Shimano Stradic 3000 FJ spin fishing reel how to take apart and service 

Thumbs up for this attention to details. circuit tester advice is something that you can save for yourself and viewers will be still happy with content, however you exceptionally take this channel to another level. Big fan here. There is no doubt that you deserve more subscribers Dennis! Thanks a lot.

Thank you much for the step by step instructions. It really helped!

I live near Pensacola and it's been raining all day with the hurricanes moving thru. Luckily I found your channel ! You do a nice job with your vids and I have bookmarked some for future reference. I particularly like your Shimano spinning vids.

Thanks a lot Dennis for quick response and professional advise.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on the Shimano stratic,Great spinning reel.

I don’t own a Shimano reel. That’s kind of sad since I have over 80 vintage spinning reels. I have heard that the Stradic is a fine reel but I have no experience with them. I recently had a problem with a Roddy reel where someone put a lock washer under the rotor nut. I was really mad at whoever did that. I had to use a tiny chisel to bend the points down on that washer before that nut would budge. I don’t like to use hammers on reels! I use a tiny awl on pinions. Works pretty good. Often I’ll spray it with WD40 and brush off with a stiff toothbrush. From watching you I’d say Shimano is synonymous with screws. I like the oscillating system on this reel. Seems like it would be very accurate. It has a nice main gear. I haven’t been able to find Purple Power but Home Depot has a pretty good product that is similar. Don’t you love white reels - they show all the dirt! Never seen a drag washer setup like this one. Altogether this is a fine reel but as you know - too new for me! Great video Dennis!

Dennis, what type of fishing do you enjoy most? Do you have a favorite brand or series of reel to use?

Thanks!

I have a 2500 that evidently has a bad pawl as it doesn't oscillate. I that a tricky job to replace?

Hey man, just found your channel. I recently was given a stradic 2500FJ. How similar are those to the 3000? Also, seems that the handle spins both forward and backwards even with the anti reverse switch turned on. What do I need to do to fix this problem? Thanks!

Hi, I would like to know whether shimano stradic 5000 fj (2012 model) is compatible with stradic 6000 fj (2012 model) spool.

You have it backwards on the spool shims. If the line is more at the top you need to lift the spool to get it even. By adding a shim. Otherwise great video. The 706z one helped me

Your roller bearing is the main issue on the bail arm..

Tooth brush instead the picks 😊

Nice video! I believe you'd enjoy my videos too. Keep up with your fantastic work! 💛💛
