Shimano Stradic 4000

In my former life as a land lubber, my spinning reel of choice was the Stradic 4000. Ive had several of them over the years, and they all have stories to tell.  This one's story ends sadly when I broke its arm off backwards.

It had been a while since I dusted off the old Stradic. So long in fact, I forgot the crank arm is not reverse threaded for removal. A cap located on the other side of the crank arm backs out, and that releases the crank.  So there was trying to back the crank arm out when it broke in two.  Foolishly I threw away the handle figuring it would be easy to replace it. Unfortunately, this "build" is no longer supported and Shimano could not replace it. Its gotta be at least 15 years old.

I did not try beyond emailing Shimano in effort to replace the crank.  I really have no idea how likely it would be to find one. Other then lacking an arm, the reel is in decent condition.  It does run a bit rough, but just needs a cleaning and lube.  Ive got four additional spools each loaded up really really really old line. This puppy is ready to go!!!

It could be all yours for $0.00 OBO
You gotta pick up in Santa Cruz area, or possible NCKA express

Think a Sahara 4000 crank arm from that era would fit that reel?  I think I have an old spare parts one laying around that you could salvage the crank arm from.

i think any 4000 FH series crank will work
