@@Thetruckerfisherman yes! There's a lot of small owners who buy blanks over seas and paint em and sell em! A few of em are copies of forest spoons! I am very happy to see that is is growing. Hope to see more folks fishing spoons!
Great video. That is why i love my ultra light spinning reels. I am a strictly bank fisherman. Like i told you before and i am glad you had fun fishing the way i do. Be blessed. My friend.
Thx, the spinning setups definitely helps bank anglers as u will likely need that distance! While i am an advocate for bfs, I know when to put it down! Cheers mate!
Epic video jimbo those were some nice fish. Love those little spoons you were throwing, definitely better suited than the heavy American versions. Obviously you know I’m gonna compliment that reel again 😂 that thing is beautiful. I like the sound of the drag for 90 bucks I might just have to get one. Thank you as always for the content looking forward to more videos using your spinning outfits. Tight lines brotha happy holidays !!
@@Daiwa_Is_King those trout were not bad! can't wait for spring brood stock fishing! gonna be shooting for some big ones again! the reel is definitely good so far! We shall see, probably explore more hover strolling stuff if the lake isn't frozen this weekend. but it's below freezing every night the past few days and up until the weekend, so i think the season might end early this year!
@@Daiwa_Is_King I got only a few videos stashed... So I hope I can get on some fish this weekend. Else... I better plan a trip down south or something lol
I wish we had some good trout streams or ponds near me. I've always wanted to catch one! That's definitely a pretty reel. Seems to be the Japanese version of the Fuego. I don't understand why Daiwa and Shimano don't offer shallow spool versions in their 1000/2000 size reels over here. I was looking at their higher end Gekkabijin spinning reel, but ended up going with the Presso instead because it's a lot lighter. Great vid as always, Jimmy!
@@danspanos trout is very popular in our country and even some not too southern states got em for stocking certain times of the year. The market is too focused on main stream bass fishing. They don't pay too much attention to the weekend warriors and other fisheries such as finesse anglers like us :(
Americans do no like shallow spools. When I worked at a fishing shop I sold plenty of 3000 size reel over 2500 just by simply telling people the main difference is line capacity. The bass market is what the reel companies cater to. For some reason a lot of people think a bass is gonna spool them out. I understand chopping line but if you get spooled out from a bass someone messed up🙄.
Not sure if Americans are properly educated of the benefits and usage of shallow spool reels. But, for main stream bass fishing, I can see why... They all want to use thicker stronger line and just haul fish in for a pay check!
@@rawrfishing That makes sense for baitcasters. Usually when I spooled up line for customers on spinning, 20lb braid was the max and it was for finesse techniques fishing. I've seen people use 4000 size for drop shots as well lol. I've come to believe people choose it more for a safety precaution thing.
Nice to see the reel in action. I ordered the 2000s because I want the normal gear ratio. Still shallow spool. Have you tried the magbite blading jig heads? I use them with 1-2 inch swim baits and the trout inhale them!
@@19ZOLTAN18 nice! hope the reel will be perfect for what you use it for. nah i haven't tried those, but i can say that the trout love the EPF swim and B-Vibes!
@@rawrfishing never tried but looks like a hit. I don’t believe we have them in Aus. Quite limited tackle. Some places they get overseas stuff in on occasions and it sells quickly
Nice reel. That entire Daiwa LT group of reels is solid. I really like Kastmasters, but those spoons look fantastic. Please let us know about their availability.
@@TheAthomasait I am starting to like spinning reels! Those who never tried a Japanese reel, this is a good one at a good price! Sure thing! If they get into the market, I will definitely let folks know! For now, check out what bait finesse empire carries. I like the Mukai spoons too!
Hello, I enjoyed the video. I wish you could explain how you tie the spool knot, I heard 3-times around & a Uni knot. I have only have used mono to start on a spool. Maybe you did a demo before or you can explain it to me ? I now have About 4 shallow spin reels. Thanks rawr happy Holidays. Ray
@@NJfishingadventures old school method that doesn't do any thing for anglers lol... May bring the carp over tho... Trout doesn't digest em I hear so they will stay bloated for a while and not eat. Hope yall catch some trout soon before it gets too cold!
@@rawrfishing I'm even more surprised that a bunch of guys didn't starting coming over and fishing your spot after seeing you catch fish. Always happens to me lol
@@zankyou101 actually the kids did! I cut those clips out cuz it's caused some down time lol. But thats how it is fishing in public waters and unless they are too close, I rather let kids try to catch something to help grow the sport.
I would put #0.4goh maximum for pond trout, with these small spinning reels you have felt drag washers that are way smoother than any carbon stack and especially in a baitcaster giving you more confidence in fishing thinner lines. Also spinning reels benefits heavily from thinner line when it comes to casting distance, as the spool remains fuller and you get less drag when line is coming out. Then the 2000 sized reels from Daiwa and Shimano actually are the same in everything as 1000 size reels but have bigger spool, so you have an option to buy 2000 size spool for your 1000 size reel if you need more casting distance, as with bigger spool it makes less coils that which also means less friction. :D I personally love Daiwa's FC (finesse custom) 2500S or as of now, they call them regular 2500S and the true 2500 size reels are called PC (power custom) and Shimano just calls them C2500S as they have 2500 sized spool (almost) with bigger rotor and 1000 size body, they're monster casters and the weight difference from regular 1000 size reel to compact 2500 is very little, like 10 grams..
Yes, spinning reels must be maxed capacity with the thinnest line you can use to achieve max casting distance. I think I will find a spool of 0.4 gou. I have one but it only had 75m in it. That would mean I need some backing lol... Maybe I can back some thin PE line from an old bfs reel...
@@myth-hc9df u can do that if they are that active. But a more finesse approach was needed for these 2 day. Rarely any fish hit the spoon or other fast movements.
@@richnet12 i need one or two, so yes! While everyone knows I am a strong advocate of Bait finesse... I see it only as a tool and will swap to a different tool when it is necessary. There are plenty of finesse techniques that would benefit with a bit further casting so that you don't spool fish. So thus I have it! And then we got fisheries where you must have distance! The fish don't wait!

@@9645jimmy UL fishing is fun! Get to utilize the drag system more than heavy tackle fishing
