How’s your casting of midsized 1/4th-3/4oz oz baits on your Salamandura 70? I messed with the dials and I can get it down to 3 on the magforce, but still not getting great distance. Is it my rod and casting ability or is the SV overbraking?
Subbed! Great info on the reels! I’ve been spending too much on Ali express, eBay Japan, and the Japanese sites. The prices are going up though😢 get them now before the exchange gets worse!
Great job on the video, really. Lots of good info. That thing looks great! Love the looks all around. I'll still always come to you for the reel info! Hehe!
@@TTangOutdoors IDK. You can, but I rather spend a bit extra money on line than be worried about getting spooled by a big fish or a fish I wasn't targeting.
Nice review! I own 2 of the 2017 Exsence's C3000MHG and absolutely love them for my power spinning fishing. They're exactly 7.0 oz, they balance with all my bass rods, smooth as silk, strong/smooth drag and blacked out look. I actually prefer them over my Stella's. For finesse, I use one of my several Vanquish's. My 2020 Vanfords got a Geary feeling after 1 year.
@@TTangOutdoors ya the Vanford. I’m also in Canada but Ontario. I’m looking at placing my first order from Japan or China but not sure what the best places are for us to order.
Keep your eyes on stores on Aliexpress. Or any Japanese stores, either way you're paying much lower than Canadian retail. Also pay attention to daily currency conversion if you wanna buy from Japan
Great review! Agree your assessment at 17:19, here in Australia all shimanos in smaller sizes are deep spools as well, not necessary imo. I am waiting until the day Shimano Australia bring out shallow spool models, but not holding my breath..
I guess the concept of using shallow spool has been relatively recent so whenever there's a change in a well established industry, it take time for people to get comfortable... shimano and daiwa are playing it safe but I think it's coming. I will probably make some videos talking about deep and shallow spool hopefully to get people thinking more.... thanks for the comment!
Does it have the same drivetrain gears in ultegra tho? The main selling point of ultegra is the drivetrain inside it is the same with vanquish. So if they have the same feel then I would say its better. It looks nicer too.
Hey, I'm thinking of getting either the Tatula ct or Tatula 100. I'm mainly gonna use it for bass and pike fishing. From where I'm getting the reel from, the 100 is only about 30$(CAD) more than the ct. Do you think for 30 bucks it's worth the upgrade? I'd appreciate feedback👍
This new 100 has a better frame better gear. I get sore hand fishing the CT frame and I don't with this new 100. I guess that depends on how big your hands are. The CT will do fine for bass and pike. 150 is a even bigger frame than the CT and I think it's mainly used for throwing heavier bait like swim baits for pike. I have since put the CT back in the reel box since the new 100 does everything better.
Hey I just got a new ct and haven't yet got a chance to use it, I'm new to bait casting, do all cts come dry? And what oil do you recommend on using? Great vid btw, helped a lot:)
No need to split line types just use regular mono or whatever your base line is on ur reel . No need for a second line type . Why these guys recommend a second line is beyond me soo stupid smh . Iv had tons of success with just slip bobber fishing using whatever line is on my reel without a second line as a leader. Theres no neeed for this !!
@@TTangOutdoors Mono sinks, braid floats.. i use braid mainline mostly.. if u wat to set the hook and ur line has sunk it can be challenging. also using braid leader is not nice.. so use fluoro.. or mono.. or steel leaders for pike.. (i use .80mm fluoro for pike/zander in europe)... but u can use smaller diameter if ur not catching a lot of pike. Also i dont like color coated hooks.. they dont go in as good.. also the color difference is arguable. I use gamakatsu mostly..
I thought the reels were ok but I couldn't get any type of casting distance at all. And I've been using baitcasteing reels for over 30 yrs. I think lews makes the best in the business. Shimano s are nice but they are to overpriced and they don't last very long after a while you have to keep oiling them . On the diawa the thumbar kept sticking and I had to keep constantly putting oil in it. The lews reels cast further never any maintenance problems super smooth retrieves. I think these Japanese Korean Chinese companies are just garbage. I use American rod's and reel's now bad experiences with the foreign stuff.
@@TTangOutdoors listen man I not arguing with you. You keep using the garbage you use. And I'll keep using my lews reels. Go ahead and pay three times more I don't care.
Why comment then.... good for you using what you love. Most people don't wanna or need to know the truth.... and have you used this 2023 Daiwa Tatula 100 that you claimed couldn't cast far? Every year the big brand continues to improve and bring new technology to their reels.
Yes the carbonlite 2.0 is basically a 2017 Daiwa exceler LT with 2 extra spool bearings. Also the handle knob is screwed. But this 2023 exceler LT is a new generation, we should expect upgrades and especially on the well known handle play issue... I haven't fished it yet but out of the box it feels tighter than the last generation.
Awesome video Tom u hit up round yet this year bite here had been weird no cats just one like 2 weeks ago in the river system father down from damm other than that just hammed them at the beginning of season the shut off but walleyes slamming the ned rigs like always never .. cought a rock bass yet tho for me new species
Hey Drew. I've been there once a few weeks ago by the dam and there's lots of eater size walleye. I caught lots with the Ned rid it works so well! That's awesome rock bass are fun to catch!
The C2000 has a compact 1000 size body, so the bodies are exactly the same. The spool on the C2000 is a larger diameter spool hence the little bit more line retrieval (specs on Shimano website). But the C2000S is a shallow spool.
Haha nope it came in a cardboard box with nice packaging. Yea I'd be pissed too but that's not how it was delivered. Please don't believe things you see on RU-vid lol
Yes this time of the year the walleye and big walleye are in much deeper water. They come up shallow to feed early morning and evenings. We were just happy that we caught a bunch haha dinks. It'd be perfect condition to fish from a kayak further from shore! Thanks for the comment
Man, I love days like that. So nice and calm. Especially when yah land a wack load heheh! This is my fav time to fish in the AM. Nice to hear all the wildlife too.
The Fuego CS is much better than Black Max.... no comparison. Abu uses static magnetic brakes and Daiwa has a more advanced SV dynamic magnetic braking system.
i understand wanting shallower spools but the d spools look normal to me i guess because i also fish vintage spinning gear witch it's way less common to get or even have a shallow spool because of how much thicker it was the mitchell 300 spool is deeeeep af in comparison (yes they have shallows i had a shallow it broke tho)
People don't wanna change just because.... and companies don't wanna take risk by changing so that they lose sales. But if you really think about how much line you really use in fishing.... reality kicks in... and the truth is for a lot of lure fishing freshwater situations you don't need the last 150m of line in your spool ever.
