i just set the drag fairly tight before i cast it and take it from there. great smooth reel that retrieves effortly . not a salt water reel unless you like taking reels apart and cleaning them up
Ur the first person in my life that i have seen using reverse function on a reel.... before you I always thought y the hell would they even give u this function when u have a nice drag system...oh well.. learned something today....I am still not convinced with the use of it... specially here in Canada when u hook a big ass Pike/Muskie, I don't think they gives u enough time to play with ur reel like that. Thank you for the nice review.
Was looking for a review because i want to pick this up for my maine trip at the end of the month to add to my arsenal since i have nothing but casting rods and this was the first that popped up lol. Gonna through it on a daiwa aird x.. Good little budget combo and it looks sexy 🤷♂️
this reel is the cheapest and smoothest spinner i own. i baby this reel because it's really a fresh water reel and i'm using it in salt. just as smooth while fishing as it was when i cranked it in the store.
Ian Undercover I’ve never used a trout rod or a light micro. I’m assuming that that means a very fast, light powered rod. I’m that case, I think the 2500 might be unbalanced. Maybe a smaller size like the 2000 or even 1 size lower.
That was a really interesting video. I’ve never seen someone fish the way you do with a spinning rod. My question on that is, do you think you could back real quickly enough while a 5lb smallie or 7lb largemouth is violently making runs or head shakes unexpectedly? Also, typically the way drag works is you set it to where you can control the fish, but break you off either. Obviously you don’t know the size of the fish, so from your approximate setting, once the fish is hooked, it shouldn’t be many clicks plus or minus to adjust. Going from a completely locked drag at 22 max lbs is going to take a lot of turns to get it down to say 6lbs. I’d like to see review from someone who uses the drag on this spinning reel tge traditional way, but this was a very cool video! Thanks!
Typically you set the drag before you are out on the water fishing. Set it just below the breaking point of the line you have on that reel. Then if you catch a 10 lb fish on 8lb line it won’t break you off when it does a run. But ya I wouldn’t be messing around with unlocking the anti reverse a risking a tangle. Looks like a decent reel for the price though. But I’m not sure why they decided to make the gold colour SO yellowish. The others above and below it aren’t. Actually I would love all their reels to be black and red or the silver/chrome and red. Love the fuego and procyon. But what can you do. Just my 2 cents
Don K more control over the fight. Don’t have to take hand off handle. I do it basically with every big bass. I’m not a fan of using drag during fight. Only when I’m about to be them.
Do you think that the Daiwa Revros Lt 3000 paired with ugly stik light rod 6' 6' moderate fast is a good pairing? I am looking for something to cast far and use roster tails and spoons for trout.
I dont know. I don’t fish for trout or use rooster tails/ spoons. So it’s hard for me to say. 2500 is perfect for 7’ spinning rod. Also the hyper speed is fast. It’s too fast for top water but great for worms and drop shots.
I don't feel that ugly stik light action rods are actually light action, they are much stiffer and slower than rated. I use ugly stiks for catfish almost exclusively because they are economical and I find that I can downsize and have a more comfortable, lighter rod, like the salmon/steelhead one for instance, and still haul in good sized cats, instead of big bulky "catfish" rods that are like fishing with a tree limb. They are durable and have power, but I've never seen an ugly stik I would call any degree of fast compared to other rods.
The reason you must turn the drag so far before it starts engaging is because this little beast has 22lbs max drag! I bought this reel for salmon fishing and I switched up to light line for trout the other day and was having the same problem.
Alix Ramos depends on what lures you’re throwing. I like 7’3” to 7’6” medium or medium heavy with fast tip. But it really depends on what you’re using it for.
Literally nothing but retards on this thread. Nobody in Maine is halfway normal. Window lickers. Can’t find line? What? Find some cheap line and give yourself a Cuban necktie you piece of shit 🤣😂🤣😂
Before you throw a fit about the backreeling in this video, google it and educate yourself. Some of the finest fisherman in the world have used it successfully for more years than you've been alive. It has its place. Learn yours.
@@MaineManBassing Totally inecesary! Take the drag to zero cause loss of tension, one of the main thing that we DON'T have to do while fighting a fish!
Someone needs to teach this man how to handle a rod and reel. Everything you do is add backwards....u would break off every rainbow in the river fighting fish that way
I thought I had seen just about everything until I watched this circus. 😂 Please watch some videos on the proper use of drags before you hook into something of substantial size.
I use this reel on my 7ft medium light size 2000 for walleye and bass works phenomenal
i just set the drag fairly tight before i cast it and take it from there. great smooth reel that retrieves effortly . not a salt water reel unless you like taking reels apart and cleaning them up
Thank you for the honest review
np. great little spinning reel.
Can i use this reel for salwater fishing does it comes in a 5000 series

thanks. I don't like fighting a bass with drag. reverse gives you more options.

