2500Size 2500 — spool ø45 mm
3000Size 3000 — spool ø48 mm
4000Size 4000 — spool ø51 mm
5000Size 5000 — spool ø54 mm
6000Size 6000 — spool ø57 mm
Spool: line capacity (depth)
(none)Standard spool 標準
DDeep spool (more line capacity) 深溝
SShallow spool 浅溝
SSSuper-shallow spool 超浅溝
SSSUltra-shallow spool 超々浅溝

(none)Standard body
CCompact body (one size smaller body on this spool)
(none)Standard gear (ratio 5.0–5.4)
HHigh gear (ratio 5.5–5.9)
