Thank you! Comparing those 2, I would use Luvias over the Stradic as I wouldn't need metal, heavier rigidity to Seabass fishing but would want light and sensitivity instead, and would use 4000-XH.
Those are totally different, Certate is heavier but more rigid for sure, it is more for tough use and/or for bigger species. Luvias is one rank lower reel with all ZAION carbon material, mainly for lighter use. If you use Luvias after Certate the spinning and its weight are really light, and senesitive, but not quite tough like Certate, less retrieve torque and possibly less durability.
@jpfishingtacklenews195 thank you for responding. I have the Caldia and Salamandura and love them both. Just put more white grease in gears when I received them. Kinda dry from factory. Also bail bearings too.
Hi, 2020 Luvias also has a duralumin gear, but not machine-cut, and 2024 model has machine-cut duralumin Tough Digi Gear. Mainly, I felt 2024 model enhanced for all the directions mainly required to light weight spinning reel, like reeling is slightly lighter and smoother, inertia is less, drag is smoother. I did not feel much difference of physical weight but castability is better too, as of the AIRDRIVE Design - the gravity point shifted towards the bottom.
Hi, it basically depends what you need for the new reel. If you don't literally need toughness, strength and not for heavy duty, Luvias will do the job perfectly. Otherwise, Certate. Personally, I wouldn't use Certate for fishing with LT2500 size as I wouldn't need such strength and toughness, and I would select either Luvias or Airity, depends on the budget.
Thank you very much :) TBH I personally agreed 5+ years ago, more spooled line can be used for more versatile for sure. But especially for light weight reels such as Luvias, Airity, I personally think those are greately light, and sometimes I wanted to use lighter line but the matched line capacity reel sizes for the rod I have were a bit too light. Then thought to upsize the reel but then the line capacity was too big. I used to use mono line for pre-spooling but it was extra work and did not like it. Now I use the bigger size reel that match up with the rod, with shallow spool and spool the light line :) Honestly, I am wishing to have option to have normal spool or shallow spool though haha.
@jpfishingtacklenews195 US and Australian version always have big spools, inshore species are strong and love to take alot of line, but tbh it dont take anything higher than PE 2 to catch. I want a small light reel to have fun fighting them, and new braid line keeps getting thinner and stronger. New Saltiga x12 0.8 is 16lb and OceanDevil 0.8 is 19lb. I'll probably just get new Daiwa Sol MQ is the same as Luvia but US special :)
@@chrisd1164 I see.. Yeah I can see your point, in here sometimes the same, you can enjoy bream and flathead fishing with thinner lines, but can also hook mac tuna, little GT type species in the same area and can take a lot of lines. I also wished more variety of gear ratios for global models as I love H/XH gears and are not really available for global models.
No problem at all! However it's hard for us to say which is better for your mate, may we know the target and size, methods to use the new reel, which size of reel please?
@@jpfishingtacklenews195 2000s used for austrlias snapper around 30 to 50cm and trout freshwater, used with soft plastics bouncing of the bottom or spoons straight winding
Thank you very much for your comment :) Well it really depends how and for what type of fishing you suppose to use. Luvias is great reel, feels light and "enough durability" for light use as in the review. Certate is specially designed for tough use, so if you think to use for tough use, Certate can be better. If you use for light fishing, won't use frequently, Luvias could be enough, but if you also wish to have durability and can go to Certate, then Airity could be better as it's light and durable, at least more than Luvias. Hope this helps you :)
@@jpfishingtacklenews195 again thank you for your kind reply, i hope you continue uploading videos it helps us beginner angler when it comes to wise decision especially spending hard earned money.
It also depends on how often you go fishing. As I mentioned in the movie, the feels of usage is not that different, but obviously, Airity has a little better quality with durable metal body. But if you don't mind about ZAION body and not really for heavy duty use, I would say Luvias can be good enough. Not for "if you have money", that's for "if you WANT TO spend that money", then of course, the more expensive one, the better it is :)
Basically yes, but not quite sure about durability as of the body material. Jigging puts larger load on the reel, so I would use metal body models like the Airity or Certate.
Another great video mate!
Thank you very much! We are having a bit longer process to review Vanford but will publish once ready :)
Lovely review! between luvias or stradic which one you prefer my friend ? i am between these two for seabass fishing
Thank you!

How do you think it compares to the Certate, not the SW version

Hi how does the new luvias compare to the old 2020 model? Also did the 20 Luvias have a Duralumin gear? Thank you!

Hey, I'm looking to buy a 2500 reel for light fishing. Should I buy a 2024 certate or a luvias ?

Looks good but I really dont like Shallow Spools. Awesome video.
Thank you very much :)

@jpfishingtacklenews195 yes Mackerel, Jacks, and trout are so fun on small tackle
@@chrisd1164 Ah great! Then yeah I do understand your point totally 😄
My mate is buying one of these should he get new vanford, luvias or sustain please help sorry for the late comment

Review 2024 stradic sw 4000xg 🙏
Thank you for the request! We are currently deciding those and would be highly appreciate if you vote to our survey :)
Help me choose luvias or certate?

@@jpfishingtacklenews195 thank you very much, I'll be using it as a shore jigging reel so i think ill go with certate.
@@tabutog Ah yeah then Certate would be better choice, that's definitely a tougher use and need durability from that.
@@jpfishingtacklenews195 again thank you for your kind reply, i hope you continue uploading videos it helps us beginner angler when it comes to wise decision especially spending hard earned money.
This or Twin Power XD for salt water?
I would use TP XD for saltwater, especially for heavy duty use like rock fishing, offshore fishing.
So you are saying. If you have the money 💰 buy the airity. But if not buy the luvias?
It also depends on how often you go fishing. As I mentioned in the movie, the feels of usage is not that different, but obviously, Airity has a little better quality with durable metal body.

@jpfishingtacklenews195
Ok copy that thanks for the help
Daiwa makes the best reels in the world 🌎
Glad to hear you love DAIWA reels :)
Saltwater approve? Jigging also can?
Basically yes, but not quite sure about durability as of the body material.
Jigging puts larger load on the reel, so I would use metal body models like the Airity or Certate.
I sent mine back...way too much resistance in the handle inertia.
Oh no we are sorry to hear that.
Made in Japan or China ?
Luvias 2024 is made in China. The upper models like Certate, Airity, Exist are made in Japan.
I can get this reel for 295 dollars
Oh ok that's good :)
