These were improved and re-released as the 3500B in the USA. I bought a pair of them last year in Florida. They are now out of production again but you can probably still get them easier than the 4500 - most of which will be knackered by now. Thinking about it - I might have a pair somewhere... ?
I just fancy a old set to go on my carp rods, im looking at the 4500 as they are just a nice size for mid range work. Its just waiting to find a decent set
I have been, all the ones in america are had it, parts are hard to get for the originals. I may have located a set of 4500 x's that have had very little use.
Our friends are cleaning out and listing old gear that has not ever been used - I know that he has a couple of old sea spin 4500s - I think they are on ebay as no one wanted them on craigslist
