The bottom line Five named Daiwa systems and not one number — worth it only if you already know what a Black Widow 4000 weighs and holds.
What the maker puts in writing
Size 4000
Baitrunner clutch system
AirBail · Twist Buster · infinite anti-reverse
Front drag · anodised aluminium spool on an alloy motor plate
Named parts instead of measured ones
Five systems, all of them real and all of them findable in Daiwa’s catalogue. What is missing is every number: the ratio, the weight, the capacity, the bearing count, the drag.
Two reels on this shelf publish all five of those. This one is dearer than both.
The sentence that did not survive translation
Vorder Ziehen Sie Die
Three words that were once « front drag ». It is printed here as it stands, because the alternative is to write a specification the maker did not publish.
Where it can be bought
Germany 60,85 €, France 77,55 €, United States 142,88 €. Absent from Italy, and no price returned in Britain or Spain.
Availability
Read on the day this page was built: 61 € to 78 € at the German and French Amazon shops.
Priced in another currency: the American Amazon shop sells it outside the euro, so the range above excludes it.
Catalogued and unsold: the British and Spanish Amazon shops list the reference with nobody behind it.
No such listing: the Italian Amazon shop answers the reference with a search box rather than a page.
Read from Keepa on the day this page was last revised; stock and price both move without notice.

The declared figures, and the point they run out
Strengths
Names five distinct systems, each of which can be looked up in Daiwa’s own range
An anodised aluminium spool on an alloy motor plate, which is a structural claim rather than a finish
Infinite anti-reverse, which matters on a freespool reel more than on a spinning reel
Compromises
No ratio, no weight, no capacity, no bearing count, no drag figure
The German text is machine-broken — « Vorder Ziehen Sie Die » is a front drag passed through a translator
Absent from the Italian store, and no price returned in Britain or Spain
The American price of 142,88 € is more than twice the German 60,85 €

Questions that come in about this one
What is Twist Buster?
Daiwa’s name for a line roller shaped to shed the twist that a spinning reel puts into line on every turn. It is a named part rather than a measured one, and that is true of everything in this listing.
Why does infinite anti-reverse matter here?
On a freespool reel you engage and disengage the spool constantly. Infinite anti-reverse means the handle cannot back up even a fraction when the fish loads it — which is exactly the moment a freespool reel is used.
What is the drag?
Front drag. The German feature line reads « Vorder Ziehen Sie Die », which is a translation failure rather than a specification — no drag force is published anywhere in the listing.
Who this one is for
Someone who wants the named Daiwa systems and already knows what a 4000 weighs
Accessories confirmed to fit
Listed because the accessory itself names this model as compatible.
A reference exists on these Amazon stores: France, Germany, Spain, United Kingdom, United States. Listed is not the same as in stock — availability changes daily.

Size 4000 · graphite body and rotor · 2+1 carbon steel bearings · high-tech graphite spool pre-spooled with black and green mono · graphite spare spool · machine-cut pinion · oversized aluminium bail · graphite handle with an ABS knob
Two spools, a machine-cut pinion, and a German feature line that calls the free spool a swimming pool.
Best for: Feeder fishing where a second spool and ready-spooled line are worth more than a spec sheet
