Instead of using tape on your spool tie whatever slip knot you use uni knowlt whatever then half hitch the spool from the top and again from the bottom so another two half hitches over the spool. Works a treat and no need to have sticky residue on your spool.
I don't need another reel but I would give it to my nephew who has been getting into fishing and coming along as a fine angler for a young kid, he has the ability to work out what works and what doesn't on a particular day. Good video as always.
@@ByronTeaHill no worries mate. Love ya work and I'm mad about fishing. Yep I was shocked when I realised it was 11years old. I bought it when my middle daughter was born. Haha. Keen on supporting the channel mate. Keep up the great work.
Thanks mate for the opportunity to win this reel , I'd put it on one of my infeet's for bream and bass. Looking forward to meeting you at Forster this Weekend.👍
Love Daiwa LT. I bought the Legalis LT 2500. Use it in one outing. Come back the next day to the shop. Buy the legalis 3000. Cos my wife end up liking my legalis 2500. Now the two of us are using Daiwa LT. She love it to. I'm happy if i catch any fish. On your reel. Cos must of the time I'm only getting a big 🍩. Nice video always helping me out on the tips and tricks. love watching you 😁
Great video Byron. Would love to catch some big Tassie Bream on the new Freams, coming up to winter they’ll start schooling and going up river which will be awesome fun. 🔥👍
Already sorted for a bream set up, this would go towards my Croc hunter setup, chasing fatties on the kayak should test the corrosion resistant properties of this bad boy! Cheers for the great content and the opportunity!
would for sure be chasing nice flat head and bream in the swan, in need for a 2500 for the light gear setup so 🤞🤞, anyway great vid man and btw your rlly good at stucturing ur videos and doing really good and legit reviews on the products, keep doing what ur doing👍👍
Another great review ,looking forward to your next one .If I won the reel it would work well catching some local bream and squid in my local waterholes
Hey Byron, 2 things; 1) How would this compare to the shimano miravel for finesse fishing? 2) how would the freams pair with the base 20 infeet rods ($189)
Great vid byron. Kept me well entertained for a Monday smoko! Really enjoy your channel, so much detail and thought goes into them which shows. I'd use the new reel for whiting/bream targets. And give my older 1 to my mate who's got the fishing bug too. Hopefully the channel continues to build and go bigger. 🤙
Your channel has got me back into fishing and I'm also introducing my daughter to it as well. The possibility of catching quality fish on lures and soft plastics while extracting my daughters phone from her hands is quite exciting. I've also just bought a Pajero Sport and will be hitting Fraser, Moreton, Straddie in the next few years and hopefully catching a heap of fish. Thanks for a quality channel with great production and instruction.
That is awesome to hear Gary! good vehicle that one. I hope your daughter loves the sport - it's a bloody great pass time! appreciate your comment mate. thank you
Great video on the 2021 Daiwa Freams LT, I like the way you mentioned how well it pairs up with different rods in terms of balance and even price point. For me I would be using this reel to chase Swan River Tailors given the size of the reel and it's smoothness and corrosiveness properties as I will be flicking hardbodies all day long. It would be a reel that I think I would be using for many years, and for those fishers who would buy one, I think they would be keeping this reel for a while. The reel looks great and fishes well too.
Just picked up a Daiwa rod so this would be perfect as for the fish I'd be after Bonnie's as they are around at the moment. And as always sick video bud.
That's some sick footage Byron and a great vid. The freams would go hard on the bream and flatties, especially with that longer spool height to get maximal casting distance
Love your channel and love the Daiwa products but only have the lower end stuff at present. Would use the Freams to catch flathead and Bream as my fishing is all land based. Keep the great content coming.
Those were some nice Bream! I would probably use it to chase some flathead. Would love to see a more in depth vid about your line spooling methods and choices. Keep up the great work!
Awesome vid as usual bud! Been eyeing this lovely reel off since i got the new Daiwa bible, been planning on hitting my girls up on my birthday for one to chase that elusive meter flatty.
I like my flathead so I’d use the Daiwa Freams to grab a few crocs with the Daiwa double clutch or the Daiwa spike lures which are awesome. Daiwa lures are by far my favourite lures.
Great review Byron! The Freams looks like a very capable reel at its price point to tackle bream, flathead and all the other estuary species in between.
What a reel and that 1.6 can’t wait to see the story on it! Awesome vid again. If I won this it would be put to the test against Gold Coast winter bream!
As much as I’d like to have the reel for myself I think it’s only right to give it to the better half. She hasn’t been out for just over a year after having our first child. I’d say she would be itching to go and score a few bream thought
