Howzit fishos, I have recently gotten into rock and surf fishing in East London and I’m really enjoying, haven’t really caught anything yet, but I’m sure I’ll start soon. I always hear you guys talking about different spots around the yellow sands to cefani area. Why not make a video where you go on google earth and you go along the areas around east London and show on the map all the spots you guys refer to. For instance dead man’s gulley, verandah rocks to name a few. I’m super stoked to give some of these places a try one day. Keep up the awesome content 💪🏼🎣
Hey FISHO🤙🏻🎣 We have done that on some of our older videos (GPS shots from Google Earth), but no point in repeating them for each video. Verandah, dead man’s, boulder bay, the chair… they all there🤙🏻🎣
you should do a reel ratchet sound battle test review video. i am kinda keen on the tesoro but after using the salina, i'm kinda weary of getting a tesoro. i'm worried about small/non-existent drag ratchet sound lol. i got a gosa and i can hear the thing from the other side of the pier.
Almost every reel has a brass pinion gear. Also, hagane isnt a material in shimano terms... it means steel in japanese but shimano uses it to emphasize strength.
I got my first slammer because of the ipx6 rating....after I found out that the gosa is ipx8. I moved over to gosa and never looked back. The new okuma is ipx7 I believe.
@@FishingDBN I’m not saying it’s not strong… I’m saying I’m not sure I like it🤣 I think it’s a great reel, and would be a top contender for me in this price point
Good day Fishos, which of the Tesoro's will be more or less the body size of a 8500 Slammer the 18 or 20 000? I have a 20 000 Saragosa for shark fishing but the reel is just to bulky for me, thinking of buying a Slammer iv 8500 but would like to consider the Tesoro aswell.
Hey fisho… I went straight to the big boys at Okuma to ask🤙🏻🎣 18k Tesoro would be better. I must say, despite fishing with a slammer for about 7 years (3 and 4), I am going to upgrade to the Tesoro this year. It’s an amazing reel!!!
@@willietheron7809 believe it or not… yes! IPX rating is higher, bearing count is higher, and the more I fish with the slammer, the more the ratchet (or lack of) sound annoys me. The Tesoro has a great ratchet sound… although it’s not a Gosa🤣
Hey Fisho🤙🏻🎣 We are not too familiar with that reel, but if I were you, in that price point, I’d consider a look at the Okuma Salina 14000. We did review it in our latest video🤙🏻
Hey bud I’d say it’s around the slammer/saragosa class… however features are better than both, so for me- puts it in a higher class, but not at twin power level😉
@@untraceablefishing yeah.....I'm torn between being to pick up Penn Authority or Twinpower ...I already have Gosa 5000xg and looking for upgrade....if Tesoro worth for upgrade than Gosa...I might considered it if this reel comes close to Twinpower and Authority...
@@streetsofuptown we love the Tesoro (we own one obviously), but the twin power is another beast that we absolutely love!🥰 It’s a tough call you have there
@@untraceablefishing so, for price wise...tesoro better bang of the bucks there for budget wise... If no budget constraints here...what would you pick between Twinpower and Authority? I'm dilemma for Twinpower SW2021 and Authority....but might considered Tesoro after your explanation... Can you recommended one for this?....tough call for me to decide because Stella and Saltiga are far ahead in terms of price wise...
Hey Arnold On paper, not a bad reel to be honest. I think we just read up a bit more and go see one for ourselves before commenting too much. But 65lb drag is WILD🤣 9+1 BB is good, and holds onto a lot of line. I see it’s only water resistant though, which for the price is a pity… But we must get our hands on one and give some proper feedback🤙🏻 How are you finding it?
@@majestetv4451 you want to know what we would do… go Tesoro. We looking forward to using one soon- but on paper it’s the winner, looks and feels great!
**** PLEASE NOTE: Tesoro has a brass main and pinion gear! this only adds to its presence as a top class reel!
I have the 20000 size Tesoro
Filled with 960m of 50lb braid.
Extremely strong and super comfortable on a 15ft rod.
They’re amazing reels🔥
Love the drag sound of okuma reel. But Penn slammer is for me. This thing never fail no matter what condition.
Penn are great. We love them!!!
But all are really good- hard to pick besides brand lotalty

