Daiwa Saltiga Z4500 Spool mix and match

[Strikes]

Hi kakis,

I am wondering whether Catalina 4500 or 4500H or Blast 4500 spool can be use in my Saltiga Z4500 reel?

Also, how much is a brand new Saltiga Z4500 spool and where can i get it? I am also interested in getting the Original Daiwa Aluminium Power Knob for my Z4500. Where can i get it from Beach Road?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Wee

CW, the original jigging knob is about $80-90. The lighter "air knob" is about $110 (+/- $10). The spools for Catalina/Z/Blast can all be interchanged. I can lend you my Blast 4500 spool for the trip. Just come and pick it up anytime you want

Hi Mikey,

Thanks a lot. I will pick it up from you somewhere around mid of Jan. Now kind of busy in work and domestic.

Regarding the air knob, apart from the reduction in weight as compared to the original jigging knob, what are the strong points in getting it? It seems to be part of Saltiga EXP package. Moreover, there are a number of imitations in the market replicating the air knob. I have reservations in getting that.

Dude, to be honest I'm not a big fan of the original air knob. Prefer the GT Max sold by AO. Feels more comfy to hold, about half the price of a Daiwa IZE and probaly as light (if not lighter)