It’s a great reel. You won’t be sad.

planing on pairing the 2500 with the 7 foot light micro Shakespeare trout rod you recommended. what do you say?
Ian Undercover I’ve never used a trout rod or a light micro. I’m assuming that that means a very fast, light powered rod. I’m that case, I think the 2500 might be unbalanced. Maybe a smaller size like the 2000 or even 1 size lower.
Ian Undercover I also prefer. 7’6” length. I feel it delivers a longer cast on lighter baits.
@@MaineManBassing thank you very much
Is it good reel ?

Just my 2 cents
I really dont like drag when fighting a fish. I wish baitcasters had reverse too. you're in complete control when you back reel with any size fish/
Is everybody from Maine fucking retarded? No laws on lead based paint up there?
I've never seen someone reel backwards when they have a fish on. Is that something that you do often? Why?
Don K more control over the fight. Don’t have to take hand off handle. I do it basically with every big bass. I’m not a fan of using drag during fight. Only when I’m about to be them.
@@MaineManBassing isn't that why there's a drag?
i've been out of the fishing game for a long time. just bought a revros 3000 LT. what should i spool it with?
A receipt. It’s trash
Never before have I seen someone let their reel go on reverse to give the fish line. Normally I just loosen my drag 😂
Planning on pairing it with the diawa aris x 7ft what do you think
That’s exactly what I’m going to do
I done that, it was nice
Do you think that the Daiwa Revros Lt 3000 paired with ugly stik light rod 6' 6' moderate fast is a good pairing? I am looking for something to cast far and use roster tails and spoons for trout.

Probably too big for a light rod. I have the 2500 on a 7’ med heavy and that is perfect for my rod.

You should pair that rod with the 2000 or 2500 at most.
Nice video.. Nice fishing.. 😊👍🏼
Reversing reel?! I can’t stop 😂

yeah. I don't really use drag that much. I usually have just enough to set the hook, so my line won't snap, then I back reel.
it is good for salt water?
I also have the same reel but i think my rod is too big. What is the specs of the rod i should use sir? Thank you..
Alix Ramos depends on what lures you’re throwing. I like 7’3” to 7’6” medium or medium heavy with fast tip. But it really depends on what you’re using it for.
Thanks man
NP
Made in ?
What line do you recommend with that reel bc I haven’t found line that goes well with the reel
clutch Gonzo 8lb test. Maxima or lews fluorocarbon or monofilament.
@@MaineManBassing maxima!!! You have to be the only other person I've seen recommend that! I grew up using that line. Best stuff!!
Literally nothing but retards on this thread. Nobody in Maine is halfway normal. Window lickers. Can’t find line? What? Find some cheap line and give yourself a Cuban necktie you piece of shit 🤣😂🤣😂
I own 1 diawa revorse lt 3000 size and its super smooth and casting very far out.
What rod do you use from Daiwa?
Believe I’m using lews speed pole.
What size reel is it?
mjb9_oc 2500xh
Maine Man Bassing do you think that size would be good for bass fishing with a 7ft medium rod
mjb9_oc 7’6” would be better, but 7’ will work.
Maine Man Bassing thx
Would 8lb fluorocarbon work on this reel?
Yessir.
You should leave the drag set to where you want it
thing is, i don't really like drag at all. Prefer backreeling.
@@MaineManBassing what year is it?? daiwa makes the best and smoothest drags in their reels
Then you have no control. Less technical. Not as cool. You don't know how big the fish will be.
Before you throw a fit about the backreeling in this video, google it and educate yourself. Some of the finest fisherman in the world have used it successfully for more years than you've been alive.
It has its place.
Learn yours.
drag maxed out ....
Why r u reeling backwards
Ya wtf
back reeling. gives me more control over the fight. DOn't have to take my hands off the reel to play with drag.
@@MaineManBassing Totally inecesary! Take the drag to zero cause loss of tension, one of the main thing that we DON'T have to do while fighting a fish!

Yeah, those were fun.

Someone needs to teach you about charm school.
A lot of screwing around with the reel for such a small fish. Learn to set the drag...
5lb line so I can get a cast.
I thought I had seen just about everything until I watched this circus. 😂 Please watch some videos on the proper use of drags before you hook into something of substantial size.
weird! why not set dragging? is it not working
