- In this episode you will learn the answer to a question: are Daiwa or Shimano reels from AliExpress originals?
A few sellers I tried on Ali:

I think the main difference is in the warranty. They are probably original reels, but when you buy in a shop or in an online shop in UK, Italy, US etc you have a warranty period (generally 2years at least) in which anything that happens to your reel you have free replacement of pieces and free maintenance. I really doubt it would be the same on Ali express and this is probably why there's that difference in price
Great video Andrew, I appreciate the time you took to make it to help people out.
You are right. Problem is that it takes 2 months to deliver.
Just bought a Daiwa (20) Ninja 2500 LT PB (Pitch Black). It's nice to have an option for a more neutral black colour - if your theme/scheme is not red.
Line Lay is a bit top heavy though and 100 meters of 0.15 DAM braid (8 stranded) is all it takes to fill the spool 100%. (I prefer 95% filling of the spool to avoid a birds nest) 8 stranded makes less noise when reeling in, I really recommend that.
I also got a small bag of plastic washers, like you did here. How do I adjust the line lay without destroying anything?
Just one plastic washer - second from the last aluminium/carbon one?
To adjust the line lay on the spool you need to add/remove plastic washers under the spool, where "spool support" is.
Hello everyone, i bought this reel too and it really is the original. But this is the 2017 model and there is a 2020 model that's the same but 5gr lighter because of different design but same internal components etc. So i think that's why these ones are very cheap. None the less these reels are very good.
Very true.

Andrew, i love your content! You opend me the way to ultralight fishing. Thx for that 😊
Fantastic.
Can you fish on carp with this reel? the sound of the spool sounds amazing
"fish on carp" can mean anything.. Probably 6000 size would be ok though.
hi there, can anyone tell me if the Daiwa Regal LT is any good compared to Fuego LT ? Looking in particular to the 1000 size for UL SPinning, but don't want to give away too muhc for the beginning. Or any "cheaper" (+- 50€) spool with a smooth run. thanks
Hi,
I don't have Regal but probably it's ok. I believe, it should be good enough for a while. 👌
I did order 3000 series but i think so i recieve defective one. The bolt in which one you are screwing the handle it has a little bit of movement and when turning the reel there is noise which i think it is not normal .In the beginning i toughed that the noise is coming from the handle but after i change the bearings i realize that actually is coming from the bolt . Is that normal for this model or i really recieved defective one .
Sounds like it's defective reel. I would suggest record the problem, raise the dispute on Aliexpress and upload that video!
Hope it works out for you ✌
@@AndrewsKnots Thank you Andrew ! I open dispute let's see if they will help .
hey , i have a problem, i dismantle my exceler lt , and when i put it back i can see that bail on opening is hitting the spool when it is in highest point. any toughts what could be the problem? thx
Not to sure what you did exactly there but most likely your spool sits too high. Daiwa LT reels (especially 2000 size) has very small tolerance when it comes to the bail opening. Maybe you put in too thick drag washers?
Cheers
The problem was taking it apart
Hi Andrew, nice video. Just a quick question: have ever had a problem with the line profile on the spool? I just bought a Daiwa Fuego 2500 and it seems that the profile is not that great. I tried the extra washers from the box but I find it not straightforward how to apply the washers in case of this reel.
Hi,
If I remember correctly, all Daiwas I got from Ali were set correctly. If the line sits too high on the spool, you need to add supplied washers and remove washers, if line sits too low. As on any other reel really.
Cheers
@@AndrewsKnots Thanks for the prompt reply. Yes, you are correct. My problem was how to remove the bearing in order to put the washers/shims. It seems that there is thin transparent washer on top of the bearing. After removing that it comes off easily and you can apply the additionan washers. Thanks again Andrew.
Hi Andrew, do you have any experience with the Daiwa Legalis (4000) or Ninja match/feeder 4012.
I’m hoping to get a bit more into the rivers and plan to get to the Trent and Wye mainly on the feeder. Matched with 12ft 2.2tc. I really like the TDM/TDR’s but out of my price range. Original Legalis are not too expensive second hand and newer LT model on Ali Express too.
