@teammusky7469 It would. Depends on the scenario. If the GT had structure close by, it would be challenging. If you were in open water with the right rod, yes, this Stella would manage it.

@@angelrodriguezsantana773 I'll make some

@BallinRiceBowl Gorgeous combo. And still holding it's finish to this day. I have the 6000 in this video and a 14k.

@@somerville94 Thanks. That's a Daiwa Proteus conventional. Acid wrapped guides. Medium Heavy. Love that rod.

@@ScottMikles thank you ! Keep up the good work 🤙🏼

Как называется модель вашей яхты?

@@raider6atv They could care less. Redfish will do things like that. Sharks will pick it up with a massive hook hanging out of it, obvious wire, and an 8 oz anchor holding it down. They're savages lol I've caught real small ones up to over 7 footers on that setup. It's golden. Welcome.

I do have a fishfinder/GPS. I have a Lowrance Hook 7" unit set up on my kayak. So that makes it easy.

@@ScottMikles I need to grab one. We’re headed down to Destin in May. Thanks for the reply and intel 👌🏼

@zacharyscott9146 You're welcome. It'll be well worth it to get one. There are tons of artificial reefs that are kayak distance down the coast here. From Santa Rosa Beach all the way to Navarre. In Navarre, there's a cluster of 26 of them all spaced out about 500 ft apart.

Sweet. Do you download maps that include the reefs or do you type in coordinates from the website and save them to your GPS?

@@zacharyscott9146 You can find them online in different places depending on which area you're looking for them in. Then I'll make sure they're the correct coordinate format and create the waypoint on my Lowrance.

It doesn't have any play. And I do despise any play in my reels. When asked to compare the Saltiga and Stella I always say the Saltiga does feel more sturdy or heavy duty. Both have been great with no issues so far. Knock on wood.

Lol I can feel the excitement. Few things better than taking a brand new rod and reel to slay some fish. Congrats on the combo, good luck!

@ScottMikles thanks, man. It's even worse because I bought the rod last year, and they're awesomely sensitive... but I accidentally snapped the tip on a 4 lb bass (not a bad a way to go, though) a week before opener. Warranty replaced it.. so I technically had the rod since last year and have yet to actually trout with it lol.

@@ScottMikles btw, thanks for the video! Even though it's older. I came here specifically to confirm the drag capacity because I run 4lb trout s.o.s. when trouting.

@Eclipse1988 You're welcome, glad it helped you out. The Stradic 1000 is a sick reel. You'll be happy you got it.

@ScottMikles heard they're 200 bucks, but the new model is only a different color or some bullshit, so my shop was blowing out these things for 149 lol. I knew what I was looking at and couldn't say no. Today was splurge day before opener lol. Cheers!!

A reel with this much line capacity and drag is bordering on overkill for that unless you want to target sharks, then it's a great option. A smaller model like a 6000 will keep it more sporty for anything besides sharks.

@@ScottMikles The reason I was thinking of the 10K size is due to the mono capacity. I probably can't sling a surf rod a 100 yards but still the smaller reels so even if I could that would leave about 170 yards. I guess that would be enough. What does the D-H stand for on the 6K? I noticed the 10K doesn't have a D

@311hitwall Deep spool, High Gear. You will have much less capacity with mono, so bigger size may be the move.

I was also looking at the Saltist and it must be a mistake on the Daiwa site. The 14k for the Saltist shows that it weighs less than the 10k??

Yeah, that's what fishing from the beach is called. Where the waves meet the beach is the "surf".

@@ScottMikles Should have elaborated. Trying to find a spinning reel for surf fishing. Debating on what to spend for a reel but Saltist MQ is my starting point.

Lol exactly how it feels

A MH Daiwa Proteus boat rod is money on my 6000

@@ScottMikles Thanks!! I just realized you’re by me 😂 I’m in Fort Walton ! Awesome channel man!

@greglopez4853 No problem, you'll love it. That's funny man. Thanks, I really appreciate it.