Nice reel, would definitely pair it up with my td zero rod😝, target breams and flatties using tt nedlocks and 2.5" daiwa grubs - my fail proof soft bait as their designed with grooves to hold on to scent longer. I like your vids as they are informative and fun to watch!!!😀
What a great looking reel, Daiwa is really stepping up the game at the enthusiast level. I would love to break my PB bream record and go beyond 40 cm with this
i would really love to get onto some really nice bream with this reel as it would replace my old legalis lt 2500. but most likely would use it most of the time for trout and reddies. my last trip on the bream was pretty hard on the old legalis fishing racks for big bream out of the kyak now shes pretty much cooked haha. this would be a sick reel to replace that... keep up the great work byron mate... yeeeww
Love the overview of the Freams, been saving up for a new spin reel and this freams would be such an honour to win! I fish mainly on the mid north coast of Sydney, I'd make it my permanent estuary reel targeting big bream and flathead dinner, id love to fight some rat kings on it too!
Few north Gippsland/far south coast bream and flat skulls, squid, small Jews, salmon, tailor, just about anything that swims in the estuaries. Great video as always Byron keep it up!
In the last 12mnths I have started In a Bream tournament so would definitely put it to good use chasing them, it would pair nicely with my Infeet which I love. Always loving the content, especially the giveaways who doesn’t love a giveaway😀 will we be seeing some fishing videos in the near future?
Would love to use this reel to flick plastics and hard bodies in Sydney harbour. Bream, flatties and Trevs would be the main fish but would also use it to give a go at Aust salmons and kings. Interested to compare this reel against Fuego and new Caldia.
Great video Byron, I would love to use this reel for flathead, bream and anything really, I would love to test the reel, paired with my Abu Garcia Veritas, on some larger fish such as kingfish and other big species 🤙
I’ve been waiting to upgrade my 2500 ci4+ and this looks like exactly what I’ve been waiting for. After snapping the tip off my 1-3kg rod maybe a infeet + freams combo will be great replacements. The 10kg of drag will definitely come in handy when one or the big sea run brown trouts takes the lure.
i would love to chase big whiting and flathead at my local Bribie Island, throw on the new 8lb tasline once it releases, havnt had much luck - hopefully a new reel will entise the fish! thanks for the opportunity to win, tight lines everyone 👍
Love my Daiwa gear. My Crossfire 200 reel with RZ 662 rod has caught me yellow belly, redfin, Murray cod in the freshwater and flathead, bream and even a 95cm jewie on my hobie in the Saltwater. Would love the new 2500 Daiwa fream to add to my reportoire 🙏
Another great review , I would definitely use it for my flathead outfit, been using Sedona for a few years now with no worries, keen to try daiwa reels,
Again nice vid Byron, and I agree with the spool comparison, I also get longer and more accurate casts in with the Daiwa range of reels. I mainly fish for bream all year round and would love to compare the Freams to the Caldia's that I have been using for a while now. :)
Hey Byron, I’d be chasing bream with this reel, but knowing my luck I would only pull whiting and flathead. Interesting, I have only just bought the Daiwa Kix LT 2500, now I’m wondering if I committed to the right reel? I’d love a review on bream rods valued between $180 and $240 if you’d think others would be interested?
I will use the freams to catch silver trevally, black bream, sand whiting, tailor, tarwhine, bartail and blue spot flathead, herring, snook, squid, cuttlefish and mulloway.
Hey Byron, Another informative review and I thought the "Daiwa" video was excellent. IMHO, the Freams model has always represented very good value for money. In this reel size, it would be combined into a lovely light spinning outfit when chasing those traditional estuary species (bream, flathead, pinkies etc.) particularly when matched with PE 0.6 or 0.8 braid.
Where I go it'll catch Bream, Flathead, EP's, Tailor & Whiting. Interested in how you think it compares to the Daiwa BG 2500 which is in the same price range. The BG is my favourite reel that I own and was my go to for the next reel (currently paired with an Infeet LRS).
Awesome video as usual. Just out of curiosity which Infeet Z rod is that reel paired up to? I have the 2000S Freams and have it paired to the base model Infeet (6101LFS) but want a bit more power on the lower part of the rod.
Some interesting points you made on the spool depth & height, will definitely keep that in mind. Another good review Byron and food for thought in that price range. I'd probably put some 10lb braid on it and chase some King George Whiting on SPs in the local bays.
Great review as always! The Freams would be perfect for Long casts over the flats for skittish whiting using unweighted soft plastics .... and then to hear the drag singing !!
The T handle on a 2500 appeals to me as my hand has slipped off the small knobs of other models at times. I’d used this for trout as well as bream. Cheers.
Great vid and what a bream... I would like to catch a jack on one and test out that 10kg drag. I bought an aird LT from Dawia and I was extremely impressed with it. Especially since it's a sub $100 reel.

