Daiwa Numbering Scheme
I have a Daiwa Certate Custom Finesse 2004.

Re: Daiwa Numbering Scheme
Not sure if making a joke or genuinely asking but I’ll answer. The 2004 is the spool size. Means 100 yards of 4lb test. It is indeed close to 15-20 years old. Made from 2005-2009.

Re: Daiwa Numbering Scheme
2000 is the reel size. If it ends in "0" or "00", it is a standard deeper spool. The "04" in 2004 indicates a shallow spool that holds 100 yds of 4# line. Daiwa currently designates shallow spools with the letter "S" in the moniker.
Try not to let your mind wander. It is much too small to be outside unsupervised.

Re: Daiwa Numbering Scheme
On some of not most Shimano reels now you can find a 'recycle' triangle and a number which indicates the year of production, very handy.
Would be nice to see the year of production to accurately know what your getting.

Re: Daiwa Numbering Scheme
Daiwa spool diameters from this era are also larger than current "LT" offerings.
