Lou,
I'm not much of a surf man with a spin rod but I've researched the hell out of the Spheros - great reports from everyone. I just bought (3) 4000's for the light spin on the boat & have (2) 14000 on back-order.
Hopefully the following spec's I got from Shimano will come out in a readable format.
