    This is actually a pretty good reel. Most spinning ball bearings are the same size and I have took some BBs from my broken reels and put them in the Cross Fire and it does make a difference in how solid it feels.

    I was thinking about upgrading my son with the crossfire from the 6'6" G-Shock 2500 to 7'0 crossfire 3000 here in Humboldt county CA ware we fish for anything from trout steelhead to 25 pound salmon. I just made up my mind this crossfire really felt good in the shop and sounds like it will hold up for him tell he gets a little bigger and probably put some good memories in the family photo album thanks for the info

    What size would you recommend either 3000 or 4000 for fishing off shore casting lures 15-40g in England

    • @finnafishfl
      @finnafishfl  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Not sure the game you'll be after, maybe seabass? If so, those sizes would be perfect. If you come into really strong fish that need a ton of drag, the crossfire might not be a good option. Like here we have grouper and snapper offshore, I wouldn't use it for those but for some seatrout or game under 15lbs I would. Just make sure you have over a hundred yards (not sure in meters but very close) of the line you want to use and that should be the right size for you. I'm sure both 3000 and 4000 would work. Make sure you clean your reel well after salt!

    Do you know how strong the drag is ?
    Daiwa pretends it s 10 kilos , wich is around 22 pounds but i think they over estimate it.

Saying I use something somewhere isn't the same as saying "I'm using something somewhere." There are no words in the title indicating I'm using it in the video. That's just you wrongly assuming I would. Anyways look at the thumbnail, it's in my room, another thing that makes it obviously not a fishing video. Unless you thought I would be fishing in my aquarium which with your assumptions shouldnt be out of the question. I have plenty of videos using it in saltwater on my channel if you'd like to watch that.
