Daiwa - 23 MATCHMAN 4000

The 2500 is perfect for light feeder and most float work. The next size up, the 3000 is the most versatile. Still suited a variety of float work, such as pellet waggler fishing, it will handle all but the toughest of feeder challenges.

For outright feeder work, especially where power and a degree of distance is expected the 4000 is bang on. With a ratio of 5.3:1 it will crank back 95cm in one handle turn.

The UTD drag also offers responsive control, with a wide range of adjustment ensuring you can set it just right for set up and fish action you are expecting. If back winding is preferred then the Infinite Anti-Reverse is easily disengaged via the lever on the underside, behind the rotor.

All models will perfectly partner any of the Matchman float or feeder rods and thanks to the folding handle they are also well suited to any ‘pre-set up’ for rapid assembly. Each also feature a DS4 carbon composite body and rotor as well as 3BB, Digigear 2, Twistbuster and a T grip handle knob.
