Is there not a difference in line retrieval between the 14000 and the 5500?

So what sort of rod would you start using a 14000 reel on then? I presumed the general consensous was a 12 ft rod and upwards

Ci4+ 5500 or Ci4+ 14000 on a Shimano Tribal 12ft 3lb tc rod?

I was looking to upgrade from my Shimano 8000 baitrunners to something bigger, and was looking at the ci4+ 14000 xtc but someone said about the 5500 version but couldnt see much difference in size between the 5500 and my existing 8000 baitrunners.

I have Shimano Tribal 12ft 3lb TC rods

i wasnt even aware of the century carbon stealth, looks a proper bit of kit that. Ive been trying to pursuade myself to take the plunge for the Solar P1 but liking the look of this century one

are you pleased you went with the 14000's and not the 5500's? Do you use them for alot of distance fishing?

I had pretty much decided on buying the Ci4+ 14000 XTC but went into the tackle shop to have a final look at them and the young bloke in there was saying why bother with getting a 14000 spool just buy the Ci4+ 5500 XTC if i dont do loads of distance fishing. Or even buy the Ultegra 5500 XTD that are cheaper and upgrade the washers to give it a quicker front drag?
Are you sure?
