Daiwa Saltiga 8000 (JDM): 8000-P vs 8000-H – Weight, Line Capacity & Specs

Daiwa Japan's 25 Saltiga spec table lists 2 sizes with 8000 in the code: 8000-P and 8000-H. All of them share the same spool and max drag figures (8000-P and 8000-H (63 mm dia. spool, 25 kg max drag, 670–680 g)). The suffix mainly changes the gear ratio: 8000-P 4.8:1, 8000-H 5.6:1.
