Salina is the replacement for the Metaloid. Basically the same internal components. Azores XP has the same high density gears as the Metaloid. I have the Azores ZXP-8000H since December 2021 and I've had zero issues with it. Original gears and bearings still in. It had it's fair share of abuse/wade/sand and hasn't been serviced in 11 months and still smoother than ever
@@untraceablefishing the Azores XP has really impressed me. I never doubted this reel. The best part of buying a cheap 2nd hand Azores Blue or Z is that you can actually get metaloid gears for it and you basically have an Azores XP/cheap metaloid
Hi gentleman. Trust you giys are well. Thank you so much for this information. ..(very informative and straight up ..off the bat detailed details.) May God keep you'll and you'lls family's safe..stay blessed..healthy..prosperous and happy. Tight lines. By any chance are any of the metaloid reels still available at the 2/2.2 k prices and if so what sizes are available ?
@@untraceablefishing hi bud..saw the prices..but..they like about R300 /400 more than in the video. Thanks for the info. Have a great day. The 5500 is R1999. Hopefully..it has a deep cut spool..want to use mono on it ..on a 13 ft rod.
@@untraceablefishing great.....after have a deep thoughts, I decide to pick up Okuma Tesoro over Twinpower for now.... Since i asked you on the other video that you put Tesoro higher than Saragosa and Slammer but below Twinpower....I noted on that one.... And I would like to choose 4000 series over 8000... different weight....if all the components on 4000 are similar with >4000 series....i'm not hesitate to buy 4000 in future...
You’re not comparing apples with apples. Spheros is more expensive and a reel in a different price point. For us, we’d still go for a Salina because of performance and price.
Thanks for the video guys. I am a Shimano fan boy but I am getting a bluefish zero 13ft for scratching. I would like to keep my reel budget at R3k. Considering the BG the Battle 3 the Salina and the battle 3 dx. I think these are better then the shimano's at this price level. What size Salina would you suggest for the 13ft bluefish? I am thinking a 5000 for the BG or Penn as they tend to run a bit bigger from my experience
I’d say a 6000 or 8000 will work. Dean has the BG (2 of them), and goes for Salina every single time. It’s an amazing reel- don’t even think about anything else🙏🏻💪🏻

You’re bang on there!!!
All in all, great reels!

Thanks so much for watching💪🏻🙏🏻
I own a 14000 tesoro and Saragoss and from my view the gosa is a bit smoother but, its worth it for sure
Yeah bud, the Tesoro is a beauty… but so is the Gosa. Kind of makes a tough choice if you’re buying just 1 reel😜🤣
@@untraceablefishing its all comes down to the type of fishing really

@@KarlRobin-yb8ef just double check… some of those prices include braid. Look for the ones without braid💪🏻
Nice reels guys
Thank you!!
Thetesoro just add on 4000 series range....does this 4000 still has oversize brass gear like bigger siblings?
This we will hear about soon👏🏻

I love the tesoro
So do we😍🥰
The Tesoro 4k and 6k share the same body or totally different? Thanks
How does the salina compare to the shimano spheros
Size 6000
You’re not comparing apples with apples. Spheros is more expensive and a reel in a different price point.
For us, we’d still go for a Salina because of performance and price.
I'll go for the Salina
Lighter and has a more solid feel and parts are very easily available

Thank you. 6000 Salina it is
@@untraceablefishingwould you say 30lb or 40lb braid for the 6000? JDB Ultra 8x
@@DarthSeaniousI’d say go with the 30lb for sure on that size bud. JDB breaks 10lbs heavier IMO💪🏻
Much appreciated
If you want more bearings, go to TEMU 😂
lol🤣
