Need shimano reel parts

[Eddie305]

So I'm praying to god somebody on this forum has both of the parts I need, Saturday I went fishing on the boat and my aunt made the mistake and broke my stradic 5000fh off the rod, so I need the side cover from the reel that going onto the fishing rod, I also need a main drive gear for a 3500 bait runner ( old one ), the bait runner isn't he one that the handle screws into the gear it's the one with the small box that slides thru, so please if any of you guys/girls have any old reels laying around and have any of these 2 parts please pm me so we can talk.

I checked shimano's website. Those reels are too old, your best bet is eBay.. Good Luck.

Not just eBay, do a google search there should be a few other people that stock shimano parts, just like Scott's B/T is the go to for penn parts.

Check ebay

Im with rare on this one, i just did a search on ebay & found

shimano baitrunner 3500 & got 302 listings. I think thats a good start and should find what youre looking for.

Rare what you know about them bait-runners?

[Rare]

I know a few things about them and have the 3 generation baitrunners and find misc. parts on ebay and cheap might i add.

These are the 2 reels that I need parts for, the stradic is an FH the only thing is I made it fit a 5000 Stella handle, but if you guys know a website that they sell parts for them other then eBay I'd be happy, I've checked eBay everyday since it broke and nothing, I've emailed the sellers to see if they have the parts I need also and nothing.

2 option or what I will do. Buy the whole reel or sell that 3500 and get the 4500. If you are having problems now getting parts what is going to happen in a few years. Having the whole reel you can use the one you bought and have your old one for parts.

Head over to Alan site. Few guys in there are shop owners or have better connection to other places

[Eddie305]

I have a 4500b and I love it but I want to have a small one for beach fishing, and what's the Alan site?

I like to repair my reels as much as possible, but on the stradic, depending on the condition of the reel, it might be time to cut your losses. You might be throwing good money into bad, or something like that.

Is that old man still running that store?

Yes, deaf as ever.

[Eddie305]

Sweet thanks guys, I'll call those places tomorrow and see if they have anything, I really care a lot more about getting the side cover to my 5000fh stradic, it's my favorite reel

When I looked into 3500B schematic, I don't see part name called main drive gear.
What do you mean by you need main drive gear? Did you open the reel and checked inside?
Maybe, something loosened inside.
I had a problem with my 4500B and I opened it up and found there was a broken E clip.
And I just fixed it with titanium king fish wire.
See my thread

The reel still working ok...lol

[Eddie305]

The main gear on the inside that the handle goes on to has 1 tooth missing and the others are pretty worn down, I've checked eBay and I did find the 3500b gear for cheap but the difference between both is on the 3500B the handle screws in and on the other one it slides in with a screw on the other side

Just go pick up a new one maybe even a CI for and send your aunt the bill. Most people don't have an appreciation for the amount of money we spend on fishing gear
But I prefer to keep my wife in the dark thank U

It sounds like you need drive gear with square hole without thread.
Maybe, this is schematic of your reel? http://www.nutterrodandreel.com/pdf/Shi ... r3500a.PDF

I agree.
That particular model (3500A) seemed like have been quickly replaced by 3500B. It seems there is not much parts available. It may not be so worthy to fix it.
You may want to tear down the reel and sell individual part on ebay (with $10 shipping charge), which may give you enough money to buy "Stella"... lol

Exactly what I've told everybody, nobody really knows or cares how much you have spent on fishing gear they just see it as stuff to fish with, but then you tell them that you spent 250$ on a fishing reel and they call you crazy
