- At 1060 g, the 30000-P is the second-lightest of the 3 30000-size spinning reel models we list.
- Gear ratios run from 4.4:1 to 6.2:1; the fastest, 14000-XH, takes in 133 cm (52 in) of line per handle turn.
- Max drag ranges from 25 kg to 30 kg (55.1 lb to 66.1 lb).

- In plain words: MONOCOQUE BODY — one-piece body with a plate screwed directly into it instead of a screwed-on body cover, for stiffer gear support and better sealing.
