Great reel, I have two of them. The only draw back in my mind is the line capacity in this size, it took about 270 yards of 50 lb. power pro with backing of of about 25-30 yrds. of 20 lb. big game.
Otherwise, you can't go wrong.

270 yards should be plenty, even for the Canal. I could probably get a whole 300 yard spool on there if I used 10# backing and just put on enough to give the PP something to bite into. |

The other drawback is the !@#$ing price.   |

Specialist,
I got the 5000 with an additional 5000GT spool. I think it'll be hangin' of the Breakaway 11'9'' ( 6" cut off the butt). It's a bit much @ 29oz for the Breakaway 10'er I think.

OK, I'm looking at the Daiwa website.
Capacities and specs look identical between the 4500 and 5000 and the 6000 is awful heavy.
What is everyone fishing and what does everyone want to see. I'm not buying a bunch of those things considering the price.... 
I'm thinking of getting a few 4000's and 4500's unless people want to see the 5 and 6. |

I don't think it will be too heavy Jim. I put an older 300 on my 1209 and it balances very nicely. (it is the older one with the 6 allen screws, weighs 27 1/2 ozs) |
