I think I fit something like 270 yards of 50lb powerpro with 25yards of 20lb backing on my 4500.

Mike How do you like that reel in the sand? can it take it?

That capacity may work for me.
I would just need a spare spool, I can imagine how much they cost

What the hell is sand? We dont have sand over here.

I used it 50 percent of the fall last year and never had an issue.

It's worth the money, but then again I dont do anything but fish. I can see a guy having multiple hobbies finding it expensive. As you know, good tools are not cheap.

Spare Spools - $140 bucks. http://www.japantackle.com/Daiwa_ree...iga_z_spin.htm

I just want a colored one like these. Don't ask why, I just need it.

Mike-

What Tattoo said is about accurate. I think last year I fit almost an entire 300 yard spool of 50 pound Power Pro with 17 pound mono backing. This year I'm using less Power Pro just because it's cheaper and I'll never get into the last 100 yards of the braid anyway.

The 5000 definitely holds more line than the 4500 and is a much bigger reel, but if you're gonna buy a 5000 why not just get the 6000 -- same reel and more capacity.

By the way, the Daiwa website is incorrect when it has the 4500 and 5000 as the same reels.

For the curious . . . a personalized blinged out 4500 is $825


Just build another cabinet - Ya know ya want one Slip

[JoeP]

Yeah but if you shop around you can get an un-blinged out 4500 for about $200-$250 less. Works just as good.
