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.👍
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
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 😁
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 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.
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. 🤙
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!
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.
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!
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!
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
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.
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. 🔥👍
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!
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
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
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👍👍
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.
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 👍
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.
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
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!
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,
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.
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 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
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 !!
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. :)
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!!!😀
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 have the model before this one and its my go to reel for light tackle fishing. I'd be using it to chase the very hard to get Bream in Corio Bay and best bit of winning it would be id have some spare coin for a new Infeet rod that i really want. Monster Bream Byron what a catch!
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 🙏

It's like brand new still going strong.

Did diawa just paint the freams and call it an infeet they look exactly the same. Same specs

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
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
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
Would love to use this for small topwater Sydney Kingys. Especially would be greatly suited to my recently purchased infeet. Love your vids! Cheers

You inspired me for kayak fishing as well!! Thank you
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.
Bream all year with a giant herring workout over the next summer 🤠
Another great video Byron! I would use to reel to target bream and other bread and butter species we have in Aus.
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.
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!
Bass, Bream, Taylor, Flathead, snapper, for sure.
Cheers again Byron.
I would use it in my first ABT Forster this coming weekend hopefully I might get paired with you cheers Glenn
i would love to chase big whiting and flathead at my local Bribie Island, throw on the new 8lb tasline once it releases,

@@ByronTeaHill Thanks! Byron, quick question. What braid (type and size) were you running on that Freams? Cheers

Great video as always, I'd use it on flatty, Bream, snapper... basically anything I can get .. keep the videos coming 👍
Thanks! Will do!
Would love to chase some yellow fin bream with the Freams this winter with blades and vibes. keep up the great content loving it!
Nice balanced review :-) In SA, the targets are Black Bream, Callop, Redfin and anything else that wants to give me some excitement.
Good looking upgrades I have the old model this would be used for yellowbelly in the dams
Great video as always 👍 I target ballan wrasse, pollock and seabass here in the UK. All the best
Definitely will pair it up with my 20 TD Black Scratchy for snapper, flatty and bream.
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,
Thanks for the comment buddy!!
I would put it to the test chasing Hairtail in Newcastle harbour at the moment. Rest of the year flathead.
Great video! I’d be aiming to catch a few nice hunter bass up in the dams.
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
I would pair this with a diawa td zero 702LS for bass and reddies.
Straight on the TD Black Pinster for the next Hobie round at Forster Toncurry winching bream out of the racks 🤘
Awesome review as always. Perfect for targeting bream
Bass year round and in spring/summer I'm going to be chasing threadfin salmon in the upper Brisbane river.
Cheers clinton
Hanging out for the 21 caldia . I hope there's a review coming for that and for the giveaway bass.
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.

Mate I will be chasing some bream and flathead 🤙🤙 keep up the videos
Nice vid, I would use this reel chasing flathead, and bream!
Definitely would be chasing flathead, bream and squid. Killer vid as always
Would love to see you do a review on the Luvias Airity...how much does Daiwa love you to give you one lol.
Chasing bream on the racks and at the break wall at Forster Tuncurry
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
Another great one Byron!! Would love to use this bad boy on some SEQ bass!!
Good luck!
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 !!
Straight to the estuaries chasing bream and flathead for me
bream bass and Ep's are my fav's
Another great review bud. I would use the reel to catch a bream (because I need all the help I can get!) 😆
I’d be using it for mainly yellow belly and bass, really good looking reel and looks like it catches some monster fish!
Bream with straight through FC on the shallow spool model 👍👍 great review Byron
Thanks mate. Entry is in
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.
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. :)
Right on. Thanks Rene - Have a great day buddy and thanks for the comment
I will catch some Giant Snake heads and GT here on my place using that reel! :) can't wait for it.
Good luck!

Glad I could help!
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
Love my 2 2000 LT’s for bream, would use it in my bass arsenal 🎣
I have the model before this one and its my go to reel for light tackle fishing. I'd be using it to chase the very hard to get Bream in Corio Bay and best bit of winning it would be id have some spare coin for a new Infeet rod that i really want. Monster Bream Byron what a catch!
Good choice! Thanks Brett, appreciate your comment mate
Would be targeting mostly bream and flathead and occasionally whiting. Would make my year if I got it. Cheers legend!
Bream or bass would be my pick.
Great video yet again.
Flatty and bream mainly catch and release sometimes I’ll keep them if they’re not too small but if they’re big I will always release them
Dario you've won the FREAMS REEL Buddy. Can you reach out to my insta or facebook pages and I'll get your address thanks!!!
@@ByronTeaHill hey I messaged you on instagram thanks so much
Hey Byron
Great review mate. I would be chucking it on my 8”6 hyper and chasing whiting if I won it.
Great video! I'd be using the reel to target bream from the kayak. 🙂
Good call!
Between the two Daiwa freams or Daiwa Fuego? Thank you
Great looking Reel & seems well priced for the features it offers. Use it for Bream , flathead & whiting . Love your videos
I would definitely fish some good flathead and bream. I’d LOVE TO fish for some cod as well with this reel!!!
Love the Daiwa reels & still use my old 2012 Freams reel. Would use the new one on Bream mainly & Flathead.
love a silver reel! Would use this for bream and pinkies : ) a 2000 size will be nice on my 21 infeet!
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 🙏
Very nice!
Id love to use it for flathead, bream, trevally
Another great video I would use the reel for Bream and flattys.
You're in!
Bream for sure!! Maybe even sneak in a couple mulloway down here 😋🤔
I would be chasing bream, flathead and Redfin at the reservoirs opening in south Australia
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.
100% lizards and breambo around the shallows great work again mate yeww 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌🤙🤙🤙-
I'd use it for a flatly/bream real. I have a lot older freaks and they have been a great reel. Great review.
Right on
Being in SA I would be catching undersized bream haha - great video mate.
Will definitely have to target some bream. Which for me means randomly catching flounder....
beautiful looking reel i would chase bream and bass on this one maybe some 6lb braid
