Zenon spinning reel differences (USDM vs JDM)

Reels are the hottest topic for TackleTour. Everyone wants to know what the latest and greatest is and how they compare to the old guard. What's the best for light stuff, or what's your suggestion for heavy cover. Do we really need different retrieve ratios? It's all in here.

Zenon spinning reel differences (USDM vs JDM)

Post by Big-Bass » Thu Apr 07, 2022 8:51 am

I am looking at a Zenon JDM spinning reel and I see 3000SH, 3000MSH, and 4000SH. I really like larger reels (I use mostly Daiwa 4000LT size reels) for fishing for smallmouth up north. Are the 3000 sizes in the JDM market the same as the 30 USDM? Also, anyone know what SH vs MSH means? I also wonder if the 4000 size would compare to the Daiwa's I use or should I stick with the 3000 size. Thank you for your help and best wishes on the water!
