Certate Hyper 4000 RCS spool- capacity?
Submitted by Quobbarockhopper on Wed, 2012-03-21 18:28
Hi all.
Just bought a Hyper 4000. Love the reel, cant wait to use it, but just mildly concerned about the seemingly shallow spool... Am looking at an RCS spool. Was wondering if anyone knew the difference in capacity they provide for the 4000? have had quick search on the net but struggling to find any definate details so thought Id ask the experts....
Also, does this spool increase the drag at all? if so, how much
Does anyone have any reccomendations on other brands of aftermarket spools that would give the most capacity?
have found this one, but it looks a bit dodgy....
Cant wait to take the reel back up the Carnarvon in a couple of weeks and give it a good working out...!
Cheers guys

I assume you have one of the
I assume you have one of the PE versions (shallower spool, faster retreive, red accents) rather than the standard one(full spool, gold accents)?
Daiwa do a 3500 and possibly 4000 RCS spools which won't hold more than the PE versions. So your option in daiwa is either a cheaper 4000 sized one (remember the drag will be different), or see if you can get a spare part certate 4000 non-PE spool from daiwa, or go SOM/JM/etc aftermarket if they make that size.

Thanks guys
cheers for the info all
hlokk- yep, its the PE version.
Can anyone confirm the standard hyper and the PE have the same drag? If so, will definately be chasing one up.
Sam: now I know who you are... haha.
Flanges: whats your email address mate? Ive sent you a PM but am having issues issues with the PMs on this site lately.
Again, thanks boys!

I have a Hyper Custom and
I have a Hyper Custom and using YGK PE2 (32lbs) I got the full 300m spool and about 50m of Powerpro 30lbs as backing.The SOM (Studio Ocean Mark) is about the best upgrade you'll get but if you get an RCS or standard one, upgrade the drag washers for Carbontex ones, either buy a sheet from below and make your own or buy a premade set (they are the same size as a 3000 drag washer)

You'll get a heap of washers out of a sheet.
I tested my drag and it went from the 7 kilo standard to around 11 kilo and was more than I thought I'd need now but it's nice to have that extra reserve and I've had to use it to stop some GT and fish robbing sharks.
