Hi Billy! Great review, fabulous location! I Like these reviews, they are always helpful when deciding on new tackle, and glad to see you gave the reel 6 months of use before the review. Good plan Brother! Also glad to see that Daiwa have put a standard handle on the reel - not a fan of these Ball handles that a lot of manufacturers seem to be supplying lately, as on the other reel you had there. Thanks Bill - stay safe & well, Dave. 🎣🎣👍👍
Great, honest review, from an experienced angler, who has used it for some time.👏👏 I'm sure it will help anyone looking for a similar reel.👍 Take care and stay safe.😷🙊
I don't think anyone comes close to Daiwa with value for money. I absolutely love my Ninjas and I'm now very keen to try one of these for my heavier stuff. cheers Billy, your honest review is much appreciated! 🙌🙌
Great review Billy! The spinning reel I use on my heavy rod is a Fin-nor Lethal LT80 but I'll be looking for something a little lighter for a new pike rod, like a 2500 or 3000, in the future. Cheers Brother.
Perfect timing Billy! I am looking to replace my old, bit knackered, Chinese 2000 that has done me well over the years to be honest but its getting a bit squeeky and lumpy now. Just did a search for this reel and in typical fashion, can only find the 2000 and the 5000 where I am so looks like I will be nipping down to my local tackle shop and ask them to order me one in!
Hi bud, are you sure it's the Laguna. Because they have others that are similar, but slightly bigger. So, tight lines out in Portugal. thanks brother, Hope you find what you're looking for👍😁
@@Billyfishing_watch Its what I searched for and cannot find a stockist here. Will go to my local tackle shop and ask them to get me one. Oh, had some tightlines recently with some hard fighting 7kg carp and one monster that I could not stop, stripping line and eventually broke off on rocks. Almost empty reel and burned fingers! All good and always lovin your vids man! 🙂
Love my Ninja 4000 for my bass fishing. Never thought about how loud the “reed” is although I bet I’m not the only one who’s carried on fighting a fish like an idiot when their lure has actually been stuck in a snag!
I"m going to be running those "lure killer'" 5000's on 11 foot .5-2oz rods early. And respooled for 12-foot Okuma's .75=3 oz for up close, off the beach stuff. I also plan of using them for them in-shore sea bass & fluke trips. Thanx for posting.
In America, the Daiwa "Laguna" is the best reel for $50.00 usd. I just bought a 1000 size for light freshwater fishing....lots of fun. For $100 or $200 you can get better spinning reels. If you can spend more and get a better reel that's fine too. Today, in America, we have $1,000.00 spinning reels, if you hit the Lotto.
@@Billyfishing_watch - Yes mate - we work together. Mark and I had way too much to drink in a country pub a few months back. I was telling tall stories about the great fishing here in Lake Macquarie - naturally your name came up - and I've been subbed & binge-watching your channel for a few months now.
@@Billyfishing_watch - It would be our pleasure to get your arms properly stretched on a solid king, XOS mulloway or long tailed tuna (depending on the time of year).
@@Billyfishing_watch I've never had any problems so far anyway. The rods have came along a good bit now . Few surf rods out there now good as any but . That's just my opinion dosent mean I'm right 😆. Best luck with it any way . Nice reel
What is the tip you use to spool braid right to the lip without having wind knots? Is it just in the way you put the line on the reel or is there more to it?
Hi bud. Dawa created the gadget for the bail arm so you can do this with the line, so yes and no, is also depends on how many guides around your rod. Where they are positions, the diameter of the line. Weather conditions also play a factor. And how the line was spooled. I have a video that will might help answer your problem. just follow the links, thanks Brother 👍😁
You could be able to make the clicker louder. Just take the spring under the spool off, open it up more, so there is more tension on it and put it back. Very simple process, it creates more tension in the drag clicker, and makes it a bit louder.
I hate clickers/reeds. I hunted for a year to find a silent fly reel! Hate any noise from my equipment. Won't use PE/Braid because the noise it makes...

Thanks Trampster. I was not a fan of the ball hands, but there not so bad. But you only find them on biger more expensive reels. Fish on Brother 👍😁👌

Dave, you won't regret it. Fantastic reel, thanks Brother 👍😁👌
Thanks Billy, will consider this on my next reel purchase! Recently bought a v good value Shimano 4000.
Any Viking, tight lines Brother 👍😁👌
these model also can use Revros LT RR spool.. just adjust the plastic shim for balance for spool line arrangement 👌.
Thanks for the info! Nice 😁👌

That sounds like good fishing 😁👍
Subbed and ordered from Walmart before video ended. Cheers
Thanks Tyler, see you on the beach 👍😁
Good for you.
I was buying $29.95 Shimano "Siennas" but they are just OK, but good for the price forgrandkids.
Love my Ninja 4000 for my bass fishing. Never thought about how loud the “reed” is although I bet I’m not the only one who’s carried on fighting a fish like an idiot when their lure has actually been stuck in a snag!

