Power spinning reel with larger spool diameter

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.

Power spinning reel with larger spool diameter

Post by dragon1 » Sat Dec 10, 2022 5:26 pm

Hello Y'all, what JDM threadlines would have a diameter close to the OG Daiwa Real Four 3000 sizes, which is 54 mm? FWIW, the current LT Daiwa 4000 is close at 51 mm.

Also, what size Shimano would get me close to the old 2500 Daiwa, which was 48mm

One more caveat, I want a shallow spool, something akin to the old Daiwa Real Four 3012 capacity.

Thanks in advance.

Here is a link showing difference between Real Four spool diameters vs current LT generation:
