*Update- Since the filming of this video Shimano has since included X- ship on the list of features.
What the heck happened to the reels in the Thumbnail? FYI Gonna give away the Spheros soon.....
very interesting? I may need to give that Spheros a try. I agree on the marketing fail calling it "inshore".
I need the spheros please, my 3000 bg gave out on me 3 weeks ago. :(
This time around i hope i can win one because this reel is not available in Malaysia. It's irony even though it's made in Malaysia. Lol 😂
Do you think the spheros is better than the ultegra ?
Is the 2019 stradic FL safe to use in salt water? I fish alot for surf perch and striper San Francisco, CA.
Great video Scoob, your quality info and humour always makes it excellent viewing.
unbelievably great channel. when you get these details and evaluation, it's less like a buyers' minefield out there.
Great review as usual! That looks like an awesome reel. I dig the colour scheme!
Great video man, thanks for the info. I just bought a 4000 series Spheros and am happy to hear your good review. Hoping to get on some nice stripers and blues in RI this weekend!
Man im glad i found you. A non bullshit reviewer on high end fishing gear. Love the knowledge and the uncorupt content⚜️⭐️🤝
I decided to get another SPHEROS SW Inshore and they are sold out , glad I bought my 1st one just after reading your review. I fish the same area as Elias and use this reel with a jig and gulp shrimp.
Great video Scoob!!! Love them reels! Can’t wait to post my own video on the stradic FL!
Lemme know when you put it out!
Tackle Advisors I definitely will! You’ll be getting a shout out in the video as being the best gear head I know! You’ve made me into this gear junkie man 😰😰 I think I’ll record it tonight and try to get it out tomorrow!
I have a couple Spheros 4000s and love them. Best in the price range for in my opinion. I especially like that the 4000 weighs less than most 3000s. They have been splashed with saltwater and even dunked in saltwater and they still perform like brand new. Great Channel.
Love your videos, thank you for giving us so much valuable info in your videos.
I just got a chance to play with these reels and here is what I have discovered..
I believe this may be the first time in USDM market that shimano has offered a 3000-4000 size hybrid - SP3000XGSW, which shares body with 4000 but it has a rotor, spool, and handle from smaller C3000. Because of this it is slightly heavier than SPC3000HGSW but lighter than SP4000XGSW. Because of larger body and smaller rotor it also has more clearance for your knuckles, so if you have a shimano 2500 or C3000 size shimano reel and the rotor (or bail) touches your knuckles as it spins then SP3000XGSW may fix that problem for you, in fact it has slightly more knuckle clearance than 4000 and C5000 size shimano reels.
SP4000XGHG is very similar in size to most shimano reels in that size, and if you need more line capacity then the spool from Nasci C5000 will 100% fit on SP4000XGHG and they use identical drag system.
The body on SPC3000HGSW is smaller (compact). If you compare SPC3000HGSW and SP3000XGSW you will see that they have same size rotor, spool, and handle, but the body on SP3000XGSW will be slightly bigger than SPC3000HGSW, it is because it does not have a compact body but has the same "body" as SP4000XGSW. SP4000XGSW looks bigger than SP3000XGSW because it has larger handle, larger rotor and spool, but "body" is the same. It is frustrating that even USA shimano website has wrong parts diagram listed for SP3000XGSW, they have SPC3000HGSW pdf file for SP3000XGSW reel.
Love the channel. Wish you'd compare the weights and the drag smoothness. Just a thought
Great video. Thanks for the in-depth review. What kind of line was that on your Stradic
Imagine if they came out with a reel like this or the Stradic FL 5K size with X-Shield....it would open up a whole world of competition.
That intro with low rider gave me a real good chuckle! I’ve noticed you laughing at yourself a lot more and videos, you’re always putting out awesome content man keeping it reel!
Thks for watching..having fun on the shore watching the waves sun n water n little fish n sealife fishing catching cooking n making video.thks for sharing..
Great video again..thank you...
Still waiting for the penn spinfisher VI lc review...hahaha
This MIGHT be my next spinning reel. And the hybrid silver/black is rad! Make that happen Shimano!
I dont have that much money to buy high end reel and i found this very imformative video to buy what is the best value for my money,.Thanks a lot
When are you going to have a strip down review on the Daiwa Phantom LT? Looking forward to that and how does it fair versus the spheros sw 2019
Tackle advisors I love your videos and will work on trying to be a patreon donator, on a small income but thank you for this video!!! After this video I had to save to get it but I saved and got one and I'm glad I did but I wanted to ask which part number would a ball bearing for the side plate be?
Great video 👍🏼
Which is better the Spheros SW 4000 or Spinfisher VI 4500
For slow pitch jigging and maybe some inshore fishing for light lures less that an ounce
I am not surprised Shimano used a bushing in that side plate,,the Spheros SW is the same deal.
Got one of these reels incoming from J&H. Very excited.
Also, come on man use a deepwell socket on that rotor nut! had me cringin' over here
Got to use the 4000 size for a few days of surf fishing in NC. The reel feels slightly tight at first but became butter smooth after about a half hour of casting. The line lay is excellent with 20lb j braid.
The most Fantastic video i have seen i have the spheros 4000 Fantastic for my uk bass fishing. You certainly know your craft sir i wouldn't go any further than taking the spool off and adding line lay shimms lol by far the best video ive ever seeing on a reel break down . Fantastic sir from Paul Roberts uk
Mahalos for sharing your info..Currently field testing this reel in hawaii.
Have surpassed 14 stradics the way I fish popping 2oz lures..
Hey uncle joe I had a question and wanted to ask what reel and size would you recommend for (plugging) rod shimano speedmaster 12ft MH and 9ft salmon steelhead MH... I love whipping and now I would like to kick it up a notch by getting into lures and popping them... any feedback would appreciate it! Mahalos unkz
P.s 12 feet rod is for big game (plugging) and the tica steelhead is for whipping small game
@@mykelmedeiros1528 wwj fishing simplified 1ea 7ft fenwick mhfs..1 spheros 6ksw..4 poppers for big game..4 small game lures n seaweed..thats my gear. Well proven..
Mahalos for the add..

th-cam.com/users/JOEOLIVASWWJ this way the fish will be in a group..the other way it be scattered..please share with family and friends and good luck on your next fish trip..If I can be of help shoot me an email or tex, etc...you can learn from my videos by being perceptive i.e. on the area, time of day, weather, water conditions, or read the comments.
Much Mahalo uncle Joe for replying back, I appreciate it... I think I wont be using my 12ft pole on whipping plugs. Might use it for dunking. I too like to whip with smaller poles as I feel its easy to maneuver while whipping, you can feel the ocean with smaller poles haha... I will keep it simple! I didnt watch all your videos but I sure watch on a daily basis, I like your style of fishing... great learning station for me... I will definitely hyu if I have any questions and keep you updated on my first big catch. Auuuuuuuuuurite! Godbless you and your family.....
Mahalo
@@mykelmedeiros1528 yes..very light easy and get more fun affordable BIG fish rare not productive..
What !!! Zappa !!!! Brilliant intro track !!!!
Nice video! Really good content!
I just bought Spheros 4000xg... one question only, i'm left handed, do you think i should change that bushing to ball bearing in right part of the reel body where handle screws in... would it even mater, never owned a shimano before...
The symmetre with the double paddle best bass reel ever
I have two of the 4000 size now and have caught everything from redfish/trout/flounder to mangrove snapper and cobia offshore. One thing to mention about these reels is they have a great sound when the drag is peeling off. I got turned onto the Spheros line when I bought the 14000 FB for jigging in the Gulf of Mexico and appreciate that they are bulletproof, but also have enough "slop" in them that sand/grit/dirt don't really phase the reel if you are getting splashed by waves. If the Stradic is the Lexus SUV of reels, these are the Ford F-150. The 3000 would cover most inshore work, but I bumped up to 4000 for light offshore work. The 4000 size also works great my 9' surf rod.
Do you feel like the 4000 is hard to turn under load, like just retrieving your lures? I feel like I have to exert alot of energy, way more so than all of my other reels.
@@ThomasDercole2230 I have not had that experience. I only use it with 1/4 oz to 1/2 oz lures and 1 to 1.25 oz plugs and nothing larger. I don't think it is designed to pull bigger plugs or 2 oz lures etc. and would probably bend if loaded really heavily with the drag mashed down. I use mine with around 3-3.5 lbs drag at full max.
@@RSdd11 yea i just struggle to reel in 1/2 oz chatterbaits and spinners, i lubed the bail roller with no luck, sucks because ive only had it a few months and cant return it.
@@ThomasDercole2230 Ya that doesn't sound good. Might be worth taking it apart and seeing what is wrong.
Very good review sir,,,👍👍👍👍👍
Own the Diawa BG. Love it! Interested in seeing if this is better! Sign me up!
*Tackle Advisors post a video* - me: *sweating and jitters intensify*. 25min Iater: *pats my Stradic FL with love, again*
LOLOL
This is why I haven't watched this yet. I am holding out for black friday at tackle warehouse
Same range of emotions here. Phew
When you got to get rid of excess parts...
Make parts bin reels and "BAM"...
Spheros SW...
The drag in the Spheros SW is an improvement over the dicky finesse washer configurations of the FJ throughout other reels, i like that larger surface area washer style of previous drag designs!
P.s. have had / seen Daiwa Air bails pull away from the line roller housing part in the past, not a fan imho...
Thks for watching your comments n sharing.m
Sir all your video is superb! Please make a video to the underdog brand i.e bullzen/bossna and eupro reel. U the best sir
Awesome job
Thanks sharing your knowledge…
@Tackle Advisors , have you did an in depth side by side comparison with the Diawa BG and Shimano Spheros SW? I have been looking but no luck....
Really interested to know which reel comes out on top between BG and Spheros Inshore?
Great vid.
So would you recommend the Spheros over the Ultegra in 4000 size for freshwater spinfishing? Because I could get the Spheros for 80 bucks and the ultegra is 20 bucks more expensive.
Hey Scoob, Between the BG, Fuego LT and Spheros SW 3K which would you recommend for mainly throwing artificial from the beach/inshore. Thanks as always for the great videos
Would love to know as well!
Since the Scoob is "ignoring" you, I'd take the bait and say Fuego LT is your choice. I have BG, LT 3K and Spheros SW inshore 4k. Depends on your target species, the Fuego LT should be able to handle trout to bull reds without any issues. Granted it'll have some flex if the fish got over 10 lbs and you need to horse it in fast.
Thanks I appreciate it
Great video! I have the 4000 and it is smooth as glass out of the box. I fished a 1/2 oz spoon in current and this reel felt really tight. With no resistance it’s still smooth. Very drastic difference over my BG’s and my buddy’s stradic fl 2500. Have you noticed this while fishing it? I ordered a bearing to replace the bushing on the main gear. Hope this helps. Keep up the videos! Love your no BS reviews.
nice video! How is this better than my Sahara? My sahara has a bearing there. This has aluminum body but i catch carp with the saharas and they never flex, in any size. It has core protect on top which i don't think is needed for freshwater. I kind of want that bearing there, just so I can feel good : )
Thanks for your reviews, the best one out there!
I need a 4000/5000 reel for sea bass fishing in Portugal. I fish from surf beaches from the shore, and from the rocks, where I can get splashes but in theory the reel should not get sumerged. I don't want a Penn coz I had a bad experience with a Penn clash, lot of wind knots... I can't spend more than 200$. I am between a Shimano spheros SW, stradic FL, and baiwa BG MQ. Also I saw a Ryobi AP Power Yellow. Could you recommend me one for the kind of fishing?
Thanks
Im wondering when will you do a breakdown and comparison of the previous shimano spheros sw to the current new spheros sw 2021 saltwater reel?
first i would like to thank you for your depth review, i just purchased shimano spheros sw 3000 xg and i want to replace the side plate pushing with a pall baring so if you please tell me the size of the ball baring
Low rider.
