Stradic FL2500 Shallow (JDM)
Stradic FL2500 Shallow (JDM)
Just picked this reel up from a JDM dealer, noticed that it has the 3000 size body, and everything else other than the spool seems to match. Doing the bearing upgrades should be fairly easy, but I do not know about the drag yet. From Shimano Japan's website it shows the 2500 Shallow only having a single felt washer, as opposed to the US 2500 has 3 felt washers. The 3000s and above have 3 carbon washers with plates. I would definitely like to add the 3000's drag stack, just not sure I can. I do believe I will need more than just the carbon washers though, I will also need the plates. Where I am confused is if the spool will accommodate the metal/carbon stack. Thanks if anyone knows anything on this matter.

To my knowledge there is no room to add washers if the system is set up for a single washer.
