Battle is a great reel but, depending on what rod your putting it on. I have always said there should be a 4500 battle, something in between the 4000 and 5000. I had the 5000 on a 10 ft rod and it balanced well but, think its a bit heavy for any thing smaller. Where as the 4000 is MUCH smaller and I think would be too small on a 9" rod.