How do those reels stack up to the WHITE PIGEON SUPER LUCKY reels ?
Those sound like they are made of Graluminum.
The Strad is nice, my bg4500 is silky smooth. But I had a second gen sphyeros 5k loved it, NEVER let me down. I have a twin power 4K XG an talk about smooth oh my goodness
Saya membeli BG 4500 tetapi saya tidak suka ia membuat cast pantai dengan garis merah jambu terlalu banyak di tepi gelendong.
For surf fishing, the Spheros over either the Stradic FK or FL because the Spheros has an IPX8 body?
can you please do a video explaining spool sizes/diameters? daiwa lt sizes are supposed to be similar to shimano but this reel is TINY. The 4000 spheros holds 10/200 mono, that's about a fuego 2500!! but then again a bg 3000 is also listed as 10/200 . I am soooo confused. Also which size for casting small trout lures as far as posible would you recommend?
amigo tengo una duda el guia hilos no tiene rolinera y tanpoco se puede actualizar en tu opinion es bueno ese sistema gracias
Would you ever consider doing a comparison of the 3 stradic models? It's hard to decide which one to purchase. FL, FK, CI4+
Not planning on that now...but when I say the FL is the best spinner south of the certate..that's all inclusive....I have a video comparing the Sustain to the Ci4+ and the ultegra. And the FL to the FK....so that pretty much covers everything. I'd choose the FL over the sustain and in all honestly probably the twinpower.
Is the ci+14 a better reel than the Fl, or can you not compare the two because the Ci14 is sealed for saltwater and the Fl isn’t ?
I had the old symetre. They were decent reels
Yes..simple reels are goid when you find a good one..
I really like the content you put up. Your break down on reels and explanation of what good and bad is just awesome.
If money is no object, would you still recommend the Spheros over the Stradic FL?
CMmuskie T if money isn’t an object, I’d go for the Stella;)
Thanks man! Stradic FL VS spheros inshore... Stradic FL all day every day. FL VS origins spheros sw... Two different classes of reels
👍 Awesome! Getting all caught up now.
Lolol.. There ya go :)
Informative...brilliant...many thanks...
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
The video i been waiting for since the thread hahaha
Does this size have the JDM & Non-JDM issue of Main Gear being Cold Forged and not?
thanks for the good info
You're welcome
back then, $100 reels were looked at as egg beaters that did what they’re supposed to do. The people who bought them knew that the sole purpose was to reel in the fish, nothing more.
NOWADAYS, most companies try to mask that “egg beater” mentality with fancy words such as “x protect” or “zion air rotor”.
I think it’s just plain stupid to try to sell these cheap gimmicks, when in fact the #1 reel at any price point is the Zebco 33 Spincaster!
Great vid once again , i am a shimano fan and still fish the 2500fj which is very smooth. The phantom hyper lt looks interesting especially the 6000 which is 12.5 ounces. A reel this weight and its high capacity is what shimano lacks or maybe i am wrong. I read on a site that it is based on the blast lt with bg gears. Penny for your thoughts???? It would be great if you could break down one.
I thought it was an aluminum tatula with alu gear not zinc like the bg but I'm not sure
@@TackleAdvisors For the love of God i can't find the site it was on facebook somewhere .Maybe they just assumed this because lets face it you are the one of the very few or should i say only person i know of who does a thorough teardown. Please keep up the good work and keep your eye on the phantom.
Hey bud did you do a review on the Spheros SP SW? The black & silver one & do you happen to know if a new version is being released this year?
Thanks
the sw spheros is almost unbeatable!.
