Has anyone ever owned or used any of these reels, the concept sounds great, but I wanna see some reviews on it.
Just an average fisherman.
I had the DH 5000. It was a little heavier than I thought it would have been, but that wasn't big a problem.
It was going to be matched it up with my travel rod but it didn't have the drag I wanted so I sold it and got a Fin-Nor FS60.
I caught some pike on that wavespin to try it out. It was smooth and handled the pike no problem. I just wanted a little more drag for saltwater.
One last thing, I put braid on it and never had a bird's nest! So I guess that rim design works!
What kind of drag does it push?
Just an average fisherman.
Amazing amount of drag. Sick reels. these reels put a whole new meaning to a "mickey mouse reel" and you will never guess who makes them.

I stumbled acrossed the website. Reels are very unique.
The website doesnt give enough information about them.
What type of drag does the 3000, 4000 series push, how many lbs?
Are the made for saltwater?
I'm interested in them please respond

Good Day,
There are six tabs across the top of our home page, 5 are information
that should cover just about everything. But lets address your concerns;
WaveSpin Reels are the official reels of Walt Disney World's Guided Fishing Excursion's; Disney
takes anywhere between 45,000 and 60,000 guests a year fishing and Disney insist on only using products
that perform and don't fail. Disney does not appreciate there guests having problems as you might imagine.
WaveSpin Reels has won Field & Streams Best of The Best Award, FLW's Best in Value Award, Tackle Tours
Innovation Award, and many other accolades. WaveSpin are top award winning reels and have even received the
North America Fishing Clubs Seal of Approval after months of testing by 80 of their members.
NOW AS TO YOUR QUESTIONS:
WaveSpin Drags are the smoothest and strongest on the market. They are 10 disc systems where most brands
are 4-6. Our drags produce crazy amounts of tension without lock-up. The 3000 sizes produce up to 32lbs of tension where
most brands produce about 11 in a reel this size. Our 4000 size is capable of up to 45 lbs and the DH 5000 a whopping 55lbs.
Our drags and the lubricant used are Trademarked and although the drag materials themselves have been used in reels
for years we are the only company allowed to use our lubricant which is also made by us.
As for saltwater; we have no reel model designed explicitly for saltwater such as a surf reel, at least not yet. But
five of our model are built entirely of double shielded stainless bearings and are saltwater ready. Those models are
the ZTR 1500, ZTR 3000, DH 3000z, DH 4000z and DHxL.
I hope this has helped answer your questions, if you should have more then don't hesitate to ask.
Tight Lines,
Russ

55 pounds of drag! That seems unrealistic to me. I cranked the drag and tied the line to my fence and walked backwards. There was no problem. My 3 piece 8-17 pound rod didn't snap and neither did the 20 lb braid. Even if that braid is heavier than it says on the box, under 55 pounds of drag that would've snapped.
I'll get my buddy who bought the reel from me to come over with it and we'll set up a scale and see if it does have 55 pounds of drag. If it does I guess I should have kept it instead of buying the fin-nor

pm me when this takes place if it pushes close to those numbers im buying one.
I think im getting the 4000z if your old one pushed 50 lbs of drag im getting the 4000 lol
seems like a sweet ass reel. I've been talking back and forth with the owner since last night. im convinced on the reel.
That would be pretty sweet if it got close to 55 pounds.
When I first saw it, it was advertised as a freshwater reel. That's another reason why I didn't think it could get that much drag. But I've been wrong before.
Post results on here and more info on here. Thanks
Just an average fisherman.
buy my US reel so i can find out what the drag is on the 4000z
The only way that a spinning reel can go over 30lb drag is to have ANOTHER SET of drag underneath the spool. In other words, one set of drag on top of the spool, another underneath. Physically there is NO ROOM to pack so many layers of drag on top, to produce that much of a drag, not to mention - these reels are WAY to small to even go near to 25lb drag as is.
Also, i would be very concerned about the anodized process on these reels, since - as stated - only the bearings have stainless steel - which even now is unknown - what grade? 306? - For saltwater reels, in recent years, the Type-II anodizing, 6061-T6 (airplane grade aluminum) and the 306 stainless steel is used to resist against continuous saltwater spray. All thous materials are not cheap either, that's also the reason why reels for saltwater go way over $100 - nothing less then that, unless used.
P.S. There is a big difference between "Saltwater Ready" and "Saltwater Proof".

You nailed it right on the head... I havent thought about it much. I would love to see abreak down of the reel. The president of the company claims the reel pushes those numbers.. If it doesnt and i purchase one that's a law suit waiting to happen. "false advertisement"

@Boghy, I'm not sure of the company but I have seen a spinning reel with drag pushing outwards on the bottom of the spool on a traction type grip, with both top and bottom washers and that thing pushed a lot of drag. Also, I bought my penn sargus for $90 brand new and it is saltwater tough, I have beaten up that reel and caught several fish on it that burn locked drag (21lbs) and it still runs smooth as hell.
@rippinlipsoff; you don't have a well structured lawsuit on your hands because they never advertised any of the information that you have. You can try to sue a "Walt-Disney" sponsored company

I have an email coming from the "president" of the company that handles the reel line up stating that they push the drag that was stated in this posting.

I'll have it this week.