That’s not a bad idea… we have the mics as well, so must link them up and see how it goes🤙🏻

So stoked that you added this comment🤙🏻🥳 Hagane has been a topic of debate our side for a while🤣

They are all great reels… hard to pick a favourite. I think it’s down to brand loyalty for us 🤙🏻
Carbon fiber handle knob for comfort and weight reduction
That handle feels very finicky hey… I like it, but I also don’t🤣
@@untraceablefishing have faith, its light but strong, the carbon mix allows for that boet
@@FishingDBN I’m not saying it’s not strong… I’m saying I’m not sure I like it🤣 I think it’s a great reel, and would be a top contender for me in this price point
I am after a Slammer IV 6500 DX, after view this I am going to wait for Okuma. What size the Toreso for with Slammer 6500?
Look at the Tesoro 10 000.
I think I’ll take it over a slammer (and I fish with one)- but looking at moving to Tesoro soon🤙🏻
Why dont they bring in the 6000 size Tesoro for South African anglers.
That’s something I’d have to ask🤔
Good day Fishos, which of the Tesoro's will be more or less the body size of a 8500 Slammer the 18 or 20 000? I have a 20 000 Saragosa for shark fishing but the reel is just to bulky for me, thinking of buying a Slammer iv 8500 but would like to consider the Tesoro aswell.

Do you really think it is an upgrade from a Slammer?
@@willietheron7809 believe it or not… yes!
IPX rating is higher, bearing count is higher, and the more I fish with the slammer, the more the ratchet (or lack of) sound annoys me.
The Tesoro has a great ratchet sound… although it’s not a Gosa🤣
Thank you so much for the replies, I will definately look at the Tesoro
Is it worth buying penn spinfisher SVii10500 for 135 dollars?
Did reply to your other comment🤙🏻 but we will do some research on this reel and try add a review in soon🤙🏻
Please review penn spinfisher SSvii10500
Hey Fisho🤙🏻🎣
We are not too familiar with that reel, but if I were you, in that price point, I’d consider a look at the Okuma Salina 14000.

How Tesoro compare to Twinpower and Penn Authority? Is it same bracket as those two or nearly close in term of design wise and performane ?

may i ask what do you guys think of the konger saltex 10 000
i just bought one and there is not alot of reviews of it

Which one is the best?
Honestly… just pick any🤣
They’re all amazing!
On paper, the Tesoro would win though!
We will hopefully fish with 1 in the very near future🤙🏻
@@untraceablefishing Thank you for your reply. Which one would you choose? I want to get suggestions from Master like you 😊
@@majestetv4451 you want to know what we would do… go Tesoro.

@@untraceablefishing thank you boss İ Love Youu 😊🥰
Got me the 10000 tesoro. Best investment I made for a reel. Lost all faith in saragosa with epicyclic gear on main gear splitting open on the 8000
All are great reels. But i'm sticking with my saltiga dogfight 5000. Can stop a blue whale
We won’t deny that’s a great reel🎣🤙🏻
lol, a blue whale🤣🤣🤣🤣
How much does this 14000 weigh ?
Hey Fisho… 714gm🤙🏻
@@untraceablefishing cheers !
I have the daiwa satist 6500 the model just before the MQ saltist how do you rate that reel
That’s still a great reel… we still need to add the MQ to this one, but with Tesoro being new, we thought it needed to be shown🤙🏻
That’s still a great reel… we still need to add the MQ to this one, but with Tesoro being new, we thought it needed to be shown🤙🏻

Easy one to do… we have 2🤣 will add to the list.
Penn Battle 3 coming up this week🤙🏻
I have saragosa
Amazing reel🤙🏻🎣
