I BOUGHT A TICA 3500 AT A FISHING SHOW AFTER TRYING TO GET AS MUCH INFO AS I COULD ON THIS REEL.10 BB AND THE RIGHT LINE CAPACITY I WAS LOOKING FOR,PLUS LITE WEIGHT.I TOOK SPOOL TO LOCAL SHOP AND SPOOLED ON 20LBS. FIRELINE WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE 8LBS DIA. THE 125 YARD I PUT ON PRETTY MUCH FILLED THE SPOOL.THE ADVERTISED CAPACITY OF SPOOL WAS SUPPOSED TO BE 10/250 12/230 14/205. I POSTED ON ANOTHER SITE WHO SELL REELS AND REPLY WAS TICA WAS RIGHT ON AND FIRELINE WAS OFF ON DIA.THE FIRELINE WAS PRETTY MUCH RIGHT ON -EVEN IF IT WAS OFF THE 12-14 DIA SPEC FROM THE 8LBS,IT SHOULD HAVE HELD MORE.I CALLED TICA,THEY CALLED CHINA AND I CALLED BACK BUT TICA HAD'NT HEARD FROM CHINA.THEY SENT N/C ANOTHER SPOOL TO SEE IF MACHING WAS OFF.BUT IT LOOKS THE SAME.THE 4000 TICA SPOOL WON'T WORK ON THE 3500 BECAUSE THE ROTORS ARE DIFFERENT.HAVE A DEALER SPOOL WITH A LINE COUNTER IF YUO BUY TO SEE IF LINE CAPACITY IS CORRECT.
