these ones
They do have movement but I think a small nylon washer with a couple mm hole should do the trick because there is still some damage to line when I'm testing them out and its definitely due to the original hole.

Don't think they look too good, still see the original hole?

That's all Daiwas fault, putting 17th century line clips on 20th century reels, ffs
Anyway, functionality over tartiness

I changed to the 6000's. Just because I prefer a larger reel and crank power. Come with a tapered spool and a proper line clip. 👍

Doesn't the emblem spod reel have a small plastic shield behind the dog tooth line clip? Maybe that's available as a spare?

The retrieve is so much slower than a 5000, Daiwa took their eye off the ball with that one

Makes you feel like you have cast to the moon when you wind in though!
To be honest I've never really noticed a huge difference between the two, maybe because I use 6000T for longer range than 5000T so expect to take longer winding in.
What are the specs?
I know the gearing is different to increase torque on the 6000T. Let's not forget that these were not designed for English still waters, so doubt they were even considering a carp ‘ball' to keep an eye on.

Specs pretty much same I think , extra ball bearing in 6000t and obviously comes with a real line clip. Retrieve I think its 75-80 cm for both, not sure exactly , 5000t is better though

The retrieve is the spec I was talking about. I know the gearing is different but don't know the exact retrieve figures.
Had both 6000T and 5000T for years, wouldn't say one is better than the other but they are better suited to different set ups.
