Super User casts_by_fly Posted March 16 Super User Posted March 16 Hi gents, every shimano spool I’ve had has been interchangeable within a size. A family friend passed a couple years ago and his wife was recently getting rid of some of his fishing stuff. My dad saw stradic 3000 spool and grabbed it for me, knowing I have that size (he fishes vanford 4k size). It’s an MgB spool though and for the life of me I can’t see that it will work on my modern stradics. Was there something special about this spool that I’m missing? And anyone want to trade for a different stradic spool that will work for me? rick Quote
Super User bulldog1935 Posted March 16 Super User Posted March 16 No, that spool will not work on a new Stradic. https://jdmfishing.com/vault/shimano-stradic-mg-fb/ - discontinued by 2010. (found a 2007 thread online). Like CI4+ became Vanford, Stradic Mg became Vanquish. Shimano builds their worm-drive spinners in series, beginning with each new Stella introduction. Spool pitch changes with each Stella introduction. E.g, '18 Stella spool fits Stradic FL, '22 Stella spool fits Stradic FM. If you go to an online Yumeya catalog, you can find the Shimano spool number for each series and size. It may not go back farther than 8 years or so. e.g., Large frame Stradic FL spool number is S-28. Here's my '21 Twin Power C3000MHG (mid-frame) wearing a '19 Vanquish shallow braid spool for PE#0.6, etc. Quote
Super User casts_by_fly Posted March 16 Author Super User Posted March 16 Thanks. I didn’t think so based on fitting it together but not fitting together. 1 Quote
