The post for the handle to bolt to is slightly longer on the 5000 when compared to the 3000. It is not a direct swap unfortunately. The handle body is also a different part number for this very reason.

Thanks! Aftermarket knob it is!

Just purchased a used stella 3k and the handle os VERY beat up. I like the round knob on the stella 5k, does the stella 5k handle bolt directly onto a 3k size? I would just buy the knob separately but the total price of the knob is close to the full handle assembly

Iso Gen 1 Concept A Cork Knobs. Help me out

Dang! Should've pulled the trigger on this one when the hook up had it for 50% off!

Can anyone confirm the gears on these are two reels are interchangable? I just purchased Vanquish 3000xg and it's a little bit too fast for me. Was hoping I could order the main and pinion gear of the Excense directly from Shimano USA versus buying from plat.

Appreciate it guys! All squared.

See photos. There doesn't look like there's anything securing the idle gear and it falls out quite easily if I tried to remove it. Is this normal? Looking at the schematics there doesn't seem to be anything securing it. I know with the Main gear sitting over it will prevent it from falling out. Is t...

@hmnginmn, Just got all the parts installed last night on both reels, did you put any kind of lube in the AR bearing at all? I installed the AR bearings out of the package as is but they're a little "raspy" compared to the old ones. Kinda waiting on Dan's advice on what proper lubricant t...

Hello Guys, I have two 17 Scorpion DC 101HG, I think the AR bearing in one of them is starting to go bad, (It slips when jerk bait fishing). Since I use them both equally, I'm thinking about replacing the X-Ship bearings, Pinion bearings, AR bearings and possibly the Roller Clutch Inner Tube on bot...

I ordered this same exact parts from the Curado I hoping it will fit the Scorpion DC on the December first... So I'm still waiting on the part but I will let you know as soon as I get it.

There's a carbontex draf listinf on ebay for your exact reel. I just purchsed it two weeks ago and it fits perfectly.

Thanks guys, I didn't know I could remove the pawl without side effects.

I pick up a used citica g/w problems for a good deal. When I reel it ticks. The drag also doesn't click when adjusting. I took the reel apart and I find that the thing causing the tick is the anti reverse but it looks like its in good condition? Any ideas? Or should I just send it in?
