going to wait till I have the right stuff to do the Maintenance it seems good right now But it's my first Shimano and it spins very freely and smoothly
You did a nice job here, but a reel service without touching the drag stack or the line roller bearing is incomplete. Surprised that you didn't mention this, given how thorough you were with the rest of it. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you. Dunked my Stradic and was worried about the innards. It’s in better condition now than it was before it got dunked. Easy to follow.
Thanks ! Great video...i found my "friction ring" was damaged...where can i order a new friction ring?
Thank you for a patient explanation, which was very easy to understand🙏🙏
Great video. Thank you, this enabled me to salvage a loyal Symetre reel that was misbehaving.
Well done and thorough. One question, I have a Stratic 3000. After a thorough cleaning it still has a grinding noise but only when the line is being retrieved. Any idea of what is causing this.
Would be the Line roller bearing
Good instruction. Do you have any knowledge on trouble shooting the reels. My Saros 3000f is not closing when I start reeling.
Thanks for the great video. One question: I have an older Stradic 1000 with no oiling port. Where should I oil instead?
Jay G If you don't have an oiling port, skip that step. The oiling port was added by Shimano by convenience. If you are following the video, you are getting to most component which need to be oiled and cleaned.
Great video! Any chance you can do a maintenance tutorial on a Shimano 4500B Baitrunner (or similar) reel? It seems the spool support spacer is press fit onto the spool shaft so even the basics in your video can't be performed
Great video - thanks so much! I have Stratic CI4 and it seized up on me after a saltwater trip. This demo definitely helped and now the rotor spins smoothly - sort of. I stopped the video around 17mins as u mentioned that the rotor should spin smoothly with no noise and that is not the case for me. I think i still hear a little sandy/grindy sound so stopped there to see if there are any tips to get rid of that before continuing. TIA!
He did not fully disassemble(even though he said he did)... you need to remove gear housing plate(four screws and plastic gold plate thing) to get to the root of your problem which is either the oscillation pawl or main drive gear. spray with brake cleaner and regrease.
Great video!!! but I'm wondering what is the proper care for the line roller assembly. I have had several "freeze" up on me. Any thoughts?doug N
I use a old hunting sock to put my reels in after the socks elastic gives out,no dust gets in and keeps it from scratching.
great video! I have a symetre which is only about a week old. It was dunked in salt water. if this happens is there any further cleaning you would recommend on the gear box or any of the moving parts? I just want to be sure that no corrosion goes unnoticed. Thanks!
I have a Simano AX2000 for freshwater. It has resistance when reeling in proper direction, but he weird thing is that it spins freely in the reverse direction if I flip the anti-reverse tab that sits under the moving reel.
Daniel McMukin
Awesome tutorial, buddy! Now, is this the best way to clean all spinning reels, regardless of the make? Also, can you show us how to fix a bail that no longer lock into position or an anti-reverse that no longer work? Those are the problems I have with all spinning reels after several years of usage no matter the manufacturers! Thanks again bud for an awesome demo!
Hi, i got an old shimano titanos biomaster 2000gt and it makes perfect clicking sound while retrieving. Is it normal? Are there reels which are intentionally made to click while retrieving? I opened it up and looks like it was made intentionally so..confused am i. Any info about this problem will be appreciated. Thnx
At first, thank you so much for the informative video! I have an albatros reel for sea fishing (Ranger freerunner 60) and thanks to this video I managed to clean the reel. One question however; I do not have an oil import on this reel, like you showed. How could I still oil the interior without opening the whole casing? Thank you so much once again!
Hey, I was wondering about the lube part. I know ardent doesn't have it in its kit but u can purchase it separately. Is it needed, what do you need to lube, and if you do need it do you lube it before, during or after the regular cleaning. Also if u need it how much do u put on
Hi. Curious to learn why you only did 1/2 of the reel, and not the remainder in the body, where the other gears live and breathe !!
Hey mate, good vid. Quick question, I pulled the bail arm off my 1000 to clean and oil, I now have a spring which I'm not sure where to place... any idea?
Do you know what would cause the rotor to get stuck after a cast? I have to manually flip bail every time i want to reel in. Its too tight to flip normally. If i set the rotor to spin multiple directions, I can get a bit of momentum to flip it like normal. otherwise its too tight in reel-in-only mode. Do you think this is just something simple that a bit of grease could fix?
its a Shimano Sahara 4000FA
On a Shimano ax 200q the main shaft has a 'pin' through it preventing the removal of the 'rotor' The 'rotor nut' can be loosened but can't be removed past the 'pin' on the main shaft Suggestion please.....The reel is more than 30 yrs old
It is a perfect video for Shimano reel users. Cheers, mate!