New version for what?...could improve something like going from 3 to 5 drag washers in 8k/10k. And present it with fast ratio(as gosa) and 14k spool and 25k (kill the BG and almost the twinpower....behind Catalina)
DID u know Daiwa starting to make cold forge gears now? cnc gears are inferior compare to cold forge, they finally following shimano footsteps
the PROCYON LT has cold forge reel retail starting at $150, and theydidnt mention anything about mag seals ( think magseal is BS anyway, it doesnt do any good blocking water, as the centripetal force occurs while spinning the reel, particles will break off the magnet and flying everywhere as well as going to the bearing, then they assume when the reel stop spinning the particle get suck back into the center by magnet, but that after the water already get in the core)
Anyway enough of my rant, just hope u have a chance to review the procyon LT and see if it has any water resistant capability
tight line and keep up the good works.
Oh yea my Stradic FL came with the smaller handle grip?? In the picture advertised it had a bigger paddle style and I like those more😒 It was a bummer to say the least
I need a 400 inshore reel for red, buy the spheros inshore, daiwa bg, or the penn battle 3
"Used to chuck whole sea-robins for bait for VW bug-sized stripers in the canal with my boy Ham-Fist Nick back in the day" -The Garbage Man (deleted scene)
Theses reels over in Japan (presso 2025 c )(presso 2025 H )(presso 2025) one we’d site said they have 10/1 and the other one said 12/1 how can you compare it to certate LT and the other hi end daiwa reels
Will the stradic fk spool fit and work properly on the spheros reel?
Scooby is it possible to answer my biggest question ? Is the process of forged alum. the same across all shimano reels plus pinion , worm shaft, spool shaft, spool materials , different ar clutch ? Is it only or mostly the main gear coating plus more bb's , the stradic fl killed everything in this aspect !
As far as I can tell. It's all the same material.....same process, same design...just different surface treatment. Similar to what daiwa does...even though i was told the USA market exist uses a triple hard coat (which I think is bullshit) And yeah....the new stradic literally was a kill shot to most of the shimano line up in terms of on the water needful things. Spools may differ a bit the clut out of the stradic fl is the same catalog number as the new stella....I needed a replacement when I accidently flung it across the room...the only reason they had it in stock was because it was a stella part...(made in japan too)
Tackle Advisors
Wow , can't beleive it that u have answered me this quick many thnx from arab gulf, i was woundering for some years now n was in need from some one like urself to confirm it , thanks a million .
I need your guidance.
I am mixed between the Spheros sw and the penn spinfisher vi.
Here in Norway the cheapest spinfisher vi is like 40 dollars cheaper than the cheapest Spheros. I had a spinfisher vi but i lost it. I have felt the spheros in a store and i feels solid. What do you think?
I think the spinfisher is a more rugged reel and does everything the spheros would.. If the spinfisher is 40$ cheaper grab that and treat yourself to some nice line or some pluggage.
I love you♡thx man.:)
Just got one of these Spheros sw 4000, so far I love it almost as much as my Stradic FL 3000. I watched this video a few times just to convince myself to buy a spheros and not the Nasci FC
Would you recommend trading a Stradic C3000XG for a Spheros SW4000?
Is it true that the stradic FL 5000 spool can be used on the stradic fk 4000?
Scoob, you mentioned getting cheapie ball bearings for the handle. Where would I go to buy handle bearings? Specifically for my Certate 19 3000 CXH I think I have a seized bearing. Thanks
Hey man... Give the daiwa parts dept a call. I think they use bronze shielded bearings at least in steezes they do and their above average quality which is rare in that size. I'm at the gym now but I'll look up the ones I got awhile back. Shoot me an email so I see it.
@@TackleAdvisors Thanks, sent you an email.
Could you please briefly explain what makes the Spheros better than the BG? Both are on sale here for 85 euro's (vs 140 euro's for stradic FL)
The spheros which is for the US market is a better reel..$155..have landed 22 gts and lost 24 mostly with the spheros 6ksw 1 have field tested 42 reels and bg 3500..4000 n saltist did not go 25 hours before failing in hawaii ..waters..spheros 355 hrs.. saltx 6k 135 hrs..quantum cabo 112 hours..14 stradics less than 76 hrs..spheros 4ksw has topped the 14 atradics popping 2oz lures for Gts
@@JOEOLIVASWWJ I am from India and want to know from you, if 0.382 mm braid line of Sunline Siglon 80 lb line be spooled up in Shimano Sphereos SW6000 reel, how much length it will take to full the spool?
I have the Spheros and just bought a Stradic.
Have you heard anything about the new Stella are they going to bring one out for 2020
just different sizes to complete the lineup. New 4k ocea jigger as well which in my opinion is needed.
Can u please review Daiwa Ninja LT 4000-C 😉
Nick, is there a difference from the spheros in the video to the new 2019 one?(silver body)
Hey man.. I honestly don't know of a silver spheros.. Am I missing something?
Does it lay line in an hourglass shape like the Nasci?
Another head scratcher , I was at icast in july. Not one shimano employee on the floor was pushing this reel. It was thrown in the corner like a dirty dishrag.
That's really unfortunate.
Possibly due to a last minute addition...the procyon lt was like that at the bassmaster classic...they didn't even know anything about it...I have on camera me stumping mark mills over and over again ...he asked I not put it out and I obliged....it was all in fun..but they literally unpacked the reel for th first time after they built the booth.
Tackle Advisors
Possibility. Funny , I had to shim my FK when it came out also , excessive handle play. Thanks for the work on the vid brudda. 👌🏻💪🏻🎣
Will replacing the right body side bushing with a bearing make the reel smoother? Have you seen some upgrade videos doing that and was wondering what effect it actually has on the reel
Normally bushing to bearing swaps aren't worth it. As it's difficult to source good bearings... For the 15 to 20$ shipped for a guaranteed good bearing (cheapies can be hit or miss). Just go stradic FL and get lotsa other bonuses and you don't have to tear down a fairly complex reel...
@@TackleAdvisors thanks I appreciate it:)
Hi..Just got Shimano stc travel rod 270 EH 50-100g...any reel recommendations that would be good match...was thinking bg...but spheros looks interesting too
Tatula elite dissection coming soon?
Would you buy a spheros, nasci or Fuego LT
ill have to keep my bg's, stupid how they did'nt include a bearing on the side i put the handle...and folding handle is just on more useless nook the grime can do wonders in the salt. also, no bigger than 4k (lt) sizing..anyways, my LT and BG will hold up great until either shimano, daiwa or penn get something out that really is a step-up in quality/features and killing in the price department.
I am with you on love of my BG’s,but also love my Stradics.
The Shimano bearing to replace the bushing is $9,cheaper on line.
I won’t buy it at retail $120 but if I can get 20% off it will be my new kayak/wade reel.
Penns starting to up their game. They’re using cnc gears now in the fierce so im interested to see what the battles coming out will bring
You're absolutely right man, as soon as I see inshore or anything saltwater I get turned off by it. I respect your opinion highly brotha. Btw I LOVVVVE MY STRADIC FL!!!! THANK YOUUUU!!! You have no idea what these videos does for a serious bass angler like myself.
hi, can you recommend a good source for shims? Trying to fix my Fierce LL 2500 and 4000
Honestly call penn....they'll likely send ya them for nothin
Which one you guys recommend for jetty and pier saltwater fishing size 5000 ? Stratic FL or SARAGOSA SW? Thank you
Saragosa is gonna handle the abuse better
I think this one, in the 3000 size 6.0/1 ratio, is gonna be my new 8lb monofilament reel.
There are definitely worse choices.. Thats for sure
What do you think of this one vs the Ultegra? I need a pair of 1000 and 3000 sized reels, it’d be really nice to have a matching pair.
Hello , I recently purchasethis reel and it’s noticeable the gear lash , the handle seems to wobble more then I like , it wobbles like it seems that is not tight enough
Add a metal shim like you mentioned in the video will solve it ?
Greetings from Portugal
Likely that would solve it. I'd return it and ask for one shimmed better
Tackle Advisors thanks, keep the good work on the channel 👌🏻
Marketers are weird. Bass pro has a level wind reel they call the " catmaxx" I think it Is? And lots of people overlook it because they think it's only good 4 catfish. Even though it's a fantastic trolling/salmon/pike reel.
I know exactly the reel you speak of. Been around awhile..lots of guys troll with em. I think they're the same as they were almost 20 years ago...
Honestly it’s a pretty shit catfish reel cause it’s only rated for 10lbs max drag. No problem for channel cats but anything over 35 pounds is going to spool you
@@Ruggedjellyfishing hard to argue that point. But you can install carbon fiber drag washers and up the drag rating I'd imagine?
@@Voxguitarsrock it already has carbon washers. Might make a difference with higher quality washers, but drag diameter affects max drag more than the material
@@Ruggedjellyfishing good to know. Thanks for the reply.
Hey I’ve been looking to purchase a reel I can carry around in my car and just fish for spotted bass on the bay or whatever is in there wanted your opinion on a reel spinning 3000
Go simple... Spinfisher or Battle 3 would be my choice for a leave in the car forever reel
@@TackleAdvisors thank you so much for the reply I was gonna buy the the daiwa Saltist back bay it was gonna be my first daiwa, but now I’m gonna look at the battle
For fishing inshore out of a kayak, which would you buy. BG3500 or Spheros 4000? Can’t make my mind up 😆
Which one did you end up getting?
David Lopez BG4000. Very happy with it
The only good thing to come out of Shimano in recent yrs is the Stradic FL. They really screwed the spheros image but being a Saragosa user for over a decade, I really hope they dont fluff that up as well when a new one is released. Daiwa in the past decade have BLOWN Shimano out of the water. I was pro-Shimano before Daiwa have now left Shimano in the dust! I chose to buy a Saltiga Dogfight and a Catalina 5000 over Stella or Twinpower. I chose the Phantom Hyper LT 5000 over the Stradic FL , I chose a 2000 Exceler over a Sahara/Nasci, Sol III over a Sustain and don't even get me started on rods. The only two Shimano reels I now keep are the current Thunnus 12000 and Saragosa 20k reels.
we must not be alarmed!...SARAGOSA&SPHEROS SW are legends!!(missing 14k spool 69mm)....now the market is wider and there are good options from $130.
WIN CATALINA!(although it should bring the option of NO magsealded) and is that the TW contributes little more than a gosa at the double price
Or can any 5000 spool can be used on their 4000 size reel?
Is the handle on the Spheros reversible for wrong handed fishermen? I tried to reverse it and I can not get it the screw in on the right side.
Last I knew it was.... Ping shimano they'll likely send you a new one
I would like to ask! How strong these plastic gears on worm gearing??? I had problems with accepting Regeditity, could you help me!!
The idlers that drive the worm should last very very long.. Often longer than the pinion and main gear
@@TackleAdvisors how should it last if it's plastic it will worn out!!!
You should give away both reels with different colors on each
What rod is that? I like the fore grip design. Thanks
My friends busted tatula spinner
Is it a quality reel ?
I appreciate the time you take to make these videos and post them online. I'm putting together a travel spinning kit to take to salty locations, primarily from the beach. For example, I'm heading to Cabo soon, and plan to fish from the Pacific beach. I've picked up a Daiwa Ardito 5 piece 11' travel spin rod, and am looking for a spin reel to match with it. I wouldn't use this combo very often (for now), probably on my annual travel to sandy beach locations. There are so many "reel" options out there that all boast carbon fiber drags, X ball bearings, etc, and it's difficult soring through the chaff to find the wheat. I have a vintage Penn 8500 SS that is a super solid reel, but alas the reel foot won't fit into the rod reel seat, so the Penn will probably go up for sale and needs to be replaced. I have a Daiwa BG 4000 to match up to a 7' 3 piece travel spin rod.Any reel (brand, model, size) suggestions for the Daiwa Ardito surf rod? Penn Fierce II or III, Battle II or III, another BG...? Budget reels - Kastking, or?Thanks again for all of your work!
The bg is a great reel. Do you find that the 4000 is too small? You could go with the size up if you want. The spinfisher vi reels are also very nice then there's the spheros and Saragosa which I feel are the best surf reels under the salt x and van Staal
