The new Saragosa 5000 and 6000 reels are almost the same frame size as the older 4000 Stradics. Better metal, sealed bearings, the 5 and 6 have bigger spools but are not inter-changeable.  They are both a good bit heavier than the Stradic. Off topic, was on a pier at OBX, about 7 guys fishing heavy casting reels drum fishing. A wind surfer stormed the pier while his girlfriend filmed.  He had many hooks embedded in his wet suit and skin. Everybody got spooled and sprinted to cut their lines. The young guy was either too hurt or humiliated to come north after beaching, but sent his girlfriend back and paid everybody for new braid. Felt bad for him, he learned a hard lesson.</blockquote>
