I've had my Ix4000 for 6 years, serviced it once but it really doesn't need it, it has zero ball bearings lol. I have a 80$ Shimano Sahara and it's nice, but not nearly as dependable

[@AA1PR]

cool good to hear, thanks

[@nallenthepuh]

Thanks a million for showing the quick fire system!!!!

[@AA1PR]

glad it helped you out, Ive been using one since 1982 , my first was a BX15

[@nallenthepuh]

@@AA1PR just bought an Shimano FX4000 on auction. seems to be from the 80s and i noticed it have that feature so im very happy you showed how it worked. I love those old reels.

I have the Shimano cx4000r with the Quickfire II and didn't even know what that was for until I watched this! Thanks :)

[@AA1PR]

LOL now you can use it and be faster

Not being able to afford those awesome brand reels from abu garcia, penn, lews, and so on, I bought one of these for 12 bucks back in 2016. This reel paired with an ugly stick is unstoppable, without a doubt one of the best purchases I've ever made, and still using it to this day.

[@AA1PR]

Awesome, sometimes price doesnt equal quality

great review mate.

What size braided line is suitable for this Shimano IX 4000r spinning reel?

[@AA1PR]

different manufacturer lines vary, but I have used 30lb braided without any issues

[@Arcturian1111]

I have this reel, I'm trying to get the top spindle off, it won't budge. Any ideas?

[@AA1PR]

Yes, open the bale, hold the handle & turn the spindle if facing the back of the reel to the right

[@Arcturian1111]

@@AA1PR thanks I figured it out. For some reason the top nut to the spool doesn't loosen.

[@AA1PR]

@@Arcturian1111 nope just the whole spool

[@Arcturian1111]

@@AA1PR I actually caught a small blue fish with this reel yesterday. I'm stoked. It worked amazing for an inexpensive reel.

Should I get a whoopin stik for cat fish. Im just getting into catfish fishing so I’m looking for a setup

[@AA1PR]

I cant tell you what to do but I love mine for small fish like perch & trout you can hardly tell they are on the line, I fish with my finger pinching the line against the pole, Ive caught more perch this year on it, thanks for the view & comment please subscribe as it helps out the channel Thanks

[@jackobrien4432]

@@AA1PR I was thinking of a whoopin stick and a quantum optix 50. If you have any knowledge of that being good or bad that would help. Thanks!

I cant seem to stop the drag I ended up breaking that dial on the back right out of the package

[@AA1PR]

so sorry to hear that maybe it was defective out of the box, I woudl send it in for a return

[@manzfishing6531]

is it graphite or metal handle?

[@AA1PR]

definitely a metal handle and frame

[@manzfishing6531]

@@AA1PR sure about that? been searching around the web but nothing i found said its metal handle and mostly the component made out of graphite.

[@AA1PR]

@@manzfishing6531 no you are right I was thinking of the other shimano reel I have

[@AA1PR]

@@manzfishing6531 sorry I was thinking this was the shimano sienna 4000 reel video, you are right the frame is graphite, but the crank handle is metal if that helps

[@geidsonsilvasilva9316]

Eu tenho um, muito bom.

[@AA1PR]

muito bom espero que funcione bem para voce

[@maliktvha4303]

Is that reel Saltwater resistant?

[@AA1PR]

Most likely not

[@riyajpathan3854]

That real should be on a 4 to 5 ft rod

[@AA1PR]

thats too short

[@joebrann4612]

That real should be on a 4 to 5 ft rod

[@AA1PR]
