I echo what Tattoo said about the reels. They are great reels in all respects. The 4000/4500 have 22 pounds of drag pressure and the 5000/6000 have triple that drag strength.

The bail is manual meaning it will not close unless you do so with your hand. The reel will not even really turn if the bail is open.

Also, another great aspect of these reels is the huge handle arm and knob. Very powerful and comfortable.

I have talked to the reps at Daiwa America and these reels are marketed for sale herein the US as well as overseas. They will be serviced at Daiwa US and are covered by the Daiwa US warranty.