Thanks in advance for any advice 👍
Go for non LT Ninja for feeder work. I think newest version has correct line clip too.
@@AndrewsKnots brill thanks 👍
Nice video Andrew I'm surprised you don't pay custom duty fees on your rods and reels,ALIEN
There is no guarantees about customs/import fees.. But as they say, you have to take hay while the sun shines ✌
You should try the daiwa caldia cs lt from aliexpress I would love to see a review on it
Maybe one day! 👍
Nice channel mate, subbed.
Thanks.
Hi, Andrew. Can you please recommend any reels for super-ultra light fishing with a shallow spool in the 500-1000 range? I have Soare CI4+ 500s. Happy with it but looking for cheaper alternatives. Many thanks!
Not really. Not many available as per spec. I recently obtained Daiwa Luvias 2000 for my SUL fishing. Seems to be great reel!
Andrew's Knots Yes, I have Daiwa Luvias 2500, it is a nice reel. Also have Daiwa Freams 1000 - very happy with it too. I switched to ultra almost nano recently and those two are too heavy. Ordered Shimano Sahara 500 will see what it is). Thanks for your videos and advice!
Well, Luvias 2020 at 2000 size weights 152 g., so, it balances well even with my short SUL rod. Big but light reel is a bonus for SUL as it's helps with casting 👌
Andrew's Knots oh, wow, I didn’t realize that new Luvias is so light. Mine is an old one and 2500. I agree that bigger spool helps with casting. I will check it out, hope they do shallow spools Thanks!
can you write the size of carbon disс for the drag of the fuego 2000?
It was mentioned in this video th-cam.com/video/uKNSmExPMUQ/w-d-xo.html
@@AndrewsKnots thanks, i have seen it, but you think 2000 and 2500 spool has the same drag ring size? I just want to order the 2000 reel and drag discs together..i haven't the reel now and can't measure drag(
Can you compare this real to the seanight windrunner 3
Maybe at some point.
It is looks thrue. But all the prices from Ali are comming without VAT and custom duties. When you add this expences you will reach the Europe prices. Plus, from Europe sellers you have full Daiwa Waranty, from Ali Express - No waranty.
You are right about import fees but in practice I paid import fee just once (ordered 4 Fuegos so far) and it was when seller forgot to declare low value for the reel..
@@AndrewsKnots Lucky guy!
Have you buy CS version of Fuego? That thing looks kinda worst than old Fuego.
But it is better.
are they real? not fake?
That was the point of this video.
Just to let you know these links aren’t working for me
Just fixed them. 👌
Thanks
Thanks
good riview 👍👍
Thanks! 👍
are the shimano reels fake? they have sickest price,,, sounds unreal to get high end shimano reels for so low prices
Buyers I recommended do not sell fakes.. Also, there is Ali buyer's protection. 👌
Same here. They have some shimano reels that claim to be 800 dollar reels. Would love to see a review of these. Shimano Stella is one.
So is it actually a Daiwa reel or just a knock off
Daiwa.
Please review a Shimano Stella clone. Can it really be a 800 dollar reel for 30 or so dollars.
I GET IT NOW so the ones you bought fron england are actually resold from Ali so in the end all your reals are fake from ali
Most of the Daiwa reels are made in China. Shimano in Malaysia etc.
Daiwa-Reels are absolutely bullshit....I ve used them over many jears. But Shimano is much more better...all time wigs with this Daiwa-Shit....the gear from the Daiwa ist always scratching and gnugging. Daiwa ist suberb, only out of the box, but after using a few weeks....this reels are horrible...
Couldn't agree less re Daiwas. Great reels in my opinion as are Shimanos. Have a few Daiwas which were properly abused during about 7 years of service and still going ok..
I think you understood this video wrong - it is about personal choice as none reel is perfect.
What's the name of the reels you were using ?
I've bought one on aliexpress and in my opinion daiwa is better and I've used alot of Shimano
