My brain-> shimano
My heart-> DAIWA🤪
My wallet ---> Piscifun
Unless you compare the long term durability of each companies alum alloy micro-mesh gears. Daiwa seems to be stronger. Look at all the posts in forums of metanium owners having to upgrade to brass gears to get them not to turn noisy within a yr. Mine was the same . Same thing noticed with the Calcutta Conquests vs even the cheaper Lunas. The shimanons start out smoother but within 6-12 the daiwa is noticeable better with no change while Shimanos got louder and grittier. My 100 and 300 were both gears replaced under warranty b and were not throwing large swimbaits nor huge fish. Casting a few yards farther has little to no effect on 99% of fishing given the distances all the top reels reach.
@@tonykomer2997 I lean towards Daiwa. Have most Japanese brands. I'll try Kastkings. Just curious, what the hype is all about.
@@tonykomer2997 Ive been worried about the gear in my metanium but its been 2 years so far and its going strong. Maybe its cause I dont really go hard on the reel when it comes to hook sets and cranking the drag down. But id believe that reelz with bigger gear teeth especially made of brass would outlast the micro mesh aluminum gears.
@@tonykomer2997 i do also have a curado dc thats 2 or 3 years old that i use and abuse and that thing is still smooth. The only thing i dont like about it is the weak drag but that thing throws 50lb braid and ive yanked out so many good size fish on that thing. I have a diawa tatula sv that I need to put some time into, its really nice. Its rigged out to a flipping stet up. Im also getting a 2021 scorpion in the mail soon and im excited.
I've got THREE Metaniums now and I ABSOLUTELY love 'em. I like 'em so much that I also gave another Metanium to my brother-in-law for his upcoming birthday!
Bro I love your channel!!
I appreciate you giving glory to God!!!
Nice comparison of reel. All the best.
Great vid!! I've owned Abu's, Diawa's, Shimano's etc... Currently sling a Lews KVD & a KK Crixus Armour X. My point? I've seen the guts of that $70 phantom & they were excellent. I'd rather have 4 ot 5 of them than one of pretty much any of the others.
Back In the 80s the world record distance cast used to be held by the venerable ABU 7000. Not the 7000C, which had ball bearings. The plain 7000 model that used bushes instead. High quality bushes have very low start up inertia and maintain very high momentum. And I've often wondered why they're not used much In modern reels.
Without watching the whole video I knew Shimano was gonna win. Was there any doubt? Shimano ftw 🥇
Excellent! Finally one source to compare the “best of the best” without several individuals thoughts. Thank you! Got to go buy a new real.
Reel my friend
Awesome video I like how 13 fishing made into the top 4 sucks that it didn’t do better but oh well I might have to pick up one of the mgls
any video on the new CC 2021? 100 or 200? would be interesting to know if the 100 can beat the meta. either way, i'm pretty sure any of the shimano BFS trio reels will come out on top if it competed
Great vid! It’s no surprise that the Metanium outshined the others. The Daiwa Zilion SV TW has been a pleasure to use too. I’ve seen the same results between these two with my experience using them both for saltwater fishing.
Sold your Zillion yet? lol
@@andersriksson100 smaller, smoother, casts farther with less effort. The zillion is a great real, but it aint no Metanium
@@andersriksson100 yes, I see your point but look at the whole picture. The metanium is more refined, smoother, slightly better specs...I’ve fished both extensively in saltwater and I’ve caught big fish on both. I’m not putting down the zillion because it is a bad ass reel and I still use it...I’m just saying the metanium is better.
@@RXAngler how’s the zillion in the salt? I have a coastal and the drag is stuck:(
I new it the matanium was the winner as soon as I seen the video but great stuff and I appreciate your time and energy my friend
LOL!! The Bass Rise! I actually bought one a couple years ago when you posted the sale on them for $40. It's been an awesome reel for the most part. I swapped out the bushings for a $10 set of full ceramic bearings off ali Express. It's loud but absolutely bombs lures.
You don't mention fishing line.
what line do you use?
greetings, I'm from Indonesia, I like casting too
I love reel kastking and shimano
It may have been stated at some point in the series but are the reels put thru general pre-use prep. Are the bearings flushed and all use the same oil type and amount? I have seen so much inconsistencies in how lube oil and grease is applied at the factory.
