I purchased a 2000 and returned it, when I would retrieve line under pressure(retrieving my lure in water) I could hear something grinding. At first I thought it was the line roller bearing but no it was something inside. I just stuck with my stradic and vanford, they both work awesome.
I have a 4000PG on the way from another Japanese dealer (Plat). I wanted a lower retrieve ratio. I also ordered a 5000 size spool. As the 4000 and 5000 have the same size body. I'm using mine mainly for pike. By the way those washers aren't drag washers. They are shims/washers for line lay. You prob won't need them. But if the line lay is off you can add or remove the shims. They come with Diawa reels too. The Vanquish is Shimano's top end light reel. But I wanted the Twin Power as it is as you say sturdier. It's a case of priorities. 😊 This years Twin Power is so close to Stella it's not worth paying the extra. Usually that's not the case.
I got my 3000 size TP as soon as it was released and I absolutely LOVE it. This new Twin Power and my 23 Vanquish are my go-to reels for all my inshore needs!
Agree. BTW, can you also talk about the in hand difference between 2500SHG and C3000HG? Seems the body is of same size but I can see the drag power is so different. If the major target is bass, striper bass and cat fish, does the drag power (8.8LB) in 2500SHG good enough?
It just arrived… wholly Molly!!! I am lost for words. I saw somewhere if you buy a steez u get 5 years worth of free service cleaning, have heard that and if so how does that work if u have a JDM model?
Being team anyone manufacturer is a waste. The Diawa Zillion, lews custom lite, Shimano Alderberan, Shimano curado 50e (yes, 14 year old reel), Okuma Haiku drt 100, and others all all phenomenal reels. Shimano makes some crappy reels just like all the others. Shimano makes amazing reels....just like everyone else. Stop being on a team. Let manufacturers know if they don't keep prices low and quality high you are not loyal.

Damn thanks been waiting for this.. This reel kinda reminds me of my 06 or 07 twinpower.
Lovin, this thanks!
I love Diditaka. I bought my first 16 twin power from them and still love that reel.

I got dibs on this! 😁🤫 Great video, Nick as always. Hook 'em Horns baby!!!
Can u review the new vanford plz?

Look at Vanford and go buy Abu Garcia Zenon! Don’t buy the mid to lower end of Shimano reels(Vanford and Curado). You will regret it.
@@timleng4404haha yea right, if you want somthing that will last get a shimano or daiwa
Shimano Twin Power XD reels are very good. The 5000 XG is my go to reel for surf spinning.
how has it been holding up in the salt ?
Very good, no problems.
Twin Power is under the Exsence in terms of hierarchy; not the Stella
It’s going to have a XD version like the previous TP ?
Nice review. Brother do you fish or hunt anymore? Miss those videos
Best reel for the money if you order from Japan it gives you Stella quality at half the price
As always thanks for sharing your codes...just picked up the new 2024 Daiwa Stteez SV TW from Digitaka...due to arrive in a few days!!
It just arrived… wholly Molly!!! I am lost for words. I saw somewhere if you buy a steez u get 5 years worth of free service cleaning, have heard that and if so how does that work if u have a JDM model?
Outside of warranty. Is there a difference with a jdm one? Same parts?
twinpower is no under the stella .. you forget vanquish then comes twinpower
Is shimano using the cheap plastic AR clutch of the Stella series on this model?
Hi.can i get a discount code ?
Many thanks
What are people’s experience with Digitaka? How quick is shipping to California? Customer service?
Have ordered 2500 Ocea jigger LD, 2 stradic, jigs, jigging rods etc....been flawless service with digitaka
Just picked up a Metanium 100 and used your code. Thank you! Im east coast US. Does anyone know the typical wait time for the item to arrive?
Ordering from digi and being in Houston, 3-5 days.
@@ETuss713 That's not bad at all. Thanks!
Great review…
Glad you enjoyed it
Over vanquish which one would you prefer
Don’t buy a vanquish they are a rip off for the money
Pretty nice.
You beleive this is higher in than the Vanquish? I have the Vanquish 3000 MHG and it feels exactly like my Stella.
This is right under the Stella in terms of strength and rigidity in my opinion.
"Very Expensive!"
What?
It does. 99% of stella.
I'm team Shimano all the way. That looks like something to use on a lake. Very disappointing, not going to waste my money.

Need fishing videos not sales pitch
First
Great videos man. Messaged ya in IG for that sweet, sweet September code.
Is very expensive. Only for rich people is made 😂😂😂😂
Hard to take a review seriously from someone who doesn’t know the difference between drag washers and spool height adjusting washers lol.
Hard to take your comment seriously when you are referring shims to washers 👍🏼
