according to the specs, 300m of pe can fit on the spool. i wanted to put some ygk ultracastman pe3 (50lb), but decided to go on the cheaper power pro braid in 40lb. haven't spooled the reel yet. i will let u know how much 40lb power i can fit in. what line do u fish on your 4000 model and how much u fit in?

cheers
bertrand
