Own stradic, Saragossa, Stella, , miravel, ocea jigger 2500ld, ocea jigger 4000- just crossed over and currently waiting on a 18000 saltiga have to say getting a bit excited
From the early days of Morning Tide- I thought you were the Shimano Stella Man! It was a good variety mix of the flagship reels between you, Briggsy and Cavy of Shimano and Daiwa. It's great to see you taking on the Daiwa reels- lol! Daiwa has really stepped up their game in these new line up of the Monoque body with the huge main gear!
Give us an update on that Certate 4000 after you get some good fish on it, mine has a little handle play but is still butter smooth have mixed feelings about the handle play but love the reel overall.
I guess because you guys drive on the left and are used to switch gears with you're right hand.... maybe in England and Japan its the same. Anyway I hold the rod with my right hand 😉
Great video 👏 some advise please. I dont have the budget for 3 reels. I need one reel for popping/ jigging for big gt and dogtooth. What size reel would you recommend for multiple use. Regards
Bro just a small question as regards to my fishing. How’s the daiwa BG series for medium light tackle. Your opinion on it I recently ordered a BG 3000 series
Does the paint on the new Saltiga seem tougher than on the old? (I saw you mention there's no sign of corrosion on the new reel yet.) Paint would come off the old reels easily.
New one sounds alot stronger, definitely glad you swapped to Diawa from Shimano too! What are your thoughts on the new Penn Slammer? Their drag system is a power house and a fair bit cheaper then a saltiga....
Beautiful piece of Kit! Very informative Video! Thanks, Brooksy! Just the thing now that I have accepted Shift Handover and the Long Night begins. Ya LEGEND!
18000 and 20000 are identical, only difference is 5-10g weight and the 20000 has solid 25% extra capcity, so get 20.000 reels, or sell the 18000 spool and get a 20000 instead! I've been spooled before, go big or go home, if ya have a reel with different spool sizes, always go with the biggest spool, can be the difference between landin' and loosin' the fish of a lifetime!
Good review mate.. when qld opens I'll have to invest.. what do you use for the reefie flats casting for trout, cod, wrasse an able to handle gt's to 15kg?.. is the 14k overkill?
If you look at exploded views of stellas and saltigas there are tons of small plastic parts in the stellas, the daiwas have way fewer parts and mostly metal.
I got the 14k in March when it first dropped, caught a few GT, a few blue fin trevs and a amberjack and its still brand new feeling. I got ygk pe6 super castman, fit the whole 300m spool. How much for your old saltigas?
It doesnt matter if its fishing reel a machine a gearbox or a engine if there is alot of load on gears bearings etc without grease or oil metal on metal they will chew out big time no matter who made it.
I have one question for you, which is the model that you buy it ? 20000H for the Tobizo TC80-200? In your opinion with model as your experience is the best for the Graphiteleader protone tuna until 180gr of plug and 405 grams weight with 2,59meters? Saltiga 14000XH, Saltiga 18000H or the new Certate 14000Xh or 18000H? thank you
@@JonnyBrooksFishing The size 9 Marias are rated to 330lbs. Are the size 10 Decoys the ones you use for GT? The Marias have better memory than circle splits in my experience, but I don't fish for GT so lol
Brass gears work well but have their breaking point just like anything else. Daiwa's gears are massive. Even the Zinc made gears in the BGs are huge and designed to last. I'm fishing on a pro level and speaking from experience. I have multiple Daiwa spinning reels and have not stripped a single gear yet. Even my $30 reels. A lot of them are over 7 years old. The only main gear I ever had to replace was from a Penn Battle ll that I bought back in 2016.
Do you hear any noise as you crank your reel saltiga 2020? Because I notice I hear noise on mine as I crank my reel. Like straight out from the box. I thought it is a defect and went back to the bait shop and the owner said it is normal for the saltiga. I’m wondering if you encountered the same thing or not? Does it completely silence when you crank or still hear any noise?
South African rock and surf anglers use these reels very differently. They are making noises like the shaft is bent. Many went back waiting to see what is the faults
using smaller sized Daiwa spinning reels in the past I had some problems with the anti-reverse ... especially in colder weather. did you had any negative experience with your antireverse? ... cheers ...
I feel some new Zenaq's being added to the quiver as well...... that Ikari is a psycho rod hey. What a fishing partnership........big nibs.......one with the gunnel.....get that Jimmy.....💯🤙
Just bought a 2020 DIAWA SALTIGA 20000-H , faulty straight out the box, binding noise and clicking once per rotation, sent it to Diawa UK in Scotland, they say they have a three week back log on Diawa spinning reels!!!
After inspection they said it’s normal fir the binding noise and a click once per rotation, they offered a replacement reel , i accepted the offer, the reel arrived and it was worse than the first, i returned the reel to the seller who refunded me so now still looking for a decent reel .
Thanks for the review, if I'm going to sink some real money in a good Reel, I want a review who really fishes and put some pressure on the reel and who knows their shit.
I can't ecen imagine a roken gear in a stella ore older saltiga, i believe that the new saltiga gear is a little bit stronger or at least the same than the old, cause it's made of duraluminum, the old was marine bronze what's more than double in strengh, cause of the hughe teeth in the 2020 it's pretty much on the same level, gives more cranking power than the old but not much more durable, they pretty much copyed this gear concept from the 2016 bg: weaker material, but larger gear with giant teeth creates a strong and durable gear, the pinion gear of the new model is bigger, but also of weaker material, i'm not sure if it's marine bronze or just brass, but the old was stainless steel, I really hope it's marine bronze cause brass wouldd be a definitiv downgrade.
did you follow back in the day when my Stellas were falling to pieces on every other trip? if you were you'd understand why I'm pretty psyched on a reel with strong gears haha.
How are those 2020 Saltigas treating you now? Almost time for the 12 month update.... 😉
Nice reel, I love my 2020 Shimano Stella SW 18,000; Using it for a year now with zero issues.
This is rare to see someone who speak about Saltiga 2020 after 6 months of intensive use on GT fishing.
Big like for that!
Cheers! 🍻🎣😉
Hi again. I forget to ask you.. How many meters of PE 10 Tasline you put on 20000 Saltiga?
Thank you for your time and comprehension.
Cheers 🎣
Amazing Review Brooksy! If there‘s a Daiwa Guy reading this: Please make a Saltiga MQ Dogfight in Black colour scheme happen!
Hey Brooksy, Really enjoy watching your're fishing videos. Keep up the good work!
Own stradic, Saragossa, Stella, , miravel, ocea jigger 2500ld, ocea jigger 4000- just crossed over and currently waiting on a 18000 saltiga have to say getting a bit excited
Well over due for the 12 months review! Cant wait to hear more abt the saltiga 2020!
From the early days of Morning Tide- I thought you were the Shimano Stella Man! It was a good variety mix of the flagship reels between you, Briggsy and Cavy of Shimano and Daiwa. It's great to see you taking on the Daiwa reels- lol!
Daiwa has really stepped up their game in these new line up of the Monoque body with the huge main gear!
Couldn’t find follow up review on reels brooksy. 🤔
Give us an update on that Certate 4000 after you get some good fish on it, mine has a little handle play but is still butter smooth have mixed feelings about the handle play but love the reel overall.
love the vids ..goto ask though ..why do you ozzies have the handle on the right ..you cast right handed then swap hands to reel ..lol why ??
hahahaha if i had a dollar for everytime someone asked that.. just how we do it mate.
feels better when hooked up
I guess because you guys drive on the left and are used to switch gears with you're right hand.... maybe in England and Japan its the same. Anyway I hold the rod with my right hand 😉
Only the Gumby anglers do it that way. Right handers should wind with the left.
South African anglers are the same. We throw with our left hands and reel with the right.
Ppbrooksy just saying I prefer the Stella but maybe I’ll try out the new saltiga
Great video 👏 some advise please. I dont have the budget for 3 reels. I need one reel for popping/ jigging for big gt and dogtooth. What size reel would you recommend for multiple use.
Regards
Watching these makes me wanna go gt fishing
What reel size of new saltiga are you recommend for a saltiga travel rod 30-120gr? Thanks.
I got the SALTIGA S EXTREM 6500 in red color for the australian marquet. Do you know it??? All aluminium body and spool...
How the Saltigas treating you now ?
How did you like the certate?
I bought a saltiga 14000 pg,haven got the chance to use it yet.loaded with 60lb braided sunline multicolour
Bro just a small question as regards to my fishing. How’s the daiwa BG series for medium light tackle. Your opinion on it I recently ordered a BG 3000 series
I got 120 lb braid on my saltiga 20000. Is it too heavy for the reel?
What is that box the reel is in, is that used for drying it out ?
Does the paint on the new Saltiga seem tougher than on the old?
(I saw you mention there's no sign of corrosion on the new reel yet.)
Paint would come off the old reels easily.
Yep, pretty pissed about that actually because it seems the 15 saltiga was bad for paint. My 12 isla's paint is in way better condition.
Thanks Brook. Had to wait for this review.
New one sounds alot stronger, definitely glad you swapped to Diawa from Shimano too! What are your thoughts on the new Penn Slammer? Their drag system is a power house and a fair bit cheaper then a saltiga....
SLAMMER lll is not new and competes in the MIDDLE RANK league with SPHEROS & SARAGOSA SW .... hs 8500 had no rival but now he has the gosa hs 18k!
Do you think a dogfight 2020 MQ could arrive?
Beautiful piece of Kit! Very informative Video! Thanks, Brooksy! Just the thing now that I have accepted Shift Handover and the Long Night begins. Ya LEGEND!
May i know what happened between you, briggsy and cavy?
Getting close to 12 months now
18000 and 20000 are identical, only difference is 5-10g weight and the 20000 has solid 25% extra capcity, so get 20.000 reels, or sell the 18000 spool and get a 20000 instead!