That sounds great Randy, what are fluke? I cant remember, for the life of me.
@@Billyfishing_watch Summer Flounder. Larger & more "toothy" than Black Back but nowhere near as large as a Halibut. More in the Turbot range.
@@rwglavin3794 I know now, wish are flounder where like that. Thanks Brother 👍😁👌
Nice video Billy ! I like your review and I'm from the east part of the world 7:40.

Thanks Eimear, you can't go wrong with the LT. Fish on 👍😁
A "reely" good honest review.
Thanks buddy, glad you like it 👍😁
Yes, for $50 usd it is the best value.
Good review Billy. BTW - I'm here because of a mutual friend - Greally - from Down Under.
How's it going, are you on the Down under as well? Thanks bud, glad you liked it 👍😁

I think all the daiwa stuff is great .
Hi Sean. There reels are, not sure about there rods. But there fishing line, both mono and braid is awful, thanks Brother 👍😁👌
@@Billyfishing_watch I've never had any problems so far anyway. The rods have came along a good bit now . Few surf rods out there now good as any but . That's just my opinion dosent mean I'm right 😆. Best luck with it any way . Nice reel
Tight lines Brother 👍😁
Diawa (quality gear billy)👍low end gear ,top end gear i like it all,great reviews👍
Yes a nice little reel, wish I had the money for a mag seal. Love them, thanks Brother 👍😁
In Florida, Daiwa has a huge following. Shimano is good too.
Great video Billy, but was that a dolphin @ 5:28 :P
Thanks Chris, there where some porpoise swimming are round. Good eye Brother 👍😁
Hey Billy can you do a video on how to spool a reel with braid I always find a way to mess up
Sure John, I'll give it a go. Thanks Brother 👍😁
See ya on the rocks beach or were ever brother ✌
Thanks Matt, fish on 👍😁👌
Look up Daiwa clicker upgrade super easy and it’ll make it louder
Hi. But I broke it when was trying to make it louder. I hope it's a replacement 🤣 Thanks Brother 👍😁

Never heard it called the reed. I always called it the clicker.
Hi Eck, yes that it's called a reed. But only the manufacturers call it that. I like pling thing😂 thanks Brother 👍😁
You could be able to make the clicker louder.
Just take the spring under the spool off, open it up more, so there is more tension on it and put it back.
Very simple process, it creates more tension in the drag clicker, and makes it a bit louder.
Hi Bud. I have a feeling it's just to weak, but I'll have a look, thanks bud👍😁
Where are you fishing there bud? Location?
I was fishing in Clogher Head, thanks Brother 👍😁
@@Billyfishing_watch looks like a nice spot, deep water!!
What happened to the bait elastic video Billy?
My next post will explain 👍
@@Billyfishing_watch I use it and great to learn it's good for the environment
Thanks Brother 👍
Hi Tom, you asked about the nut for the pump, it's a M8 👍
sienna or laguna reel? both are same price.
I don't know the other reel, but if it's the same make! You can't go wrong, thanks bud 😁👌
I believe the NASA scientists call it a twangy yoke, instead of using everyday language like reed haha
Of course they did, bloody rocket scientists they think they know everything🤣😂 thanks Brother 👍😁👌
I hate clickers/reeds. I hunted for a year to find a silent fly reel! Hate any noise from my equipment. Won't use PE/Braid because the noise it makes...
Hi Henry, you can the reed out. 8 strand makes hardly any noise, 4 strand is the noisy one. Thanks Brother 👍
Can i use this for pike?
Yes! It works for all types of fishing. Thanks bud👌
Lovely man. Ty so much, for The Good video. I will go buy The reel tomorrow what mm. Braid line would you use for pike on it?
@@Billyfishing_watch should i buy The 3000 version or 4000 for pike?
You should be good with 10lb line, the real choice depends on what size the fish you're going to catch are, but you will not go wrong with the 4,000!
Daiwa Laguna is too heavy.
It all depends on what you're trying to catch, thanks Brother 👌
