I was thinking about upgrading my son with the crossfire from the 6'6" G-Shock 2500 to 7'0 crossfire 3000 here in Humboldt county CA ware we fish for anything from trout steelhead to 25 pound salmon. I just made up my mind this crossfire really felt good in the shop and sounds like it will hold up for him tell he gets a little bigger and probably put some good memories in the family photo album thanks for the info
@@fdsaffff All the big box outdoor stores sell the Crossfire but Bass Pro has the best stock of those. I get my J braid x8 on amazon usually, or online tackle stores that I recognize like discount tackle
Not sure the game you'll be after, maybe seabass? If so, those sizes would be perfect. If you come into really strong fish that need a ton of drag, the crossfire might not be a good option. Like here we have grouper and snapper offshore, I wouldn't use it for those but for some seatrout or game under 15lbs I would. Just make sure you have over a hundred yards (not sure in meters but very close) of the line you want to use and that should be the right size for you. I'm sure both 3000 and 4000 would work. Make sure you clean your reel well after salt!
Love my crossfire I have 15lb braid on it and I must say it has 22 pounds of Mac drag which is very very impressive for the price point and the size of the reel
@@finnafishfl I use the anti-reverse switch multiple times every single time I fish when I want to pull out more line for casting or re-tying a lure. It’s much easier than monkeying around with the dragon pulling out line by hand.
Hey dude , nice video. I just bought the 4000 crossfire. Do you know how strong the drag is ? Daiwa pretends it s 10 kilos , wich is around 22 pounds but i think they over estimate it. Anyway..take care.

@@finnafishfl But if thier body is made to handle small size fish, then why companies put that much drag on them? Like 12 kgs drag on the 4000s.. I am wondering if its graphite body can handle that much load..!
@@AbdulGhani-ld9np for people who want to give it a try! I'm not brave enough for that but I bet it would last a bit on big game. It's surprisingly rigid, the reel
@@ravenger2711 The title also didn't say "me using a 30$ reel in saltwater" which would imply what you're thinking.

That's just you wrongly assuming I would. Anyways look at the thumbnail, it's in my room, another thing that makes it obviously not a fishing video.

Took your crossfire advice with 6lb J-braid and absolutely love the combo
Glad you did! Epic system they got
where to buy that?

What size would you recommend either 3000 or 4000 for fishing off shore casting lures 15-40g in England

@@finnafishfl thank you mate that really helped I think I’m going to go for the 4000 size , what lb braid do you recommend for the 4000 thanks
@@ryanashley3125 I'd put 20 if I was fishing down in snags or as light as 10 if I need distance with my casts. 15 is fine too for an in between
@@finnafishfl cheers mate really appreciate the help
Sick! This reel looks cool, it has some cool features
Love it! Thanks for coming
Love my crossfire I have 15lb braid on it and I must say it has 22 pounds of Mac drag which is very very impressive for the price point and the size of the reel
Also have bought one due to Peirce, can't wait to use it!
Thinking about getting one in a 4000 or the 5000 size great video thanks 🐟
Any way to swap out the bushings for bearings on these?
Awesome video!!! Definitely gonna look into this reel.
I have 4 or 5 and have gave a few away over the years, but what happened to the anti reverse?
Did away with that useless switch! Just another point of entry for water anyways I prefer reels without them

@@WisGuy4 I just use the bail and I'm saddened when a reel I like has this point od failure
Nice job bro, great to see you again we need to go 🎣 soon
I got one of these reels the other day and the drag is super tight even when it’s fully lose
Nah sounds like your reel is defective
Should be very easy to turn
what’s the difference between the model numbers C and CP? At the end for example, CFLT-3000-C-CP versus CFLT-3000C
Cp means clam pack, for some reason the box one doesnt come with spool spacers so you might want to get the clam pack
@@finnafishfl Thanks for the quick response
Hey dude , nice video.

Do you know how strong the drag is ?

Forgot to tag in my story frick

Lol
What is this comment doing here BHahahahahahahha😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
come back
Omw
sweet
8lb jbraid and this reel is perfect
6lb way better for the sizes I use! 8lb too thick
@@finnafishfldo this reel needs mono backing
Can it really handle that much drag that company suggests?!! Don't the 22 pounds of drag will break it? Considering a graphite body.
As I said this is a good light tackle reel. I wouldn't get it to stop a jack at the jetty
Though I've seen friends turn 10lb jacks on the 2000 size

The video: no fishing or whatever
If you assume things it makes an ass out of u and me. Watch the previous upload. This is not a video of my using the reel, it's a review. Obviously
@@finnafishfl no offense but did you read your tittle? Alternative title: here's my thought using a $30 reel for saltwater or something.

@@finnafishfl just put a key word review
Doesn't hold much line unfortunately
Shallow spool makes more room for drag washers, makes the drag smoother. Other reels are too deep IMO
I can't find that gasket anywhere .. Boo hoo .
@philgale1752 it's on the nicer LT reels. I think the revros on up has it. If you get a chance to look at some daiwas just take the drag knob off and look under it. I know for a fact the crossfire and laguna do not have one
