shimano 4000D versus Shimano 5000Xtea

I have both models mentioned above and love both of them. The xtea can also cope with a bash of carp fishing from March to June easily.

Not sure what you're all doing with your bail arms. I always thought you opened them to cast, then closed them shortly after and mind your fingers when you turn the handle!!! No problems here.
