I was looking at getting a 4500 Catalina off Digitaka, but then I saw the 5000 is only 15 grams heavier. So, was wondering if anyone could answer my question which is.. Are the 5000 reels the same size as the 4500 with a deeper spool to hold more line? Or is it bigger? If so, how much bigger?

Exchange rate at the moment makes the 4500 $634.11 & the 5000 $644.02

Just noticed your selling a 4500 catalina and a Stella 8000. Why not just just keep those?

Reel was sent out on Monday from Digitaka and it just arrived now. That's pretty fast I think!
