HAHA Ci4's even ....... looking for some new Ci4's for Harrison Torrix .(40mm) I'm after 3 and was originally thinking the 1400 Ci4 but a couple of users have complained about line getting under the guard and there are loads of nearly new for sale 2nd hand . I have some older XSA 10,000's Ci4 and never had an issue has anyone else suffered this problem with the 14000 ... it maybe I'll go for the smaller 5500 Ci4s instead do they have the same issue with them if true or are the smaller a better option anyway ... thanks for any replies...

hahaha just gone back some posts and found a chasing chunks review he confirmed line guard issues on 1400 ... so the question is now is it the same issue on the 5500's IF so do you use and highly recommend for around £200 a reel.. happy to go used ...

I was very impressed with the Daiwa Emblem 35 SCW and 45 SCW reels, both available in your price range felt really well made in hand. Quite a big reel though due to the 45mm spool so may need to view in hand before purchase.

I have the daiwa emblem 35scw. I actually really rate them especially for the price, you can get them for about £109 currently at total fishing tackle.
Others on here have said they have had trouble with the line getting caught behind the spool or line guard. Not to say they haven't but personally haven't had these issues.
They are a lot of reel for the price in my opinion. Worth a look at deffinetly.

Why do you want to change!

I've got Ci4 5500 XTB's and have never experienced any problems with line going behind the guard since I took notice of Shimano's advice not to overfill the spools. It's exactly the same with the 1400 size.

I'm keeping the pair of 10000 XSA I've never had a problem with them great reels .. IF I could get a 3rd I'd be interested they are on my pair with 50mm rings.. but fancy something a bit smaller for the 40mm ... I have a pair of 5500 xtb but again need a 3rd which I guess is cheaper and readily available for £100 but really like the Ci4 so 5500 now seems a great option.. over filling them definitely would explain the line under the spools with the 1400's ..

not seen 1 for a long time to be honest but I'll keep my eyes open... a set of 3 went for £750 on another site last week..

I also use the 5500 ci4's on my softer rods and haven't suffered any issues with line going behind the spool

Yes, the 5500's have these issues. Been back to the store once and they gave me new line guard cause the old one snapped on me the first time out last summer. Store said it was a common issue and he had loads of spare guards.
