    Default Just a little something-2


    Hi all! Just received a Shimano spare spool from Poland, where it took literally a month to get here…lol. Anyhow I hope the purchase of this Shimano ci4+ c2000s spool will accomplish 3 things. The first and foremost, the convenience of swapping out different lines (ester line vs braid) therefore getting me this much closer to true JDM nirvana…lol. The other is the bling factor, seen here matching up with the Real Finesse. Lastly the Shimano ci4+ reels are one of the lightest ever created for saltwater fishermen and I hope to lose a few grams, 10 to be exact, using it with my 1000 size Stella body. Here are some pictures!

    I would think so at this point, DSJ. It’s even lighter than Shimano current 2000 size for a flagship all metal reel. And it’s got 14 bearings vs 13 of the 2022 Stella. Thanks for chiming in!

    MtnFisher, the Ci4+ have large followers in the saltwater community but more so in Australia, surprisingly to me. However not all Shimano reel spools are interchangeable especially different year model, the spool configuration, etc. I took chance with the Ci4+ c2000s base on the fact its a non-long spool in design same as my 2014 Stella FI spool, not to mention I like to have a red color spool in good price. Thank goodness it fits. Cheers!
