I got a bit confused when he was discussing locking in a constant 15# of drag. I assume you can adjust your drag at a lesser amount than being locked down, right? Because I mostly pitch with straight FC, but am trying to fish braid (just 30#) to a FC leader on a MH rod, whereas I'd normally use a Heavy power with straight 17lb FC. But because of the no stretch braid with just a short FC leader I still want my drag to slip some, not alot, on the hookset so as not to snap off the short FC leader. This idea to try came from Seth Feider's change in how he pitches grass.
Yah, you can adjust it… i don’t have the pitch and flip but do have the elite distance, yet I’ve played with the pitch and flip. Don’t worry about it, you can adjust it and will enjoy the reel.
This was a great tutorial and explained a lot. My question is would the elite that is for distance also be versatile enough to alao be used for pitching and flipping? I cant afford both but for sure know i want a tatula.
I don't know why he said the p/f isn't a great frog reel. I've been using it for 2 years as a frog reel and it's been great. Definitely an advantage having the 100mm handle also. The line capacity isn't an issue for me. It holds about 90 yards of #65. That's plenty for my frogging needs.
Yah, with braid i was thinking the same thing! I own the Elite Distance, i haven’t bought the P&F yet. Braid doesn’t take up nearly as much spool capacity as Fluorocarbon. Glad you shared your comment because when i get the P&F i will most definitely use it when frogging.
@@bassbeasts1603 One more question... i saw lightweight spools on Aliexpress for Daiwa Elite which weighs 7.3 gramms. What do you think is it possible to use this reel with mentioned spool as BFS reel for 2-3 gramms lures?
@@asaoppenheimer6944 this reel is setup for distance casting. I would not change the spool. If you want to have a bait caster that casts light lures then i would buy one that’s actually built for that.
Looking into getting this reel. Is the Elite P/F ideal for bank fishing and lightly throwing out Texas rigs? Or is the Elite a better option? Thank you.
The P/F doesn’t hold as much line. It’s great for short casts/pitching. With 25lb Flouro, I can cast down to the spool with a short cast. Get the regular Elite for distance casting.
Forgive the late response… I personally have the Elite Distance reel and LOVE IT! It casts as far as the DC reels. I would think this would be the best option for bank fishing.
I'm not even understanding what you wrote... Did you have a question? We used the reel while we were there and the Elite Distance bombed a plug farther than any reel i currently own. I thought Mark from Diawa did a great job explaining the new reels. Did you not understand him? My 11 year old was lightly roll casting it 60 feet effortlessly. I'm pretty sure "everybody" doesn't already know! If you have something to share that the Diawa product manager didn't share, I'm sure we would all love to hear you expound.

I pitch and flip with mine all the time… Now, if we are talking “punching” through thick mats then there are better options.

Own two. Bomb 1/8 oz weights 50 yards, no thumb, no back lash.
Elite pf para trucha 10 lb o Shimano curado con crankbait de 5 gramos ?

Regular elite for bank fishing for sure. The pf model is best on boat.
The P/F doesn’t hold as much line. It’s great for short casts/pitching. With 25lb Flouro, I can cast down to the spool with a short cast. Get the regular Elite for distance casting.

@@basseditorfishing spot on!
So much bla bla bla, that everybody know. but all want to see the reel performances, especially the reel design it for long cast🤦♂️

Nothing better than targeting kids with a 500$ plus combo
It’s a reel not a combo! You could be in the reel and a decent rod for much less than $500.
