The size number, and what it means in line · review
Every figure a reel is bought on, published — including the retrieve per turn.
The bottom line Every figure a reel is bought on, including the retrieve per turn — the one on this shelf you can actually match to a rod before it arrives.
Six figures. Four reels on this shelf publish one or none.
A size number is meaningless without a diameter. This listing gives the pair: 150 m of 0,28 mm. Fill the same spool with 0,35 mm and it holds appreciably less — which is the arithmetic every buyer of a reel should do and almost no listing makes possible.
Spain 60,00 €, Germany, France and Italy 67,50 €, Britain 68,49 €, United States 87,00 €. Confirmed in all six.
Read on the day this page was built: 60 € to 68 € at the German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon shops.
Priced in another currency: the American and British Amazon shops sell it outside the euro, so the range above excludes it.

The line the reel recovers for one full turn of the handle. It is the figure that translates a 5,2:1 ratio into something usable, and only two reels on this shelf publish it.
It is the highest published on this shelf — the next is 8 kg and the lowest is 4 kg. What matters is that it is stated at all: most reels here give no drag figure.
It buys smoothness, not life. A reel with four good bearings and a hard main gear outlasts one with eight and a soft pinion, and no listing describes the gear.
A general-purpose 4000 for lure and feeder work, where the drag figure matters
