We can service them depending on the parts needed. Some interchange with the Calcutta or Calcutta TE depending on the model you have.

bantam1

Call 877-577-0600 to order parts.

bantam1

Same bearings and part number. They have been our standard spool bearing for several years now.

bantam1

How exactly did the line kink? Any braided line can dig if not spooled tightly on the reel.

bantam1

Give me until next week. I'm out on the road and do not have my catalogs with me. I'm still learning all the new model numbers for our products and the GLoomis side. I know what actions and length I want to suggest, I just can't remember the exact model numbers at the moment.

bantam1

Are you looking for a rod to fish both striper and sturgeon? Or one for each? These are two very different fish with different techniques to catch them.

bantam1

I have zero information on their promotion. I only know our promo that will start later this week. I will post the info on the day it starts.

bantam1

I will not know until they start their promo.

bantam1

Like I said let me find out. The person I need to ask is in meetings all day.

bantam1

I'm going to have to double check on that. We usually do not participate in this program. I will find out later today and post the results.

bantam1

For most the show is a place for you to get together with your friends and check out new stuff, drink a beer and just have a good time. I work on the vendor side and no longer get to enjoy the consumer side. I think its a good place for customers that want to look at some of the stuff in person like...

bantam1

Our Nor-Cal prostaff are using the CUC77H. They seem to really like it. We may work on a specific rod for this application soon. The handle length may need to be changed slightly, but the action is just about perfect.

bantam1

Are you looking at Shimano or GLoomis rods?

I apologize for the delayed response. I was on a work trip and had my backpack stolen that had my laptop. I was not able to get online until today.

bantam1

There are several variables with the species you listed and the fishing styles. It's hard to pick one rod based on the info you provided.

bantam1

That will work too. Make sure you either grind all the "teeth" off the jaws, or wrap them with a lot of tape to prevent damage to the spool shaft.

bantam1

We have a special press in our repair department to press this pin in and out. You can modify a pair of pliers by grinding half of the jaw off on one side. This way you can press the pin. Use a small pair of side cutters to finish pulling the pin out.

bantam1

Here are the new releases for 2012. We will have a few more in March.

I'm sorry to hear about this Denise. I hope the scumbags are caught and punished.

bantam1

I'll be there working the Shimano/GLoomis/Power Pro booth as well. I hope to get my hands on some of the new 2012 additions to bring up for the show. Like Dan said stop by with any questions/concerns you have and we'll be glad to help out.

bantam1

It sounds like you need a new anti reverse bearing. We no longer service the older CH100A model. However, our service centers can still take care of this for you.

We will be closed from 12/26/11-1/2/12 for the holidays. This is the first time we have taken the entire week off. I hope all of you have a great Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzza or whatever it is that you celebrate and a Happy New Year!

bantam1

GLoomis has added a green color option for the NRX model rods. The same actions and lengths available in another color. We will still offer the current models as well.

Any Shimano dealer can order it for you if they do not have it in stock.

bantam1

They are both in stock

bantam1

You can get them through one of our service centers or direct by calling 877-577-0600.

The Premier rods were their own graphite. These rods were discontinued in 1993 and covered by a two year warranty. They sold for around $130.

bantam1

The Super Slick is much smoother and makes less noise going through the guides. My opinion is biased of course because I work for Shimano. My personal opinion is that I really like this line.

bantam1

The bearing can fail and in your case it sounds like it has. It is time to replace the bearing and inner sleeve.

ok...i've used the Expeditor on two occasions, once when it was the $50 method( nice for sure but paid the shipping to Loomis) and then $100. With the 100 method I had my replacement rod in 4 days. Pretty impressive. I've yet to find another company to get a turn around that quickly...granted I've ...

bantam1

OK Here is the official reason the Xpeditor fee was raised: The service was started over 13 years ago. The fee was $50 and did not change until 2010. The fee went up because everything else in the world has gone up in price duirng the past 13 years. The Xpeditor covers shipping both ways. There is a...

bantam1

The gear parts (including drag washer and key washer) will cost you around $20-30. The side plate is $65.

bantam1

Sorry Curado 300E. I didn't see the Symetre spool on there yesterday, my apologies.

RD12274 $20.83

bantam1

BNT3994 $33.68 each.

You can call 877-577-0600 to order direct.

Without knowing what model he has it will be difficult to say yes or no. Here is a link to all the Classic Spin Jig rods that we offer:

http://www.gloomis.com/publish/content/ ... n_jig.html

bantam1

Unfortunately we no longer stock parts for this model. Here is a link to our list of service centers that may still have parts for your reel:

bantam1

Which model Stradic MG do you have? F, FA, FB?

bantam1

That is the problem. The line machine is not going to stack the line like the oscillation speed of your reel. Let all the line out behind the boat and wind it all back on while moving slowly on the trolling motor. This will place enough tension on the line. Your problems should go away.

bantam1

What model Stella 3000 do you have? How did you spool the reel with line? Did you do it, or did you have a tackle shop do it?

The spool shims only control the line lay on the spool. Adding or removing washers will not correct line twist issues.

bantam1

In the 200 series there is not much difference besides the drag washer material, gear ratio options and appearance.

bantam1

Thank you for buying Shimano!

bantam1

The reason for the increase in cost is because of the poor exchange rate of the US Dollar against the yen. When the Curado E was first offered the exchnage rate was about 110 yen to the dollar. Now its about 80.

bantam1

You can use the Stradic 2500 or 3000FI handle on the CI4 if you want a lower price handle. The Stradic handle sells for $25.

bantam1

The nut is aluminum that is anodized black in color. Give us a call at 877-577-0600 to order replacements. Check the threads on the drive shaft too. Make sure they are not stripped.

bantam1

What plastic nut are you talking about? The handle nut is aluminum. It might be stripped if you over tightened it. The nut cover prevents the nut from backing off. The only explanation is a stripped nut or the drag star was nit tightened down enough to tighten the nut correctly.

bantam1

I really can't tell you what the reels are worth. There is no blue book for reels. You can look online and see what others are being sold for and determine a price. When you say your Curado reels cast better than your Chronarchs...are you comparing them by using the same rod, line and lures? Also th...

bantam1

I just did a search on Google and found several. Might want to give that a try.

bantam1

The Curado E spool is lighter than the Citica E spool. This will help with casting lighter lures.

bantam1

We only offer stock replacement parts for our reels.
