I like that you included some footage using it instead of just showing it off at home. I think a lot of you tubers would have been eager to talk about the reel and wouldn't have waited to get the footage.
Hi Rich- It's almost surreal watching you catch bass listening to the Bassmaster Classic knowing you were one place away from being there yourself.😊 The unboxing was very cool. I liked your new saltwater blue baitcastester reel that you got. You seemed to look like you really enjoyed whacking those bass in the slop on the frog. Keep up the great work!🙌👋
A bunch of guys down here (Gulf coast TX) are switching from shimano and Lews to those diawas-I still use a 100size Lexa and 2 other TWS models n the salt/brackish water. Diawa makes solid gear
That’s surprising, generally my experience with shimano has been far and above any daiwa reel. The components and casting distance is often good on both, but for me shimano wins out.
I am also currently throwing frogs on a slightly more fancy saltwater specific Daiwa lol. Og HRF PE special. You wont find this reel in the States but it handles frogs well. Built on the gen 1 tatula frame with stronger gear and spool to jig for rockfish. Its pretty slick.
Hows this reel holding up? Have been eying this one up for quite a while for frogging. I just remembered you did this video. I use 65lb braid and find on my Revo I have been using I cast out all the line frequently.....you have this issue on this deeper spool? Would you recommend as a frog reel with 65lb braid still after using it?
Yes, absolutely. 704c would be a decent pick, but if I was going to select one rod to do all of those things it would be the Champion XP 734c - omnia.direct/DobynsXPfgc
For heavy mats the 736 is awesome, I like the 735 around where I fish, little more tip for skipping and accurately placing a frog. I also an unlikely to encounter a 7-8lb frog fish where I live. For super heavy matts, use a 746 or 795
You’ll like those creature hogs. My brother, and I have both had days when things got really tough, and that maxxscent was the only thing they’d eat. We didn’t even realize that we both had the same experience with maxxscent until we started comparing notes. Stuff is legit! I don’t use it if the bite is good (stuffs expensive) but when things get tough I break it out.
Have you seen the Steez Morethan. It’s a Steez A with brass gears. That would be a sick frog reel. Those coastals are sweet though. They’re pretty popular here in my part of Texas

I try to keep things practical, glad you appreciated it. Used it a whole lot more thos weekend and it beens flawless

Thnx Bob wait for my video from this weekend, should be a lot more testing on this reel 🐸😛
@@HellaBass
I will definitely be watching for it!!👍
I like the new reel! Always nice to have a new one in the arsenal.
It got a work out this weekend, very impressive
I’ve been wrenching on my frog reel pretty hard this year, gonna take a look at these
Getting a lot more testing done this weekend, it's been flawless
Man, that blue pairs up SWEET with the Champion XP line!
Pretty sweet on Sierras too
Good call bro!! That Curado is super old school 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Built like a tank

I agree, I used to be all Shimano, slowly shifted to more of an even split between Shimano and Daiwa

Sounds intriguing
Great video! You think this would be a good overall crankbait reel ? Thank you
If you can find it in the gear ratio you want, then for sure, extra deep spool and bigger handle would be sweet for cranking
Frog rods should have a little swagger.. I'm stealing that line

Still like it, still rocking it with 50-65lb braid, bought a 2nd one
@@HellaBass Just ordered one these babies with some Christmas cash!
@@bassmastermatt very fun! Merry Christmas 🌲 🎅
@@HellaBass You too good sir!
I have the reel in my Amazon wishlist. Do you have a Tatula 100? Can you do a side by side comparison between the 2?
I might, can't remember which tatulas I have, but will see what I can do
Speaking of frogging I just bought a champion xp 735. Super stoked to give some fish concussions on the set.😂(I’m going to use a curado k as a reel)
Sweet combo, have to send me a pic of the first toad you smack
@@HellaBass I will, If the size of fish keeps going up I'll have a ten in no time.
Could I use this reel for Texas rig, carolina, spinner bait, soft plastic swim baits, and 1/2 oz+ jigs? What Dobyns rod? 704c? Thanks.
Yes, absolutely. 704c would be a decent pick, but if I was going to select one rod to do all of those things it would be the Champion XP 734c - omnia.direct/DobynsXPfgc
@@HellaBass gotta keep it in the budget. Could I settle for the Dobyns Maverick or Fury?
@@Marzunited Absolutely, both good options as well
That Blue looks badass. My wish list is way bigger than my Social Security check. Guess I'll just keep using the old reels a little longer.
That reminds me, I now need to sell an old reel 😣
That reel color is💯🔥
Couldn't agree more 😛
You still liking this Coastal reel? Still using it for froggin? I thought I saw a video at some point where you had it on an XP?
Yes, got two of them, moved the one in this video to a XP735c still for Frogs, and then a 2nd one now lives on a XP764c for MN Rig, Swimbaits, etc
@@HellaBass Nice. So you like the 735 for frogs better than the 736, hey? I always see people mentioning the 736 for a frog rod.

@@HellaBass Yeah, I'm in southern half of WI so I fish the same stuff basically. I do like a little tip for walking the frog in open water.

Caught a 5lbr on creature hog yesterday, much more luck with Generals overall
I hope you got a Coastal 200. If you didn't you got a reel with an 11 lb. drag!
Love the reel, been grateful frog reel
Have you seen the Steez Morethan. It’s a Steez A with brass gears. That would be a sick frog reel. Those coastals are sweet though. They’re pretty popular here in my part of Texas
I have not dipped my toes into the Steez po yet
I have that reel and I love it think it came out 2019 or 2020 any way I use it saltwater you will love i promise
I have two of these now, rock solid
I really want one for frogging as well
If you're so inclined can always use my code at Omnia 😉
👍.. Man that's a nice lookin reel👍
Thnx Fresno, fishes even nicer than it looks 😊
Always Daiwa for me. Still waiting for Omnia to get in the new Zillion reel l have been waiting all year 😂😂😂😂
You for the email notification on?
@@HellaBass yes
I have two of those reels I think they’re junk
Interesting.... what don't you like about them?
