statesquider 0 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 After reading everywhere the 3000 ci4 spool swaps straight over to the 2500 ci4 I went out and bought one.It fits just fine on the reel but the drag knob no longers fits....Upon closer inspection the spools look different. The 3000 spool isn't as wide as the 2500 spool through the centre. Hard to explain so i'll put up a photo. (Sorry about the photo but i'm using the missus's camera and i can't get it to work properly) Basically the drag knob is too big for the hole The 2500 is the spool on the leftSo do i need a new drag knob for the spool? Anyone else noticed this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
statesquider 0 Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 So I checked out the schematics on the Shimano website and turns out the part numbers are different on the drags and it clearly shows the difference between the spools.How on earth do you get one and does anyone know how much it's going to set me back? I wish i'd known before i bloody bought it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

southie THE BANGA 2,304 Posted October 28, 2011 Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 i think he wanted to get the next size up for more line capacity etc...but dont quote me on that.... statesquider 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
statesquider 0 Posted October 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2011 Southie is on the ball. I'm going to spool this one up with as much 15lb as i can so wanted more capacity as the diameter of the 15lb is biger than the 8lb on the 2500.Will be chasing a lot of big snapper etc on this reel so i want the capacity if i hook a stoinker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