What is Anyone oil for the hearings? Can I use oil lube or reel oil for this? Very informative video , thanks!
+keale s I was using Shimano Bantam Oil
Should there be any movement in handle when reeling forward, slack 1/4"?
I can here the grinding sound you described on my reel, I'm definitely going to give cleaning it ago now. Thanks!
Hi bud I have a fj5000 and lately the bail arm has been not working as it should is this something I can rectify myself
Is this the same process you'd go through with a Sienna 2500? Mine requires more force to retrieve than it does to make it wind in the opposite way (after I've moved that switch).
great Video guys..
this maintenance apply to Symetre Series???
Would I do the same thing with a Shimano Saragosa 4000f? If not, can you shoot up a video on how? I only clean the first few steps and I have never went in full dept in the cleaning.
Okay, so it is the same, but when I put it back together around 6:50 time.. my reel is making sound like some sand is in their.. any suggestions on how to clean it?
I love your videos, they're very informative.
My question is, on the main bearing, you used some shimano oil. That doesn't come in the Ardent cleaning kit. What do you suggest as an alternative? Can I use the oil that came in the Ardent cleaning kit? Are there any applications for that oil when servicing spinning reels?
In my opinion the tutorial was pretty good all my reels get the side plate removed an 100% Synthetic grease gets applied to all gears inside the body. Just my preference. 1 little drop of oil there doesn't cut it. And you missed maybe the most crucial part of the reel wich is the line roller. Good thing I maintain my reels myself. No affence but big slip up. I have sum inexpensive reels that don't even use a ball bearing there so to me it's a critical lube spot.
Just took apart my 10 year old symetre 2500FL that was binding up and found the friction ring was mangled somehow. I found the part number RD7804 is obsolete but I called Shimano and he told me the newer part RD11607 should work but i have my doubts because they look a lot different (mine looks like the one in your video). Are you familiar with these parts and their compatibility?
If solvents do get into the main body and the clutch, will it work if I wash them out with Dawn and let them air dry before resembling the reel?
I take my Abu Garcia baitcasters apart and clean regularly, but not my spinning reels. I will do that very soon. Thanks.
thanks for this, Its huge help for a new in fishing like me. Real thanks, Can you tell me what kind of spray you use to clean the rotor?
I've got a question. I have a shimano symtre 2500 that has started to slip a little bit when I'm reeling fishing in. I don't do anything to my clutch assembly but it's possible that grease/oil could have made its way in there. Is there anything I can do to it or should I just order a new clutch assembly?
try taking it apart and cleaning the clutch friction disks. make sure you do this on a flat surface and be sure to not bend, fold or kink them. they tend to be brittle and once broken must be replaced. this may help
The wire in the bail came out of the fitting on my Shimano. I have 4 on order but they are not expected for 3 months. How can I reattach the wire so it will hold? How does the factory attach it?
Hi, I recently purchased a shimano biomaster 5000 fb. Use it for spinning(salt water). Was wondering if I can follow the same steps for it. I noticed it's slightly different when I take the spool off. Also I've read some posts about using sewing machine oil as opposed to the shimano oil...do you think that's ok? Thanks for the great video!!!
Which reel is it? Usually if it doesn't have an oiling port, then you can skip that step.
What do you think about the cheaper spinning reels like Abu black max or the newer cardinal ???
Re: Stuck gear. I was able to move the gear about one-half inch. Then it froze and will not come off nor return to the original position. Any suggestions for how to remove the gear?
I bought an old Shimano Titanos Aero GT6000, my problem is its drag wont work even if I loosen the drag knot it won't turn that most reel do. please help.
When i Clean a Spinning Reel or a Bait caster Reel i take them all down too nothing and get all the old GREASE out of them? not just a half ass job reel cleaning?
I dont see drive and pinion gear marking before taking out and putting back in? they should mesh exactly the way it did when taken out or else you might come across gear knock.
The AR needs a drop of oil on each cylinder bearing... not sure why you wouldn't clean or relube it to work properly?
That's the most complete video I've seen yet, Thank you! One question though, anything extra I should do with a baitrunner? Thanks in advance.
he didn't remove the bail assembly. Thay needs greased too.
have a symetre 3000FJ and took it apart, cleaned, lubed, according to the video. As I was putting it back together I noticed I had two very thin washers that stuck together one of which was a copper color. Don't know where they go but my reel has no anti reverse now and I don't know if they are related or separate issues. don't know why I have no anti reverse, can't figure it out. Any suggestions?
