Yakmando 49 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
igotafishy 4 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 im pretty sure a 5000 daiwa is equivalent to a 6000 shimano Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShoreJigger 171 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 A little off there. A 5000 Daiwa is equivalent to a Shimano 10000. There is a new Twinpower SW out in Japan, not sure if it's coming down here. The 10000 is a low gear model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ASD14 197 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 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.