The concept reel is pretty good just gotta get it for the right price
All top 5 were within the distance of 150' - 156' which means that the top 5 reels average deviation from max recorded distance was 3' or 2% difference in performance. This was a fun video, interesting test. Because casting difference in the top 5 was not enough to worry about, the more important test would be durability under stress.
Real Test, may I ask what was the setting you had on the Shimano Metanium to win this test? Was the break 2 on and 2 off + very loose spool tension? What was the setting on the side plate? I like to dial in my Metanium just like your test here with throwing 1/4 oz. Thank you in advance!!
If you run one brake on and knocking spool tension and then vary your side plate braking force you will be able to rocket any bait with a bit of thumbing. This is with braid.
A good video would be taking those 2 Bushing reels and replacing them with ceramics and doing a casting comparison... then that would eliminate the question is it the bushings or the tech in other parts of the reel allowing for a greater cast distance.
I did a video on that with the Concept Z a few years ago. Some Japanese fishing vlogger replaced the bushings on the bass rise with bearings and did a casting comparison. The results were a wash. The bearings cast farther with certain lures, the bushings cast farther with other lures
For some reason I thought the surprise reel was going to be the scorpion DC lol
I filmed this before I got that reel
My opinion is that the nylon bushings cause for far far less friction. Every bearing is added friction. I have a kastking should be called kingofbearings 11+1. It cast fine super smooth for what it is. But the more bearings the more friction and more things to go wrong, get dirty, make noise. Etc.. but it’s the MegaJaws series and has an open port for maintenance 👨🔧 which is super cool awesome vide bro
Love your videos, leaving out the 2016 Antares is mystifying. If anything this would show the difference between the targeted lure weights.
I left it out because I wanted to showcase a different DC reel. Each year Im going to try to have different versions of DC brakes enter as well as others
He already did a comparison of them both
Good verse!
METANIUM MGL BABY!!!
Exsence Antares Metanium 2020 the best ❤
28:13 my speed demon also has braking issues and noisy ones at that. Found 4 centrifugal and 5 on the quick adjust to be the sweet spot with the tension engaged to a quick fall
I actually have a kastking assassin. I have had it since 2018 or 2019 and it works really well for me
nice video!
ขอบคุณ
Interesting you could only get the brake system down to 8 on the Phantom. If you could have gotten it down to 4 or 5 I think you could have gotten 5 or 6 more feet out of it. Love my phantom.
Piscifun does sell a shallow spool for the phantom on their website for $15. Great video though! Your videos have made me spend a lot of money over the years lol!
Hahaha, me too. I spend a lot money because of his recommendations!
I asked them to send it to me a couple of years ago, but their employee sent the wrong spools lol.
What kind of line and pound did you use on each reel? Some reels are better with certain lines and line weights
We need a new casting Olympics for 2022
Is the Bass Rise the Same but new gen of the Caenan? I have cheap Shimano Caenan. And it basically outcast my Curado K Dawia Tatula . Old School 50e. SLX.
Bass Rise is the cheapest JDM Shimano Baitcaster. Same frame and body as the current USDM Caenan with the red handle. But the Caenan has centrifugal brakes.
Have you ever tested any sixgill fishing reels?
I "LOL'd" when you fake grabbed the daiwa! Great video. Been watching you for years.
I know that caused some fanboy panic attacks lol
I’d be curious to see how that kastking mg12 would stand up in these test.
Why don't you test also Tailwalk reels 😢😍?
I'm wondering if there is a significant difference in casting distance between the new metanium and the bantam? The design of the both baitcasters is very similar: silmilar spool weight, the spool is supported by same bearings.
Not that much. For $350 you can not go wrong with Bantam (great frog reel & plugs) . Excellent real & excellent quality. Ive been looking at Calcutta conquest for pitchin/flippin , it's pricey but this compact reel is excellent for this technique (round reel) & is a powerhouse of a reel. Tightlines.
@@danielmcnish6555 Thanks for your comment. Two years ago I was looking for a baitcast reel for zander fishing (similar fish to walleye). Usually, I use small swimbaits (3"-5") with jigheads 3/8-3/4oz. My proirity was to have a durable baitcater, that cast as far as possible. So, I considered to buy a Bantam mgl, but my colleague said, that the bantam isn't a good choice, because it doesn't cast very well. He said that a Metanium would be the best choice (He is a fan of Metanium 13, but he has a Bantam mgl as well).
