Daiwa’s fall apart aesthetically, Shimanos fall apart mechanically. Pick one.

Awesome job man! I admire your intelligence! Thanks

I feel like I picked up on the same sentiment about 7ish years ago, but my speculations about their strategy and implementation was a bit different, at least in the American market. I think Daiwa has raced to push a little performance into the massive low-middle price points of the market, perhaps with a willingness to cut corners in order to do so. If you looked at their US offerings in the first half of the 2010s, it's pretty boring. It felt like you had to pony up for a Stradic to get something that actually started to feel nice. I think Daiwa changed that in 2016 with a BG that felt very nice for a seemingly impossible price. Shimano released a Nasci in 2016 that was rock solid, but I think it took them till the 21 iteration of the Nasci to punch back with more than just the value of durability.

I’m a reel trigger guy and shamano is the only company making them

I own the 23 Calcutta Concrest BFS. Will the setup you put together for your test, be good for bass fishing? Using my 23 Concrest BFS and the 6ft Huntsman?

Amazing video, thanks for the hard work!

You got good taste sir! 👍👍

When I use spinning reels, I love Shimano. Baitcasting, I choose Daiwa. Zero wind knots with Shimano. Hardly any bird nests with Daiwa. More simple to figure out brakes on Daiwa as well. Just my opinion 😊

Rod shimano, reel daiwa

Thank you for your amazing job doing the video in English I love those reels Japan made is always the best quality in the world

What reel will balance pretty good with the flyssa

Does the Stella balance pretty well with the flyssa?

Awesome video. Thanks

I have daiwa and shimano reels and spinnings. For some reason, I prefer shimano. Ergonomics, click noising, lauching, feeling... and I really try daiwa, but shimano for me is better.

This is why i have a stradic on a tatula elite rod and vice versa. Why? Just to trigger fan boys.

What's the jig trailer?

Great explanation and video! Thanks

It’s all a money thing. I’ve fished for probably 45 years. I’ve used them all and as of now I choose Daiwa. I could be out in my Ranger boat, with all the electronics and all the latest gear and I know an old guy that will have his flat bottom boat with no electronics, old Zebco reels and a 1980s Abu Garcia bait caster and maybe a couple of open face rods and reels, and six out of 10 times outfish everybody in the tournament. It’s just the world we live in today. The latest and greatest sales! But, do we really need it? None of those guys back in the 70s and 80s when I was growing up watching those tournaments on TV, had any of it.

My preference is Daiwa for baitcasters and shimano for spinning reels.

This is an absolutely fabulous video. Thank you!

Attention RUclips lure content makers: This is how you make a lure video. Excellent work Sir!

Can you fit the 100 spool on the 23 bfs as well? Im trying to create a xg calcutta conquest with a 100 size spool

Can you put a BFS spool in this reel?

I just serviced dads old Abumatic that I learned to cast with, that reel has been on countless of mountain fishing trips, I have my grandads Abu Garcia ambassadeur from the 1950's all works fine. For the last 5 years I have used the Shimano 17 Scorpion DC with upgraded bearings. I have the 21 Scorpion DC, but I really like the balance the 17 DC gives me on the rod, it weighs nothing.

Thanks for the great review! I plan to use it for mainly crankbait applications such as OSP Blitz Max, Nishine Chippawa RB Blade. Do you think the reel is tough enough for OSP Blitz Max DR or the Megabass Deep x 300? I fish mainly open water from shore so I use 8lb Seaguar R18 LTD. Planing to pair it with my P5 Madbull.

They're both the same to me made in Japan it's like you like short rice or long grain 😊

Loving the videos. What leader knot do you tie for the 8 Slick v2? I’m using it and want to know what others use.

how do you ? cast with gloves ? i would not be able to thumb it with those

By far, the best underwater video for top water lures on the Internet.

wtf is wrong with those daiwas now ( 2 to 3 years ) !!!

I went from Daiwa to Shimano, hands down Shimano is much smoother than Daiwa. Daiwa feels clunky when palming compared to Shimano.

Thanks for sharing!!!

i owned two daiwa reels but mostly i'm just sticking with Shimano because i love their aesthetic over Daiwa, plus there's no official distributor for Daiwa in my country so im not familiar with Daiwa's products. but in the end it's just like comparing Toyota and Honda, they re both good and reliable.

Huh,?

Thanks for a great, in depth review! Could you answer one question please? I fish jerkbaits from a high bank and I jerk sideways, not up and down, so long rods are not a problem for me. I am looking for a long spinning rod with a good tip section for throwing light 3/16 to 1/4 jerkbaits. Is the tip on the Flyssa good for this application?

Awesome overview. Thank you.

i own both shimano and daiwa and i find the shimano to be easily service.shimano internal parts are of good quality.daiwa internal parts are complicated.

Shimano is a bit easier to replace or modify parts. Daiwa are seals better.

I have dwiacoastol 200 baiþ caster it my best reel ever and i have been fushibg 60 years

I miss the turret view- Mode in this Video 😂😂 it would have been the icing on the cake 🍰🍰

Great video! I have a question for you…have you ever used a shimano Metanium DC 70A reel? If so, if you could get the DC 70A or a 24 Calcutta conquest 30HG for the nearly same price, what reel would you choose for casting 1/8 oz - 3/8 oz lure weights? The DC 70A looks to be 1.7 oz lighter than the CC-30HG….(aluminum gear vs brass gears?)….that’s a fairly substantial difference in weight.

Im a bass, so hear me out.... We actually like the Whopper Plopper and the Splash Tail.. Everything else just pisses us off enough to try to eat it to shut it up.

I talked to the Bass....they said they like the Whopper Plopper.

Great video 🙌🏾😎
