Hi, i am newbie to this forum. To answer your is the daiwa japan offical website have a different weight of the 4000H of saltiga, but Line Per
Handle Turn is same. If you want warranty for the reel, America series is more suitable for you.....I think. :):) Some reel's model has different style,color and spec....such as bait casting model of saltiga http://all.daiwa21.com/fishing/item/...iga/index.html

I hope it can help you to figure out which best for you....:cheers1:

The Japanese versions are better, not just the saltigas. America gets the scraps. If you can buy Japanese, then do it.

Jap reels
 
From what I've learned about jap reels they are built with a finer tooth gear system resulting in much smoother operation. As well as finer gear mesh they the best ceramic bearings they can find. A bass fishing buddy of mine has three of the curado equivelents and they are unreal, but he only runs them when he is fresh water LMB fishing.

That would be the shimano scorpion, and yes they are much nicer than the curados, I own 2.

Jap

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


Jap is an English abbreviation of the word "Japanese." Today it is generally regarded as an ethnic slur among Japanese minority populations in other countries, although English-speaking countries differ in the degree to which they consider the term offensive. In the United States, Japanese Americans have come to find the term controversial or offensive, even when used as an abbreviation.<sup id="cite_ref-jref_1-0" class="reference"></sup> In the past, Jap was not considered primarily offensive; however, during and after the events of World War II, the term became derogatory.<sup id="cite_ref-Fussell_2-0" class="reference"></sup>

I guess we just all have to watch what we say nowadays. I'm sure you meant nothing by it. See you on the water!