Now, I have two reels of Metanium 2020. Recently, I've compared Shimano parts diagrams (Metanium 20 and Bantam). I'm supprised, beacuse the both reels have the same bearings supported the spools and the same pair of gears. The spools have simmilar weight and line capacity, so we can expect, that the filled spool inertia should be similar. Therefore, I asked if there is a significant difference in the casing distnce. I haven't seen a direct competition betwen these reels on youtube.
@@mikes1332 Most influencers who are paid in some sort of way won't do those comparisons as its shimano versus shimano in meaning if they are always advertising "shimano" their goal is to influence you into buying a "shimano" & therefore don't like to show one lose a competition regardless if it's against another shimano. Pull up JP Derose as he has recent video on the Bantam frog fishing. Bantam is a excellent throwing reel as well as Metanium.
If your looking for quality & durable reel less pricey to throw those bigger baits also checkout Shimano Tranx 200 - 300 series. These are catered more for your style/technique as well as Diawa Tatula 300 series & Abu Garcia Toro series & beast series. Hope this helps you out & good luck & your welcome. Look for my new brand of baits coming 2022
~ Reign Creative~ .Hand poured soft plastics & custom rods. All top shelf products at affordable prices & angler focused. Best designed freshwater rods on functionality in the business with focus on lightness whether your throwing 7'9 heavy casting/flipping or 6'8 finesse spinning. Tightlines bro.
@@danielmcnish6555 true, you're right about influencers. In my country we have a lot of "testers". In reality they advertise lures, rod, reel...and other stuff evetywhere: youtube, facebook, instagram etc. In the test, the products have no disadvantages ;). I know, the these people have agreements with the producers and they have to be acitive in social media.
For heavier lures for pikes I have Tranx 301 and Curado 301.
Great test but I missed the Aldebaran...
For lightweight, do you like curado BFS or metanium MGL?
I dont have the Curado BFS yet, they are all sold out or back ordered
Very good complete and informative , Shimano needs to make a lighter version of the metainium with the exact same spool , call it a Core , will sell like hotcakes.
The only lighter reel than a metanium from shimano on the USA market is the Aldebaran 50 mgl.
@@aarondavis8224 I said Shimano 'should' make a reel with the same spool, the Aldebaron has a smaller spool and does not cast as far.
@@rossionq110 and I was letting you know it's already the 2nd lightest reel except for a reel with a much smaller spool. I'm sure if you find a way to lighten it up and still keep the performance shimano will hire you. I've never once heard a person pick up my metanium and say it's too heavy lol.
@@aarondavis8224 Again you putting words in my mouth, who said it was too heavy, I have 3 JDM models on other rods, you obviously dont have a 2.4 ounce Sarge rod . It was just a thought
@@rossionq110 I never put words in your mouth. I said I've never had anyone tell me a metanium was heavy. Why are you talking about rods now? And how do you know what I own? My point to all of this is the metanium is shimanos flagship reel and their top engineers designed this. They are already using very light materials but they have to balance the materials, performance and durability to make a great reel. They didn't keep it at its weight for shits and giggles. Btw all my metaniums are JDM, you aren't the only one with this equipment
The Antares is super nice but it’s also a very large reel.
Thats why I rarely fish it.
@@THEREELTEST Thanks for the reply. Always check you out before buying a reel. Love the content. My wallet doesn’t though!
I’ve been dying for a Curado BFS but I’m a lefty any Shimano suggestions for a different option?
Agreed, and heavy too…it’s one of my least favorite reels to actually fish with, while the steez 70 is probably my favorite, but that price tag is insane.
Awesome job on making the build up and intros like a real major televised sporting event.
The cons is I don't like the long talking build ups of major sporting events.
Jk, great job.
I still Rock the Metanium MGL 16
me too great reel.
Yeah, still a top reel! If I used that instead of the 2020 It probably would have won too lol
I found with the zillion 4 was the lowest I could go also.
I also found it marks up very easily with scratches and dents
Ever tested sixgill reels? Like to see and hear what you think about these reels!
Well, I guess time to go buy a 3rd Metanium 🤣
Off course, Rembrandt 😂
The newer revo 5 reels are sickly casting, cast way better than the revo 4s, cast further than my spinning setup, on a foot shorter rod!! They have been great reels. Only downside is the daiwa and especially Shimano Curados do feel higher quality and are smoother. But casting, i dont think there are a large amount lf reeels that throw longer.. very very free spool. With the mag Trax, havent had one single backlash either, as i fight hard with now on my curado 200M..
