Hey guys. I'm looking at buying a new reel for kings, jigging and live baiting in Coffins this October. I know 5000 might be smallish, but for about $100 more, and only in HS not to keen. Just wondering what he size of a 5000 daiwa is in shimano as I want a reel in the 10,000 shimano size. May also just get a Saragosa SW or two instead worse comes to worse.

 daiwa catalina 5000 is a decent size/strength mate, they are a good quality, tough reel that can actually dish out 15kg of drag. My mate uses this on a PE5/6 rod for kings and Samson, running PE5 braid and he loves the combo.

If you going NZ or chasing big kings then you may want to step it up to a 6500, running PE8 or similar.
