Daiwa Presso Ultralight Fishing Rod | 1 Year / Long Term Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 июл 2024
- Today we are reviewing one of my favorite rods! The Daiwa Presso Ultralight Rod 8'. I have had this fishing rod for quite some time and although we already made a review in the past about it, I figured that after having it for sometime and catching many different fish with it like halibut, croaker and even bass has given me enough insight to give it a much better, thought out review.
This rod comes in many different sizes from 5'6" to 11' (in the 2 piece set up) and it is a great travel rod because it breaks apart and doesn't take up much space. It is a pretty strong rod for its size and especially for the price.
We hope that you guys enjoy the video, if you have any questions or suggestions please let us know in the comments below. Also, if you guys like these types of videos, let us know what you did or didn't like about it so we can be better prepared in the next review!

this was great, yall should do more gear reviews about your current setups!
Thanks! We’ll try to make some soon!
Killer catch to show the strength of this rod and capabilities of bringing in fish of pretty good size especially that double hook up.
Yea it’s a great rod! Pulled a 30+ lb sting ray in the surf a couple years ago and it still going on strong
@@belowaveragefishing4771 wow that's very impressive on an ultralight rod. You got skillz mang👍
@@belowaveragefishing4771 mang I had a chance to purchase an 8' like yours and second guess on it cause I have really almost a hundred fishing poles. Shipments take longer now so now its a waiting game for me. You made me a believer in this rod and I'm definitely gonna get me 2-8' presso rods....thanks for really showing the action of this rod and durability 👍
@@papiomasta1195 I got patience lol took about 45 min I got lucky I had 8lb braid about 200 yards and it was running left to right between two jetties. If it had gone out to sea it would have spooled me
@@papiomasta1195 it’s the best ul rod , I have 6 of them in different sizes and only broke one closing my door on the top.
Just ordered this rod and glad I saw your video!
Glad we can help! It’s a great rod!!
@@belowaveragefishing4771 was wondering if you put cork seal on your rod or not? Also, glad you showed fishing saltwater, that’s what I’m planning to use it for most of time
@@Fishingguy00 I don’t, but the cork is still good. Yea I got it for the surf and it does great!
@@belowaveragefishing4771 thank you and just subscribed.
@@Fishingguy00 thanks for the support!
I ordered the 7ft model and plan on pairing it to my Nasci 1000. I see you have a Legalis on yours...What size? I have a Legalis 2500 on a ML Arid-X. what a great reel!
It’s a 2500, it’s a great reel! It’s super light.
If you can find them...get them. Not the travel version but the 2 piece. The travel/pack rod is not worth getting IMHO as it's very prone to breaking. I was able to pick up both the 6.6" and 7'6" this month. Still after the 8 up.
If you have a turners outdoorsman they have them and tackle shops are starting to get them in. Yes the travel one isn’t worth it, but the 1&2 piece are great!
FYI @ 2:00 minutes...its completely opposite w these new spinning rods. Im from Hawaii and I whip and dunk a lot w various types of spinning rods. These new rods the line guides are smaller and the rings are further away from the rod blank. Through experience I've noticed significantly that im able to throw further than normal because the line guides are smaller and further away from the rod blank. Let me explain: As the line spins off your spinner spool it spirals. Now w a larger eye the spiral of the line is larger and hits the rod blank as it spirals off the spool, hence creating friction. In turn creates less distance. Now these new rods from 2021 I've noticed a lot of spinner rods are manufactured w smaller line guides that are further away from the rod blank. This new design I found controls the spiraling of the line as it spirals off the spool. With the smaller line guides and the guides are made further away from the rod blank, the spiral of the line is significantly smaller and controlled which prevents the line from hitting the rod blank as the line comes off the spool. In turn creates less friction which translate to tossing your bait or lure significantly further. Now if your using braid it also prevents wind knots because the spiral is smaller and much tighter and controlled. Wind knots are created when the line spirals off the spool & it hits the rod blank. So smaller the guides and further away from the rod created distance and less wind knots when using braid. Aloha....🤙😎
Thanks for dropping some knowledge!
I just think its cool how today's rods just gotten better. It took me to go through a lot of my rods and rods that i bought to figure i it out and I thought it be cool to share this knowledge so that way guys can purchase their next rod and really narrow down and zero in on the rods that fits their style of fishing. 🤙😎
Especially when you want a rod that creates less wind knots. You got good stuffs on your channel. Keep up hammering away on those trophies...aloha🤙😎
@@papiomasta1195 for sure; even casting styles make a lot of differences in rods: we just like putting content out there to start the conversation because there’s so much to learn and people look in the comments for more information
@@papiomasta1195 for sure! We’ll be out there next year. Definitely hitting you up to fish
Nice Rod, been thinking about getting one. Where is it made?
That idk but it’s definitely a sick rod
Is this good for jigs abd twister tails or more for treble hook lures?
More treble hooks. Unless you have extremely sharp hooks. It doesn’t have too much back bone for a hookset
have you had any experience with the 9ft model? thinking of using it for float fishing with a light slip float
No, the longest model I’ve used is the 8 foot.
I haven’t had the opportunity to try out the 9 foot.
@@belowaveragefishing4771 picking it up for some trout fishing in Canada gonna take a chance on it after seeing this video. it looks TOO good
@@lotsofducks6234 glad we can help! It’s a really nice rod at a good price
@@lotsofducks6234I know this is 2 years old now but I wonder if you have any updates on your UL float fishing set up? I'm looking to do the same thing.
@@Kmurray9244 The 9 footer turned out to be a little too powerful to really be considered UL, I actually stepped down to the 8footer and have been using that to throw 2-3g float rigs for trout. It's been really nice! 9 footer is a great choice if you want more stiffness / power. I have it paired with a Daiwa Legalis LT 1000.
What size reel? Braided line?
2500 real, and 8lb braid
Been wanting one of these but they are so hard to find.
Tel me about it! They’re randomly available at tackle shops but they sell out so quick
@@belowaveragefishing4771 Wish I had a Japanese buddy that could mail me one. I bet those are easier to find over there or in most Asian locations.
@@noobpyrotech9991 I think they’re American market only, the presso in Japan is a $200+ rod. You can get an okuma celilo. It’s 90% of what you get from the presso and it’s $20 cheaper
@@belowaveragefishing4771 Really? I thought Ultralight was popular over in Asia. I thought it would easy and cheaper since there is so much.
@@noobpyrotech9991 it’s more popular but the presso is USA market. They have one too but it’s a way better high end one that’s $200+ the $80 one is only sold here.
The okuma celilo rod is pretty good to
That one is cool, but I find the presso a bit more sensitive, idk might just be me
Its hela hard to break a rod during fishing juse your head and you will have one rod practickaly for all your life if something gona go its your reel, thats wy its better to spend more on reels then rod,s ^^
I’ve only broken a rod once when I closed my car door on it. But you can feel the difference when it’s a low quality rod on a big fish, you can heard the graphite cracking under pleasure.
I have had 3 of these rods. One I lost raffing the other two BROKE. they are not strong. The two that broke broke at the third guide. It is a WEAK point. They both broke at less then a year so Diawa sent the second one that was then lost. The thrid one broke first time out. Will see if Diawa honors their warrantee this time.
I am not the only person that has done this.
Man that’s bad luck: I’ve broken one that I broke on my car door. I haven’t had the same experience, I’ve use mine in the surf & jetties for maybe 4 yrs now
