New Daiwa Saltigas coming?

[Robert Howard]

Saw somewhere that a 5500H and 8000H were to be debuted.  Anyone have any info on the line capacity for the 8000H? 

Thanks

[Ian Cook]

According to what I have read, the 8000H holds 540mtrs of PE6 and 400mtrs of PE8 and the 5500H holds 350mtrs of PE5 and 270mtrs of PE6.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Ian

Is it also true that there comes a 6000 with low ratio?
Like the old expedition.

Best regards,

Just from what I have read.. I believe May after being shown at the Osaka Show.  Again, just from things I found on line.  I have no first hand knowledge at all.

[Arnout Weber]

I hope before may.

Is that reel so big or are the hands of the person so small?

[Robert Howard]

Well since the person who held the reel had nail polish, I am HOPING it was a woman.  The normally have smaller hands  

Still, the reel isn't going to be small.  I would imagine same body or about the same as the 7000 with the spool being larger.  Listed weight so far is 875g vs 842g for the Dogfight.

[Arnout Weber]

Maybe he is transsexual.

But the reels look nice.
I hope they are available before my trip in May.

Regards,

Arnout.