I have no idea what a graphite leader protone tuna is mate haha.
Simple answer- 18000 perfect for 80/200
Great video looking to buy won now was a little bit worried about buying in before I watched this would you recommend me buy the 2020 saltiga for gts
the best reel on the market for GT in my opinion with the bigger stronger gearing.
OK thanks hopefully put it to test when I get one with my Spartan pe6 rod which I have a Stella on now
Love the review man, gonna be picking on up soon for fishing on the beach and rocks
Gonna be putting it on a breakaway omega 10'6
Update please?
Give the Maria oval split rings a try
A GT would Bend those things by just looking at it haha
@@JonnyBrooksFishing The size 9 Marias are rated to 330lbs. Are the size 10 Decoys the ones you use for GT? The Marias have better memory than circle splits in my experience, but I don't fish for GT so lol
Which model are you using 20000 XH?
Hello Brother that can Rotate the arm from right to left.? thank you 😍
Yes brother
He should try an okuma makaira spinner.
Awesome
Love my 10k
Can we get a 6000 size?
I’ll never understand how you have less subscribers then those other two people Your videos are much better
Does someone know why he went from stella to saltiga? Apparently he just suddenly switched
He got paid by Daiwa to use Daiwa....
He had problems with his Stella’s.
He said he was sponsored. So even if the next is better, the sponsored one will always be more better even if it's Sh1t
Because shimano is trash there drags are a joke.
We’re you breaking gears on the newer or older stellas
Brass gears work well but have their breaking point just like anything else. Daiwa's gears are massive. Even the Zinc made gears in the BGs are huge and designed to last.

