I am ideally looking for a reel that is a little smaller than a 5500 shimano/Fox FX9 size reels .... (I think Daiwa 25a size is also similar). I already have Shimanio 4000 Exage and these a bit small so is there anything in between? .... I also already have 8000 size super baitrunners but are a bit heavy

I'd recommend Daiwa GS 4000's. Very nice little reels, for reasonable money.

Yeah I'd say these. I have SS2600 which I think are similar and they're ideal for shorter rods imo.

I have some exages in 5000, I think they also do a 6000 - not easy to find the bigger ones but they do exist

What do you want them for and what sort of price range?

i want them to go on a variety of rods inc 1.75lb & 2.25lb 11ft specimen/carp type rods and 10ft carp rods .... and something where the spare spools dont cost the earth ...

Your right,agree with you...if my titanos minis,weren't so good,good order I'd ave a set of those inception reels..

I'm a pin man,had,got,used very expensive centrepin reels,my fave reel by far is the Okuma Sheffield, awesome bearing reel..

Will never part with it..