U should do the 2017 excense dc. I feel it outcast the antares dc
Oof, the thought of chucking a weightless fluke with any of these reels makes me shudder. I mean I’m sure it’s perfectly fine…but I’ve been on my aldebarans for weightless flukes for years now (big prespawn-bluegill spawn bait around me). I can’t imagine a better suited reel for those. I’m sure it exists but man, are the aldes comfortable with weightless plastics
First thing I do with Daiwa adjust the Zero adjuster.
Can an Antares DC be purchased in the US?
i think if you put all the same grease and oil in all the reels then do the test again i think they would be pretty close to each other . Market advertising does not mean they know how to use a fishing reel and i bet half of them never fished ever in there lives .
i own aldebaran 31hg mgl and metanium mgl.....when i bomb cast metanium... it go beyond my expectations everytime....
Shimano Metainuim dc or mgl??
Mgl for distance and dc for the noise ;). I personally like the dc. The distance difference isn’t a big problem for me.
Are these US or JDM models?
A doyo coba is more suited for long casts... compared to the liger30.
Matenium right hand is sold out everywhere, got lucky and found last one on Amazon coming from the US not Japan ....wooho
A lot of the JDM can still be to your house in 3-4 days
@@Tallnerdyguy
I don’t trust buying from over seas , been burned before.
@@johnhanks7782 Asian Portal has several right hands for like $280. They are legit. I just received my 4th reel from them
Coastal sv tw 150 hsl best reel ever
U should cast the t3 using the fluke.
What about the Antares?
wanted to change it up this year and use a different DC reel.
My 13 concept C will smoke all these reels. I was casting a half oz frog the other day and completely ran all the line off the spool to my knot. 50 lb seaguar flipping braid. 7’4” med heavy cashion frog rod. Best frog setup ever made.
holy.... 400 for the Boss. You can get a 2020 met for less than 300 usd in Japan.
yep.. The BOSS does cast well, just not a $400 reel to me
@@THEREELTEST 13 fishing is overpriced garbage
I have 4 concept Bosses, $268 was the highest I paid for any of them and all were brand new.
I guess the Antares still the king then!
Who knows... I just wanted to battle different reels this year
We already know who are the casting olympians🧜♂️Shimano🧜♂️
Is a heavy spool not better for more Cast Distance oO
Bass rise = Shimano Caius ?
nooo.... the bass rise has a much lighter spool and magnetic brakes
Love how sub 100 dollar Bass Rise is on one level with 300 dolllar reels
Yeah the light spool in that reel makes it a killer
@@THEREELTEST those s3d spool, are insane
It wont be on par fpr long , those plastic bushings wear fast amd performance is then gone , but if you dont fish often i supose it wouldnt matter much.
@@EChunter sure enough, but slx, caenan, casitas got some pretty good casting specs, and 4 bearings are just doing fine
Solid video but to me and my wallet the Zillion came in first place $120 cheaper that's a big win and a new rod 😁
If you say so
I sold all of my 2020 metanium b's for the new zillions. The cast just as far, skip like a dream and the versatility is far better with reducing back lashes
You really think 3 yards is gonna catch you more fish dont you? 😂, damn I like your vids but sometimes you're a bit over the top ngl. You should one day start reviewing reels as a whole and devising a system to score them under so people can actually know what the reels are like and which one to buy not just how far the max cast distance will be at your local lake! And please, try not to reply with "yes it will certain times of year this and that" because no it wont, youre not spinning off the rocks for tuna, you're baitcasting for bass in local lakes and man made ponds. Hopefully you take something positive from this so your channel can develop and cover the whole spectrum of these reels which will help viewers greatly, so I do truely hope you take something positive here "instead of just getting triggered"🤦♂️😂.
What 3 yards does is.. catch more fish... and butt trigger certain people LOL
@@THEREELTEST Knew it 😂, theres a difference between someone being arrogant and being "triggered", only one that seems to get triggered is you every time someone says 3 more yards don't catch more bass 😂. And what do you know just as I suspected you took nothing from that and replied as your arrogant self 🤦♂️, theres a reason thousands of viewers are not too fond of you, let me guess why, is it because they're triggered?😂 Or is it because you can often come across as an arrogant prick🤷♂️
@@cozab5487 I'll take a solid well made reel over any plastic framed reel. 15 feet of casting distance be damned, I'll use what feels good in hand. I learned my lesson buying from off brands when I snagged a Piscifun Spark Pro from amazon on a whim, it casts well but it flexes so much while fighting small pond bass that I'm afraid that its going to come out of the reel seat, I don't even use it.