Just got my first daiwa reel. But don’t have a rod to pair with . Any recommendations on budget rods for gt fishing ?
Major craft giant killing
Black hole rods are amazing

What is the price?

there are no anti reverse in Daiwa "Saltiga" models
I feel some new Zenaq's being added to the quiver as well...... that Ikari is a psycho rod hey. What a fishing partnership........big nibs.......one with the gunnel.....get that Jimmy.....💯🤙
Can you lend me the old saltiga
Should ask for the old Stella instead mate😂🤣
What is difference between xh h p?
gear
Yeeeew!!
Yeah Brooksy, your the man bruzz

BIG BROOKSAY U MELON!!!!!!!!!!!!! LETS GO
Thanks for the review, if I'm going to sink some real money in a good Reel, I want a review who really fishes and put some pressure on the reel and who knows their shit.
yew thanks for the review very informative.
Watching this makes me feel like i need a 2020 saltiga🥺
Other reels like? 5:35
I need this review tnx

first good vid
daiwa have taken the kiss principle ......keep it simple + strong
Is this a paid presentation
did you follow back in the day when my Stellas were falling to pieces on every other trip? if you were you'd understand why I'm pretty psyched on a reel with strong gears haha.
am thinking about applying for a job on Danoz direct though 😂
@@JonnyBrooksFishing any experience with Penn Slammer 3's? imo also a quantum leap in durability and sealing over my old stella
lmao... Brooksy knocking on Shimanos window just saying...'Hi..
@@KaironexCryziz slammer 3s are great for the price. Tough reel.
The daiwa BG, LT series and new saltiga are the best reels now
TD sol III LT, 2016 BG, Certate LT, 20 Saltiga, Daiwa Blast
Yeeeew up the brooksy
I caught a 47cm gt on my 1-2 kg td hyper rod was so fun
Great vid, 100,000 subs for you by Christmas me thinks. 💪👍
would be nice mate, bit of a slog at the moment
Brooksy, you’re on your way for sure. Persistence will pay off. Best of luck.👍💪
much appreciated mate
I like it
New Stella still better, try get maintenance done or a warranty with daiwa…. No chance
Fxxk I used my Saltiga 14k two months ; the mein gear broken. Still waiting for repair.
I call bs
@@daltonv5206 fkn dreamer right...The oversized, Solid asf, state of the art Gears are broken after 2 months....lol
I think you're right about that
User error 😮 hahaha lol fucken jimmy

Wish i could afford this😭
The video title is all wrong, substitute "use" with "abuse" 😁
Haha your pet fish so funny my idol
Lesgo oo
Ill take ya old saltiga's off ya hands lol

They shouldn't have changed the colour. Looks ugly as like the Stella's
