Aluminum spinning reel with 14 sealed ball bearings for smooth, corrosion-resistant performance in fresh and saltwater.
The Diwa 4000 is a blue aluminum spinning reel with an ultra-thin body and a 5:1 gear ratio. It carries 14 stainless steel ball bearings, an anti-reverse system and an ambidextrous handle, at about 305 grams. It suits anglers who want one spinning reel for freshwater lakes and rivers or for light saltwater outings.
