Offering my pampered baby, long casting, and magnificent Daiwa EMBLEM® PRO-A SURF reel (EMP-6000). This fine reel was mounted to a Conoflex two-piece carbon fiber 11-foot custom rod (not included in this auction,) that sent 3-ounce bomb sinker 400 feet on average with a head-wind. If you know, then you know about this Daiwa reel.
Do I have to explain the benefits of the magnificent, expensive, and awesome Daiwa QD-5000 tournament quick-drag (1/4 turn) spool that is included with this reel, or the two spare spools that give you maximum flexibility for monofilament, or any line that you choose to fish?
The QD-5000 Tournament spool accepts special chemical light sticks that clip-in and illuminate the three starlight
holes on the spool's base outer diameter for night carp fishing. If you turn the drag knob a 1/4 of a turn to full compression, you are ready for a cast with no spool slippage, then when done, a 1/4 turn in the opposite direction puts you back to the pre-set drag torque you previously determined with your process for doing so (scale pull. etc). How convenient is that? It's a game changer. plus the spool is rare so it's bling all the way.
The QD-5000 is spooled with 300 yards of fresh 65-pound SpiderWire. This spool had to be imported from Japan at a cost of $175.00 all inclusive. A rare gem, and a most useful addition to the reel.
I am selling this reel after mastering my 14-foot Century Pro Excalibur with a Shimano 700B baitcaster (not included in this auction,) which hurls heavy tin lures over 500 feet on average.
Shipping is USPS Priority Mail Large Flat Rate Box, insured, with signature confirmation mandatory. International shipping is also USPS Priority Mail International (sorry that it is has to be so expensive). Five pounds includes everything pictured plus sufficient padding and armoring. All sales are final.
Thank you. Below please find additional reading material related to this reel:
The Daiwa Emblem Pro is a bold reel appearance wise. It has a very attractive black/chrome finish emblazoned with the new Daiwa logo. It’s pretty big, and the tapered spool adds to its bulky look. But when you pick it up you can feel what a well-tuned machine it is. The size does serve a purpose which is accommodating large gears for lots of power. This reel is rated with a maximum drag of just over 35 pounds of drag pressure to stop big fish. It’s no wonder this reel is becoming a fast favorite of surf casters.
The Emblem Pro also has a manual bail system to eliminate any premature bail closings while casting. This is a common problem with surf casters who put a lot of power behind their casts for maximum distance. The manual bail system provides a reliable method that will save you the frustration of lost plugs and baits. The reel handle has a very smooth feel when cranked, and the gearing is quite evident while rotating. Daiwa uses four corrosion resistant ball bearings on this model, which contributes to the smooth operation of the reel. The anti-reverse system is engaged full time on this reel, with no switch to turn it on and off, which is one less thing to go wrong. The spool of this reel is designed with long-distance casting in mind.
The longer tapered design allows the line to be wrapped on the spool in larger and smoother coils. When a lure is cast, the line comes off the spool with much less friction than from a standard spool design. Less friction during the cast translates into more distance. With distance comes the need for high line capacities, which these reels have. The EMP5000a will accommodate 240 yards of 20lb test monofilament while the EMP6000a will hold 230 yards of 30lb test. With spools of this size, the amount of thinner diameter braided lines that can be spooled onto these reels is very adequate. It will be very interesting to see how this reel performs in the field.