3 yds could be the difference between pulling the lure through the strike zone and falling short of it. As Dom Toretto would say..... "it dont matter if you win by an inch or a mile..... winnin is winnin"
@@THEREELTEST if that 3 yards lands it in the middle of the school of busting fish versus coming up short, then yes, yes it does lol
mgl 70 or mgl 150?
I mean do you need bigger line capacity or cast lighter baits?
@@THEREELTEST what model in your video?
Load them up with 20 lb P-Line CXX and a 3/4 oz bait and see which one wins. I’d say a Curado K or Tatula 200 would beat them all. That’s more my style of fishing in Texas. That light line will get your heart broken here.
@@andersriksson100 I know what it was I watched the vid. That’s why I said do it with a 3/4 oz bait and heavy line. These low capacity reels will run out of line ( 20 lb copoly diameter ) or slow down because the spools are so small while the Curado and Tat 200 have plenty of spool capacity left. I’m pretty sure they’d beat those small reels.
@@andersriksson100 yes but he always puts small diameter lines on all his reels. Makes a big difference large vs small diameter line. When a spool starts getting low on line at the last half of the casting distance that really cuts distance because not as much line is coming off the spool per each revolution. At the beginning of a cast on a full spool about 3” of line is coming off per revolution. When the spool gets low toward the end about 1” is coming off. Large line runs out fast on small spools. Sure those super expensive reels will outcast a Curado but I seriously don’t think so when both are spooled with 20 lb copoly. Spool capacity makes a big difference with big diameter line.
So...you say to be fair, you want to include a 200 reel? How about a "heavyweight" Olympics, in addition, not instead.
And if you finesse fish, yes, even in Texas, you aren't casting 3/4 oz with 20lb line.
@@Tallnerdyguy you don’t throw 3/4 oz spinnerbaits, 3/4 squarebills, 3/4 oz topwaters, 3/4 oz jigs on 20 lb copoly? Very seldom do I finesse fish. Only in ponds. I’m usually always fishing big baits like swimbaits. 10” worm is finesse fishing for me. I want to see heavy line casting competition. My home lake is full of timber and a double digit will sure break you off especially in deep water. I’ve lost my share and caught my share of them.
Our preacher told us not to support atheism, I am so confused because the majority of all my fishing supplies are from non Christian countries... what do I do?
Does he tell you what underwear to put on every day as well? Non Christian doesnt mean atheist. You may want to think things out before trying to look "cool" in the comment section
@@THEREELTEST Not wanting to look cool it just concerned me. You always put information at the start of videos and I try to listen to you also. It is just a confusing time with the END so close and I just was seeking advice, only wanted help.
I’m getting dizzy watching the reels go round and round and round. Stop it now.
watch it again
@@THEREELTEST
Thanks but my Equilibrium can’t take it. Good test though, but did you say all the line was the same, 8lb, 10lb, I might have missed it. Thanks, good test video.
This guy can’t set a reel properly 🤣
It’s odd that you spent “a good 30 minutes tweaking the brakes and messing around with the spool tension” on the 13 fishing boss but didn’t touch the Zillion spool tension/zero adjust. I’ve bought multiple zero adjust reels and the tension is set a little different from reel to reel, they all needed to be fine tuned for max performance(like any other reel). But given your weird bias and childish obsession over “fan boy” nonsense, I guess its not surprising you’d handicap the Daiwa.
My 21 zillion consistently outcasts my met mgl by about 5-10 feet with 1/4-1/2oz baits, but that’s nothing to get excited about.
Where it really shines is control, casting predictability, skipping, pitching, casting in wind & reduced backlashes.
I do prefer the ergonomics on the Met though, as well as the non-T wing line guide.
Both are great reels that will always have a place in my boat.
Only a fanboy would get upset when I say fanboy... fanboy... and as the typical fanboy you are.. you dont like my videos because I actually show proof. Unlike you fanboys who make up stories and expect people to take your word for it about how your Daiwas outcast this reel and that reel blah, blah, blah... If your story is true(which I doubt) that just means you dont know how to set up a Shimano... period.
I got that demon elite reel they are junk and the zephyr are junk I got my money back people don’t buy them you going to be sorry I told you so 🤢🤢🤮🤮👎👎
Daiwa Zillion $$$ Might as well by Abu Garcia products
