Hey y’all I just got a used ci4 ultegra 5500. It is the Shimano Ultegra 5500 ci4 xsb model which came out 9 years ago. I was wondering if any owners of either the new or old model could tell me if I had the long spool. The guy that sold it to me told me there was an extra spool. I am aware that it comes with one regular sized spool and a “long spool”. However the two spools I got are the same size. I added pictures below and both the spools seemed to measure 2.5 inches. Furthermore the plastic slow-oscillating unit below the spool, seems to not align straight hence the rattles and the uneven feeling when I turn. I understand that since it is an older model that it won’t be perfect but I would like to know if I got what I paid for. If not, I may have to buy a spare long spool for the reel. Thanks IMG_4967.mov

Hey y’all I ordered the 45mm gomexus knob. I tried putting it on my 2014 ci4 ultegra 5500. However unlike my other gomexus knobs the screw that I have isn’t long enough to fit through the bearing and the hole. Do I have to get another screw or is there a way I can fix this? Because if I were to screw it without a bearing, the knob wouldn’t spin. I wonder why gomexus doesn’t just give a screw as part of the set UPDATE: I found out that the old ultegra model has a different shaft than every other model so none of the bearings or washers fit. I am disappointed that I was told it would fit by a gomexus member when it didn’t. Contacted them again and waiting for a response now IMG_4979.mov

Looking to sell some reels that I’ve collected over the years and were barely used.

Daiwa Laguna LT4000c - loaded with 20# braid (can’t remember the brand) - super light and very smooth for a budget reel - $35 shipped 2. Shimano Spheros SW 4000xg - great reel but I have a Vanford and Stradic so this one just sits. Comes with box. $70 shipped 3. Penn Pursuit 2 and 3 4k - selling as a lot. These were probably fished 2 or 3x each for porgies from a pier. $50 shipped thanks for looking!

got these for a guy. bought from hedgehog shop in japan. he didnt want them afterwards. some cussing and words later. i let it go. got them in black as it blends well with most reels. i just put it on a reel to demonstrate how it looks or its purpose. You can see how it lifts the reel up off the bottom. want to sell. i have no use for it personal. My boat reels uses similar but with line clips instead. reel stands are nice to stand your reel off the ground, sand, concrete, whatever. protects it from ALOT of scuffs marks when laying rods down. $12 shipped. no need to order from japan and pay like $30 shipping. take all 3 for $30 shipped. PPFF venmo zelle fits the reels ill list underneath. please make sure you have a model on the list with a Type A size hole. generally smaller size reels, fw, inshore sizes. i cant confirm other fitments, daiwa and shimano uses a standard thread for those reels. which is classes as Type A. the diameter of the threads are 11MM.

So I own a few Stella’s 2- 20k and 1-30k, love and trust them. Wouldn’t trade them for any other reel. Now, I have not fished with one, but I have got my hands on the TP’s a few times. They are unbelievably smooth and have nearly identical drag ratings to the Stella. Obviously not made in all the sizes as the Stella is. Can anyone actually tell me in detail what the actual differences between the two are, other than color, the name, and the sizes they come in? For 1/2 the price, if you’re in the market for a reel in the sizes offered for the TP and the Stella, why choose a Stella other than the name? Again, Stella owner here. Have also owned Saltiga’s.

Have a Brand new in box Shimano Twin Power 6000 USA purchase. Has XL Smooth casting 14lb on the spool. $469 PayPal F&F (Firm price!) I will cover USPS Priority Mail Insured. Thanks for looking!

I've been eyeing the Shimano TOR14HGA Torium Star Drag Conventional Reel for surf fishing. I have an old Shimano Calcutta (No level wind) that has worked very well for a lot of years and I thought I might look at their current offerings. Thoughts are appreciated.

I have a Stella that I need out to service the drag. I have a few of these and it’s the first time I felt the need to send one to Shimano. Certainly thought better than to send during holiday. I can insure the package TO Shimano, I have concerns getting my reel back. Anyone have any issues with the Shimano Service?? I’m in NY and believe there are 2 service centers. Is one better than the other? TIA - Andrew

Selling my Stradic 5000XG , used once. In 10/10 condition and comes with the box . Just looking to upgrade to a bigger size reel. Paid $239 asking $175 .

(2) Star Handcrafted 6'6" 30-50# roller stripper and tip with single speed TLD 25’s loaded with 40# momoi and 80# wind ons. The reels have upgraded carbon fiber drag washers and power handles. The rods have intact foam grips and an Aluminum gimbal butt. These were used for school bluefin tuna trolling south of Block Island for two seasons and caught fish up to 65” and 150lbs. The length makes them ideal for trolling in the long rigger position out of a gunnel rod holder on a smaller boat without outriggers pulling narrow side trackers. (2) Star Handcrafted 5'9” 16-30# roller stripper and tip with single speed TLD 25’s loaded with 40# momoi and 60# wind ons. The rods have intact foam grips and an Aluminum gimbal. These were used for striped bass trolling umbrellas, T-man tubes, mojos, and large soft plastics. (3) Okuma Custom Black 6'6" 20-40# with Okuma SLX20 reels. These combos are made exclusively for West Marine and retail for $150ish now. If I remember correctly, they were well above $200 when I purchased them. Two are loaded with 30# Berkeley Big Game, the other is empty. These were bought for mahi trolling but are unfished. One setup has been on a few boat rides. I am asking $900 for the entire package, or $700 for the four Star combos and $300 for the Okumas. I will entertain reasonable offers. I would prefer local pickup, but shipping can be arranged in the CONUS. These would outfit a boat nicely for inshore and light offshore trolling. Thank you for your consideration and Happy Holidays.

Selling a used, great condition Saragosa SWA 5000XG. Fished frequently, (since release of new model) but always rinsed/cleaned regularly, undunked. Has not been serviced, but spins smoothly. Some amount of cosmetic wear/tear, shown in pictures below. No box/papers. Also selling two SWA 6000HG spools, used sparingly, very clean, no wear/tear. Take the reel for $220 shipped, $200 pickup (20794). Spools for $85 shipped, $70 pickup. *SOLD* Take it all for $300 shipped, $265 pickup.

Only used 3-4 times on my boat. The reel is like new . I have 2 of these and would like to trade for another Stella SW 10K-20K size, 2013 model or newer. Or maybe a Saltiga. I need a larger reel, more capacity and drag. Only mark I can find on the reel is a tiny mark on the base of the spool where it looks like a nick from a razor or something when putting the line on. Comes with box, bag, shims, and line cover.

Selling a used Saragosa 18000F in good working condition, just doesn't get enough use. It's spooled with 80lb powerpro. $180 TYD via paypal. Mike

Used plug bag $35 plus 5 for shipping.

Hey Everyone, Recently had some issues with one of my reels and am looking to replace it. Searching for a Shimano Stradic in the 1000 size. Not too worried about which generation, just more so curious about what everyone has to offer. Not really looking for anything new since I am trying to save some money purchasing used. Thanks in advance, Salty
