******* EDITED DUE TO BEING TOTALLY IRRELEVANT **********

neways lol... pluggin or tossing tins so it's either the 4500H or 4500...

Z-4500H has a 5.7:1 ratio weight 20.3oz
Z-4500 has a 4.9:1 ratio and weights 20.1oz

thats almost 1 whole rotor revolution more per handle crank... i'm a noob to this highspeed spinning reels... I would assume the highspeed is great for retriving tins to tunny and such but would it be practical for hooking up large throwing poppers, dannies, swimmers, ect...

boy I'm dying to see the irrelavent stuff. can you put it into another forum?

I'd go for the slower one. Interested in that reel myself. Have you tried one?

heh, I couldn't believe I actually posted what I did..
Trust me you don't want to know.. nothing bad I guess I was just venting in a somewhat drunken fashion..

I got to play with the Z4500 as my buddy lent it to me for a day... I was scared to play with it as I didn't own it and at the time was running for $700... Made a few casts and after it started to feel comfortable I put it away and slapped on another reel... heh.. If I could have afforded to replace it, trust me I would really used it...
