rooboy123 9 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Gday all. I have a Shimano Nexave 4000fb reel and no paperwork to go with it. All i can find about it on the net comes from overseas. Im guessing they are similar to a Sienna? Has same retrieve ratio and line capacity. Was wondering if anyone had used, or know of them. Would mostly like to know the drag details and if i could use this for sp fishing snapper(when i get on the water again!!)Any help would be appreciated.Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben m 0 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 The nexaves came out a few years ago mate. From memory they were a top little reel for the price. Knew a guy who used one for snapper and stuff and he loved it, pretty sure he got a 13kg kingy on it too. But yeah the 4000 would be perfectly fine for light snapper and mulloway luring as well as rat kings and big salmon even for whiting out of the boat as well. The 4000 size reels are very versatile. Hope that helped ya mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rooboy123 9 Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Cheers mate, that was helpfull. Would love to pull in a 13kg kingy on it!!!!Have done some lighter fishing(whiting, st's)on the reel, but is good to know i can load up the other spool with some heavier braid and give it a go. The sad flipside is this makes it harder to justify buying a new reel!!Thanks for the info Ben. Think i just have to push a button to give you karma, so hopefully that works.Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben m 0 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Not a prob mate, With good care and maitinence it should last ya ages. I use a stradic 4000 and am running 10lb braid one spool and 20 on the other. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
