Differences in spool notation between Shimano and Daiwa spinning reels

I believe many of you are familiar with how to read the specifications of Japanese Shimano and Daiwa reels.

Well, let’s take a look at two pictures.

One is Shimano’s Stella 4000 and the other is Daiwa’s Exist LT4000.

As you may know, both Shimano and Daiwa reels that use shallow spools have an S in their model names.

So, do you think that the two products you saw earlier that do not have an S in their model names are deep spools?

If so, you are wrong.

Shimano’s Stella 4000 has a deep spool, but Daiwa’s Exist LT4000 has a medium deep spool.

That is, there is a difference in that Shimano does not indicate anything on models that adopt a deep spool, and Daiwa does not indicate anything on products that adopt a medium deep spool.

 

So Shimano marks its models with medium deep spools with M, and Daiwa marks its models with deep spools with D.

The bottom line for today is that if there is no specification for Shimano and Daiwa reels, then Shimano is a deep spool product, while Daiwa is a medium deep spool product.
