I bought the 10000 from Europe over this winter before it came over to the US market. I had seen videos online with guys using it and it didn't look bigger than the Daiwa Emblem 5500 which I had on my Legend last year. As it turned out, the 10000 may actually be a bit smaller than the old Emblem Pro 5500. I actually do not know how the Ultegra 5500 and the 10000 differ in size. Can someone shed some light on this? My selection of the 10000 was base on Shimano products and since I was going to get a Saragosa at 10000, I decided on the Ultegra 10000. That was my logic whether it is right or wrong. I am very happy with the 10000 and with 40 lb super slick, I have had no wind knots. It gets plenty of distance but just like in golf, sometimes you just want to go longer. Especially when the fish are breaking way out. One more point, these reels are light so the 10000 balances on my 10.5' Legend very well. The Emblem Pro 5500 worked fine too but it is a bit heavier.
