Chippie81 Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Hi all. A friend of mine is looking for a bit of help or information on Shimano reels. He has 2 4500B reels and was looking to buy a 3rd but the no longer sell them. Does anyone know what they replaced it with. Trying to get as close match as possible without having to replace the other 2. Also can anyone recommend a Shimano reel that’s good for surface fishing?

salokcinnodrog Posted April 23, 2018 Report Share Posted April 23, 2018 Hmm! What 4500's? I think there were a couple, although probably first choice was Baitrunner Aero 4500 Gte, replaced by 8010, later model I think is now St8000 or DL8000. The ST range are black, DL, next range up are dark blue. I use my ST 4000 for surface fishing, or even one of my DL10000's, depends on venue. The ST Aero is not new, over 10 years now. You could use a modern baitrunner, ST4000, 6000 or whatever you fancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I know they have a gold spole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
