stradic 5000 v sustain 5000 for gomoku pe1-3

hi, after opinions on a reel for a gomoku pe1-3 (spinning). Thinking either stradic 5000 or sustain 5000 with probably around 20-30lb line. Both seem to have the same specs/weight etc except for the number of bearings. What are peoples thoughts or any other sugestions for this rod?

Size?

Is a 5000 a little large for the rod?  I have a 4000 Ci4+ on mine and it is nicely balanced.

4000 and 5000 seem to be same size and weight just different spool capacity.  ci4 would be lighter though. Guys at Ocean Side said 5000 would probably be the size to go

 Pretty sure there not the same size. I've got a 4000 sustain on my mytho. It holds 300m of pe2 35lb. Has caught loads of fish. How big did you want it? 5000 seems excessive.