+Glenn G. You can try taking a look at the exploded part view in your manual to see where those parts go, and then take it apart to see if there are parts missing.
Do you need to re oil/grease the main shaft after replacing the pinion gear? Or should that shaft be completely dry as the pinion floats over the shaft.
I usually put oil on it sparingly. Less than a drop is what I use.
thanks
After cleaning the reel, my reel still makes grinding sounds and is not as smooth as yours. Any other things I can do to fix it or does it mean I have got sand/salt in my bearings and thats it.
Cheers,
It's possible. It may be worth trying to clean it again, or sending it out to get serviced professionally.
hi sir. i did all the proses and the roller click not working. i placed all the spool washer the three of them. now.. if i place onky two of them, the clicker work fine. so what to do? its ok to use only two of the spool washer instead of 3 of them?
Awesome video! how about you do one for the stradic fj 8000?
What is the bare minimum I need to do? I don't feel comfortable pulling the whole thing apart.
so i followed your instructions to clean my shimano stradic 2500 everything went fine except that now the antireverse does'nt work. any suggestion?
Sounds like it's due to incorrect re-assembly. You should recheck to see how you reassembled the reel. It's easy to get the antireverse sleeve backwards.
I have Twin power sw5000xg and is it normal that spool rise and fall for 1mm main shaft gap,sry on my bad Eng. Tnx
It really depends on your budget. What range were you looking at?
Noticed that you did not take the side plate off and doing any cleaning in that area. Why?
you forgot one of the most important things on a spinning reel...the line roller! especially for those people fishing on salt water its the first thing that gets rusty and needs frequent cleaning and oiling...its exposed to water all the time because the line passes through it. there are even more things i would clean and re grease on a spinning reel...
and gear in the body,,.
Dont u grease the spool shaft?
Also how about the bail and bail spring assembly .
good video m8 very informative, I would just like to ask if your going to do a video in the future showing us how to remove the bearing shield, cheers
Thanks for the feedback
I just bought the st5000fj would any one suggest it for bass and snakehead fishing
Followed to the letter on my Symetre 4000 FJ and anti-reverse is not working..... What should I do?
you put the sleeve that is between the bearing and the clutch assembly on upside down. Make sure the wide end is on top
Can you tell me where to buy the oil (supplies you used).
My Shimano 6000 spinning reel whilst I pull the line the handle spin backwards . What is wrong with that ?
Am in the Philippines, Having hard time to look for Shimano oil and grease , can i just used the singer oil? or any suggestion? Thank you.
Maybe try ebay? I don't recommend using the singer oil.
@@AnglingAuthority my local bait/tackle shop recommends the Penn kit that contains oil and grease for my Shimano's
Great Video 5*****Stars and a thumbs up two you my friend, I got a Rapala XI Series Xtreme and the handle is hard moving sometime it like it gets stiff when you flip the bell back and then you reel the handle you got two forces it sometimes but it be ok after a few times do you think it could be the gears....
I would check and see if there's any corrosion on the gears. If its all clean then I would make sure its lubricated well. If its still not working well, then double check to make sure you have all the parts in correctly. Be thorough, because getting even the smallest part backwards can cause your reel to malfunction.
Thanks for the tip my friend.....
Would this be the same on the shimano twin power 5000 , cleaning and oiling ?
Hi can u tell me how to move the handle from 1 side to the other on the twin power 6000/8000 the 1 with the 2 screws that hold the cap on ? It won't just screw off and on the other side like some.
Soo essentially the main gear, entire worm gear, a couple bearings just sit inside the body and collect all the grease from the pinion. If you don’t open the sideplate and clean it you’re just building up a stockpile of muddy grease. It’s just a few screws, you could actually not even disassemble it but just clean it out!
Very informative man. Great video. Improved the function of one of my stradics. Thanks.... Please upload one that takes apart a bait caster...particularly revos!!
I love the Revos and own several. This is a great idea, stay tuned!
don't neglect the drag washer, extremely important to clean and re-grease it and yes you better index the gears or when reassembled you will get a grind that the thickest grease will not fix.
Do you have any tutorials on how to disassemble a Quantum Hypercast reel and maintain it?
Could you please do a stradic ci4 video i broke mine down to clean it and now my anti reverse doesn't work not sure what I did wrong.
do you need to take care of the bail? it sometimes doesn't close all the way and i have to close it by hand. i felt like there might have been dirt in the bail closer joint so i took off the bail and kinda brushed it. Put it back on, problem still not solved, and now it's loose
What do they call this older model handle type compared to the newer S1 and S2 type?
my reel does not have a rotor nut or a lock screw. its pretty old. did they make rotors not removable a few years back?
