Gotta laugh at the
Gotta laugh at the "Arutimettotonamentodoragu". (say it out loud)
A 5000 size would be interesting. The 4500 just didnt quite hold enough line for what i wanted despite being fine in all the other aspects.

There has always been a 5000
There has always been a 5000 Saltiga as far as im aware.
Same size body as the 6000 and 6500 models, Just a smaller spool.

Yeah, it has the pumped drag
Yeah, it has the pumped up drag from the bigger reels as well.
Unsure if there is SOM spool or the like for more capacity on the 4500 body.

Havent seen them in
Havent seen them in Australia. Maybe JDM models only? Or just really rare here?
Was hoping the 5000 would be 4500 + a bit of spool capacity. Why would you want a 6000 with a 5000 sized capacity? Until they make a satiga that doesnt weigh 800g+ and can hold 300m of PE5, or even PE4, I wont get one. Damn you daiwa (ah, well, their loss :p)

Hold on RobC
It has to be a bit of both IMO. You wouldnt drive a crap looking car with all the grunt in the world, compared with a hot looking car with a little less. That is why supercars have to look hot or beastly to attract people in the first place.
The developers spend their time making the car look impressive, and then put in the power.
No ugly fantastic reel is going to sell aswell as a nice fantastic reel.
JMO.

ie Im with you CamC, but I love my Shimanos more than Diawa.
