How to Fix a Loud Line Roller | Shimano Vanquish

[@melihdagli5946]

Hi what kind of grase can we use for the bearings?

[@V8RAMBO]

Thanks for the tip i always clean and maintain my reels for my family and this will help.

[@WestCoastFloridaFishing]

No problem 👍 I'm super glad this video was able to help you! Stay tuned for a very informative video on cleaning equipment after fishing!

[@panicg]

So this is not the fix but the replacement. However, nice video. The line roller bearing is the problem with almost all Shimano reels. Within two years of using my Stella 3000 FJ, I had to take it apart and clean it 4 times. I also replaced once all parts of the line roller.

[@WestCoastFloridaFishing]

You are correct, thank you for the nice comment! I haven't had to take apart my stradic that many times since I've owned them but every case is different!

[@panicg]

@@WestCoastFloridaFishing It depends where you fish. If the water you fish is often dirty due to rain falls, then the line roller gets dirty more often. I guess, fishing at ocean or clear lakes will not have the same impact.

[@ShadoWalker71]

Have you ever used ABEC-7 grade ceramic bearing with stainless races as replacrments when repairing or upgrading reels? If so, are they noticeably better performing than the stainless bearings and do they resist corrosion better/longer?

[@WestCoastFloridaFishing]

I have not used that grade bearing at all so I am of no help!

i dont mean to be so offtopic but does anybody know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost the account password. I love any help you can offer me

[@reubenfrancisco5484]

@Tyler Micah I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.

[@reubenfrancisco5484]

@Tyler Micah it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much, you saved my ass !

[@tylermicah5421]

@Reuben Francisco No problem xD

[@hejgoranfesdu]

and my vanford has loose it cklick pin some how.. but is that part so importan just for the click noise? i mean it still works to fish with.. but i dont know if that part in the bail is needed? and how tight should i turn the screw that sets it abart ..the last step i mean when you tighten the linerollewr screw from outside

[@WestCoastFloridaFishing]

Dang! That Sucks! Not super needed no, just a cool feature. Tight enough where it won't back out. Or put a dot of blue loctite. Thanks for watching!

[@h-townfishing1382]

hey i got a stratic 1000, 2500,c3000 . you think the parts would be the same for the 2500 and c3000? ik the 1000 is smaller, so i guess not that one. just wondering

[@WestCoastFloridaFishing]

You’re absolutely correct! The parts for 3000 and 2500 are almost identical! The 1000 size has some smaller part sizes of course!

[@hejgoranfesdu]

tried something klike this on my stradic fl..not so much grease as you do.. but the lkine roller is quiet with rubberband and stuff.. but when fishing and retrive a lure its on again and sound terrible

[@WestCoastFloridaFishing]

Your bearing might be bad and no amount of grease would fix a corroded or grit filled bearing. Try replacing the bearing (rd13269) I think…

[@hejgoranfesdu]

@@WestCoastFloridaFishing its brand New reel almost ...

[@jcthugsta]

@@WestCoastFloridaFishing thanks for the part number, my shimano stradic FL 3000 started to make that same noise while retrieving a lure but didn't make a loud noise when just using a rubberband moving the line roller back and forth. I took apart and cleaned it out but still made the noise. Must be that bearing, hopefully thats the case. I'll update the comment when I get the new bearing part and replace it, thanks for your help man!

[@WestCoastFloridaFishing]

@@jcthugsta no problem buddy! It’s definitely going to be that line roller and it’s the bearing that makes the noise. If you can slide the bearing onto tweezers and put as much pressure on the inner wall of the bearing you will be able to see the difference in a bad bearings vs a good one! Definitely let me know if that fixes your issue!! Good luck buddy!

[@jcthugsta]

@@WestCoastFloridaFishing it worked! just got the bearing (rd13269) and replaced it with this new bearing and it's quiet again like new. Thanks so much for your help. It worked on my Shimano Stradic FL 3k so if anybody else needs that part for their line roller bearing noise problems that's the one. Fish on brother!

[@freddiegonz4113]

I’ve seen the one video that recommended not oiling the line roller. So which is right oil or no oil? Thanks again

[@WestCoastFloridaFishing]

I would not oil the line roller bearings but I would pack it with grease to ensure a barrier impenetrable by saltwater!

[@freddiegonz4113]

@@WestCoastFloridaFishing thanks for your reply. Regards

[@chanviboth2335]

Excuse me! Where can I buy this new line roller? I saw it was made in Cambodia that's my country, but I don't know where I can get for my Shimano Fx4000 Fc.

[@andreasjonsson8075]

Can I have the link for the brush/bearing puller that you use?

[@WestCoastFloridaFishing]

I can set a link up in the description for you!

[@andreasjonsson8075]

@@WestCoastFloridaFishing Thanks dude!

[@Yankees_1996]

I wash with fresh water after every use. Quantum hot sauce oil once or twice per season. Never had a problem.

[@hejgoranfesdu]

i must ask i have problemns with vanford.. tried even new bearings they dont make noise so much but the dont go as easy smooth or to say.. i use high precision grease from abu.. i live in sweden over here all people sa use oil.. but then it sounds bad... but how muych resistanse is accepted? i mean on the sahra fj i have there is no bearing and if you take a line and run it over the linerolelr it dont spin so smooth but its silent

[@WestCoastFloridaFishing]

This is all a personal preference and if you feel it is not feeling right, ship your reel into Shimano for a service. Thank you!

[@sherwinsarmiento3970]

same problem, where can I buy a line roller bearing for my shimano AR-C Aero BB 4000hg? because my reel is noisy. 😔

[@WestCoastFloridaFishing]

Try looking on Shimano. Fishshop.Shimano.com good luck!

[@Fishingonly2020]

One used reel gift for me 😊

[@ghyein]

My Stradic CI4+ sounded like that right out of the box. Replaced the line roller original part from Shimano and it's still sounds like crap.

[@WestCoastFloridaFishing]

Dang man I’m sorry to hear that! I’m not sure why it would still sound bad after replacing it unless that’s not the issue

[@ghyein]

@@WestCoastFloridaFishing yeah I've oiled and greased the Hell out of it, and I can get it quiet for a second but then it's back.

[@banenikolic9130]

Same problem! 2 week old ci4+. Roller is good but reeling under load(5grams lure) make noise

[@kasjankasjan5135]

Can I pm you somehow? I have an idea.

[@WestCoastFloridaFishing]

You can! Find me on Instagram @west_coast_florida_fishing

[@jayytee8062]

It goes bad because people are too lazy to maintain them after every session.

[@WestCoastFloridaFishing]

Some people simply don’t know they need to wash off their reels. Other people probably are lazy!

[@BruceRowe]

As of now 9-13-24 Shimano no longer makes the replacement line roller bearing, I texted them and asked where I could buy a replacement and they did not reply. I guess when your line roller goes bad you buy a new reel .l am very disappointed in Shimano.

[@Jon626]

I just replaced a roller in a 4000 stradic. Gomexus.

[@yaniv5055]

Love your videos bro thanks for your info !!! If you need any parts for any JDM Shimano go to plat.co.jp I buy from them for many years they are the best!!!

[@WestCoastFloridaFishing]

Yaniv18 alright awesome!!! Thanks for the tip man! And I appreciate it man! You guys make it all happen!

[@jayytee8062]

I don't think you know what a shim is and what a bush is. Or even what corrosion means.

[@WestCoastFloridaFishing]

Well I would conclude that you’re incorrect in you’re assumption sir. I know what a shim is. I know what salt corrosion looks like in its three stages. I work on reels as a job and a hobby so I’m pretty familiar with these reels and terms...
