Anybody have both a 3000 and 2500 series CI4, or know if the 3000 series spool is just "wider" than the 2500 series spool, or is it simply thinner around the shaft to accommodate more line. I don't need the extra line capacity, but a wider spool has some advantages.

It's the same diameter, just deeper with a smaller arbor to accommodate more line.

Thanks man... appreciate it! Not worth the extra $20 for me.

The knob on the 2500 is smaller. Forgot about that difference. I doubt you'd notice when fishing.

Yep, saw the different knob. I would probably like it, but the current one doesn't bother me.

Thanks.