It's like brand new still going strong.
This vid was awesome.

Bream, Flathead and Whiting. Love your vids Byron, very knowledgeable and helpful for a newbie like me, keep them coming. Thanks.
Nice review - thanks mate. Might surprise some but I'd use the Freams chasing Trevs...one of the best sport fish around I reckon!
Already sorted for a bream set up, this would go towards my Croc hunter setup, chasing fatties on the kayak should test the corrosion resistant properties of this bad boy!
Cheers for the great content and the opportunity!
Would love to see you do a review on the Luvias Airity...how much does Daiwa love you to give you one lol.
Just discovered your videos and have been binge watching all of them! I subbed, hope you keep pumping out great content like this! 🤙🏼
Welcome aboard!
Would love to use this for small topwater Sydney Kingys. Especially would be greatly suited to my recently purchased infeet. Love your vids! Cheers
would for sure be chasing nice flat head and bream in the swan, in need for a 2500 for the light gear setup so 🤞🤞, anyway great vid man and btw your rlly good at stucturing ur videos and doing really good and legit reviews on the products, keep doing what ur doing👍👍
Entered!
Sick video on the new freams 21 reel. Seems like it would be awesome to catch some bream with it or at least l would.
Another great review ,looking forward to your next one .If I won the reel it would work well catching some local bream and squid in my local waterholes
Another great video Byron! I would use to reel to target bream and other bread and butter species we have in Aus.
Hey Byron, 2 things;
1) How would this compare to the shimano miravel for finesse fishing?
2) how would the freams pair with the base 20 infeet rods ($189)

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the comment Brice
I”d use it on flathead and bream.
Another great review Byron
Hey man I just found your channel and subbed! I'd love to catch some walleye with the Freams! We don't have this model in North America!
Thanks for the sub dude! hope you enjoy some of the videos on the channel! Yeww

Bream all year with a giant herring workout over the next summer 🤠
Hell yeah! Such good information in your vids! I’d love to use it to get some lovely flatties, bream and done whiting up here in Qld!
You're in!
Hey Byron
Great review mate. I would be chucking it on my 8”6 hyper and chasing whiting if I won it.
Great review Byron! The Freams looks like a very capable reel at its price point to tackle bream, flathead and all the other estuary species in between.
Great video as always 👍 I target ballan wrasse, pollock and seabass here in the UK. All the best
What a reel and that 1.6 can’t wait to see the story on it!
Awesome vid again.
If I won this it would be put to the test against Gold Coast winter bream!
You inspired me for kayak fishing as well!! Thank you
Great video! I’d be aiming to catch a few nice hunter bass up in the dams.
As much as I’d like to have the reel for myself I think it’s only right to give it to the better half. She hasn’t been out for just over a year after having our first child. I’d say she would be itching to go and score a few bream thought
Mate I will be chasing some bream and flathead 🤙🤙 keep up the videos
Would love to chase some yellow fin bream with the Freams this winter with blades and vibes. keep up the great content loving it!
Love to catch a flathead.. definitely with a bait junkie 2.5 grub.. has to be camo, that colour slays early morning over here in WA
Nice reel, would definitely pair it up with my td zero rod😝, target breams and flatties using tt nedlocks and 2.5" daiwa grubs - my fail proof soft bait as their designed with grooves to hold on to scent longer. I like your vids as they are informative and fun to watch!!!😀
Bass year round and in spring/summer I'm going to be chasing threadfin salmon in the upper Brisbane river.
Cheers clinton
Good looking upgrades I have the old model this would be used for yellowbelly in the dams
Definitely will pair it up with my 20 TD Black Scratchy for snapper, flatty and bream.
What a great looking reel, Daiwa is really stepping up the game at the enthusiast level. I would love to break my PB bream record and go beyond 40 cm with this

Bream for sure!! Maybe even sneak in a couple mulloway down here 😋🤔
i would love to chase big whiting and flathead at my local Bribie Island, throw on the new 8lb tasline once it releases,
havnt had much luck - hopefully a new reel will entise the fish!
thanks for the opportunity to win, tight lines everyone 👍
Nice balanced review :-) In SA, the targets are Black Bream, Callop, Redfin and anything else that wants to give me some excitement.
I would love to use this reel for bream spooled with daiwa J-braid
Nice vid, I would use this reel chasing flathead, and bream!
love a silver reel! Would use this for bream and pinkies : ) a 2000 size will be nice on my 21 infeet!

