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.
