I use a 4500 on an Arra 1322, it's a good match and you can can to the end of the earth with this setup.

I can get there now wit a 706.That reel would seem small to me on a 1322. What do i know i use a 706 on a 9 ft rod.
Its the speed an line capacity that has me in need.The only thing worse than reelin a jig back in the canal is gettin hung an not reelin a jig back.some drifts I will let 150 yds of line out.I would like a reel to have at least a 300 yd capacity of 30 lb fireline about 12 or 15 lb mono equivilent.Fightin a good fish in that current makes fast work of some lesser reels.My nautil after one week in the ditch is basically a bunker snaggin reel.JP says they hold up so i got the green light.

NIB,

If you end up hating the damn thing, I'm pretty sure Slipknot wouldn't mind adding it to his vast inventory.

I also have a 1322 too so it sounds like a 4500 will find a home on one on of them.


Is it easy to find extra spools for these?

Thanks.

I haven't called Daiwa in over a year to get my hands on one, but last time I called they didn't have them and seemed thoroughly uninterested in importing them for sale. "Maybe we'll import some later this year." That was last spring. That attitude could have changed by now, I would hope.

I don't know if this can help, but here are the top end reels sold by Daiwa in Europe :
- Saltiga (available in 4500, 6500, hi speed or hi torque : GT, expedition...)
- Saltiga blast (only available in 4000 / 4500) : most features are the same

At a lower price you should consider a "capricorn 4500 J" (I insist on the "J"), or a Twinpower.

Hope this helps !