Great video as always, I'd use it on flatty, Bream, snapper... basically anything I can get .. keep the videos coming 👍
Thanks! Will do!
Another great one Byron!! Would love to use this bad boy on some SEQ bass!!
Good luck!
Would love to chase down some Flathead or Bream on this reel. Nice info about the ergonomics, I have always been a bit unsure about the t-bar handle.
Bream with straight through FC on the shallow spool model 👍👍 great review Byron
Thanks mate. Entry is in
Hey mate! Would love to chase Melbourne EPs!!
Another great review bud. I would use the reel to catch a bream (because I need all the help I can get!) 😆
Hey Byron, I’d be chasing bream with this reel, but knowing my luck I would only pull whiting and flathead.

Bass, Bream, Taylor, Flathead, snapper, for sure.
Cheers again Byron.
Looks like a cracking reel I’d target Bream, flatties...and Redfin. The Daiwa Exceler is also an incredibly good reel for its price point.
Would be targeting mostly bream and flathead and occasionally whiting. Would make my year if I got it. Cheers legend!
I will use the freams to catch silver trevally, black bream, sand whiting, tailor, tarwhine, bartail and blue spot flathead, herring, snook, squid, cuttlefish and mulloway.
beautiful looking reel i would chase bream and bass on this one maybe some 6lb braid
Hey Byron, Another informative review and I thought the "Daiwa" video was excellent. IMHO, the Freams model has always represented very good value for money.

Well said! Thanks for the comments Manny. good luck i've got your entry in
@@ByronTeaHill Thanks! Byron, quick question. What braid (type and size) were you running on that Freams? Cheers
I’ve been looking to buy one, but to win one would be super! I’m targeting snapper in the shallows!
Where I go it'll catch Bream, Flathead, EP's, Tailor & Whiting. Interested in how you think it compares to the Daiwa BG 2500 which is in the same price range. The BG is my favourite reel that I own and was my go to for the next reel (currently paired with an Infeet LRS).
Hey Byron,
was there a video you did about more into the 1.6kg bream? i had a feeling id seen the video awhile back but cant find it now ?
hmmmn not sure which one you mean!?!
@@ByronTeaHill hmmm I thought I remember seeing a video up where that fish was caught. Was just looking to watch it again but couldn't find it
I’d be using it for mainly yellow belly and bass, really good looking reel and looks like it catches some monster fish!
Awesome video as usual. Just out of curiosity which Infeet Z rod is that reel paired up to? I have the 2000S Freams and have it paired to the base model Infeet (6101LFS) but want a bit more power on the lower part of the rod.
732LFS ! great for long casts
Thanks for that mate....Really appreciate your advice.
Love my 2 2000 LT’s for bream, would use it in my bass arsenal 🎣
I would use this reel for whiting, salmon, flatties, Redfin, bream and even mulloway as it seems like a perfect all rounder 👌🏼
Will definitely have to target some bream. Which for me means randomly catching flounder....
Some interesting points you made on the spool depth & height, will definitely keep that in mind. Another good review Byron and food for thought in that price range. I'd probably put some 10lb braid on it and chase some King George Whiting on SPs in the local bays.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great review as always! The Freams would be perfect for Long casts over the flats for skittish whiting using unweighted soft plastics .... and then to hear the drag singing !!
The T handle on a 2500 appeals to me as my hand has slipped off the small knobs of other models at times. I’d used this for trout as well as bream. Cheers.
Great vid and what a bream... I would like to catch a jack on one and test out that 10kg drag. I bought an aird LT from Dawia and I was extremely impressed with it. Especially since it's a sub $100 reel.
Good luck!
I will catch some Giant Snake heads and GT here on my place using that reel! :) can't wait for it.
Good luck!
Great looking Reel & seems well priced for the features it offers. Use it for Bream , flathead & whiting . Love your videos
I’d love to use it to chase a vast variety of species , such as bream ,bass , flathead and even give it ago with the mangrove jacks
I would pair this with a diawa td zero 702LS for bass and reddies.
Awesome review as always. Perfect for targeting bream
I’d use it a lot for bass, tailor, snapper and flathead on surface. And use it as a slightly heavier set up
Great video Byron. I would use the reel to target bream/flathead/whiting.
Being in SA I would be catching undersized bream haha - great video mate.
Straight to the estuaries chasing bream and flathead for me
Love the Daiwa reels & still use my old 2012 Freams reel. Would use the new one on Bream mainly & Flathead.
