smr913 Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 They don't always have parts available for the new reels right away. I've been looking for a new spool for my 2016 Stradic. I celled Shimano and they couldn't tell me when they would have parts available. I've always heard Tackle Trap is a good place to call for parts. I ended up finding spare spools on the Bay. Quote

Im not sure why they told you they didnt, they usually have it as soon as it comes out. Go to the link below and click the blue tabs on the right side of the product specs for your reel. Find the part numbers you need and call 1-877-577-0600. The spool for the 2500 is RD17665 and they have them in stock. about $45. http://fish.shimano.com/content/sac-fish/en/home/products/fishing-reels/spinning/stradic-ci4plus.html Gary at the Tackle Trap is great. I ordered a MET MGL spool from him for the same price as Shimano is selling for. He included an O-ring that is needed that has to be ordered separately if from Shimano USA (50 cent part). Quote

This is the Shimano Parts Shop and the Stradic Ci4 1000HGFB isn't an option. The spool assembly for my model is part RD17775. https://fishshop.shimano.com/vip/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT<>prd_id=845524441848376 Quote
bigfruits Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 unless they are out of 1000 size for some reason they should have it. The drop down doesnt work with the MGL or Stradic ci4+ on the parts shop. I know the 2500 spool is in stock. At least it was this morning. For parts that are not ready for purchasing online go to the main site and look up the parts list there before you call. Heres the 1000 (RD17775 is correct) http://fish.shimano.com/media/fishing/shimano/sac/images/schematics/Spinning/Current/Stradic_Ci4_FB/16STCI41HGFB_v1_m56577569831026040.pdf BTW that link you posted is the old version. the new one should be here but the drop down is not working yet. https://fishshop.shimano.com/vip/product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT<>prd_id=845524441860538 1 Quote
smr913 Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 It's been a month or two since I called and spoke to them. I couldn't find it online and they told me it takes some time for parts to come available on new models. They may have come out between now and then. I'll give them another call. 1 Quote
Outdoors Posted February 14, 2017 Author Posted February 14, 2017 Anyone have any good recommendations for a rod under 100$? 1 Quote
OnthePotomac Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 Fry, with regard to your question on spooling braid, always use a backing before you install your braid and it will prevent braid slipping under pressure (and saves money). I just use old 10lb mono for my backing. I also use a backing for all of my lines to save money. Why put a football field length of line on a reel if you are usually going to be throwing 20-40 yds. I try to keep my line to about 1/8th of an inch from the spool edge if I can because as the line length reduces, so does the distance you can cast because of the change in spool RPM with less line on it. 1 Quote
JDNKC Posted February 20, 2017 Posted February 20, 2017 I just tried my new 70 out yesterday. What a great reel. I must say it was noticeably smaller than the 200i. I am impressed so far. 2 Quote
