Ugrade to Saltiga Expedition 5500H?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Oliver Deakin:
You may be right.

I am a fool!

Any feedback on the play from one end of the bail though as you have two of these?

Alex Gomez:
Definitely not a fool, we all want the best and the latest and greatest!

I haven't even noticed it? I have only had kings to around 10kg on the 5500H so not really tested to its limits.  No issues though.

Maybe speak to Daiwa service about it?

Cheers AG

An 08 Stella spool will still cost $350-400 from shimano Aus

Mark Panhuyzen:
The play in the end of the bail arm is normal.    I asked daiwa in 2007 when I bought the original 6500 exp.  They didnt explain why but if it is still there on the new models there must be a reason.  I have Two  6500exp   8 years old and the play is no different now but I do grease that join regularly. I hope the new mag sealed bail roller bearings last longer than the old ones.

I suppose they contain the drag system and are machined from a solid block so it kinda makes sense but it still hurts to shell out that much for a spare spool!
The advantage with the 08 though is that there are a few used ones about and other brands that are compatible.

Cheers!
