Reel specs discrepancies
Apparently, this is an issue:

Anyone ever encounter this? I know my new Procyon doesn't match up to what it says on the box. I feel a bit cheated.

RE: Reel specs discrepancies
Well, when my Procyon 4000SH is listed as 11.6oz on Daiwa's website (and everywhere else!) but on the box it says 14.4oz...and it FEELS like 14.4oz...that is a big issue...

So much so that I want to return that reel (even at the expense of already paying $34 in custom fees!)...for that weight, I could have gotten other better all metal reels...instead of a half metal reel...and the quality isn't all that up to as advertised...

RE: Reel specs discrepancies
I've read complaints recently on other sites concerning other manufacturer's reels and tackle - where the packaging says "Made in USA" and the actual item's stickers say "Made in China".

Buyer beware.

See you on the river.
