You don't set it up with a sliding sinker on the mono? I've been told that if the shark pucks it up and feels the weight it will drop the bait... thanks
@@raider6atv They could care less. Redfish will do things like that. Sharks will pick it up with a massive hook hanging out of it, obvious wire, and an 8 oz anchor holding it down. They're savages lol I've caught real small ones up to over 7 footers on that setup. It's golden. Welcome.
Hello Scott Mikles , can you tell me the Daiwa 21 Certate SW 8000 is good quality . i want to buy one but some one said the gear material is very bad , so i m scare .Thank you for your time.
Hey man, this was an awesome video. It’s amazing seeing these reels being put to work like that with those big fish. How has the reel held up since then? I’ve been thinking about getting either this or the Saltiga in the 5k size for large snook. I find myself wanting the Certate more because the design is so flawless.
You need to put your crimp sleeves into the crimping pliers oriented vertically. Then you will put the rounded corner into the appropriate size slot in the crimping pliers. Look up blacktipH how to crimp properly. Just looking out
learning so much of this video, when im hooked on on the lexa or spinning reel i keep the handle down and work the right hand on the rod (on a left hand reel), i see you get the handle up. I'll try that
@zacharyscott9146 You're welcome. It'll be well worth it to get one. There are tons of artificial reefs that are kayak distance down the coast here. From Santa Rosa Beach all the way to Navarre. In Navarre, there's a cluster of 26 of them all spaced out about 500 ft apart.
@@zacharyscott9146 You can find them online in different places depending on which area you're looking for them in. Then I'll make sure they're the correct coordinate format and create the waypoint on my Lowrance.
Does the main shaft have play? Does the stella feel like a toy after using saltiga? As my friend on youtube friend told me that there was play in the shaft as well as in the spool.
It doesn't have any play. And I do despise any play in my reels. When asked to compare the Saltiga and Stella I always say the Saltiga does feel more sturdy or heavy duty. Both have been great with no issues so far. Knock on wood.
Just got this little baby today on sale at my local hunting store. Pairing it up with my St.Croix Trout series Ultra Light. Opening day is Saturday! I'm counting the minutes lol.
@ScottMikles thanks, man. It's even worse because I bought the rod last year, and they're awesomely sensitive... but I accidentally snapped the tip on a 4 lb bass (not a bad a way to go, though) a week before opener. Warranty replaced it.. so I technically had the rod since last year and have yet to actually trout with it lol.
@@ScottMikles btw, thanks for the video! Even though it's older. I came here specifically to confirm the drag capacity because I run 4lb trout s.o.s. when trouting.
@ScottMikles heard they're 200 bucks, but the new model is only a different color or some bullshit, so my shop was blowing out these things for 149 lol. I knew what I was looking at and couldn't say no. Today was splurge day before opener lol. Cheers!!
A reel with this much line capacity and drag is bordering on overkill for that unless you want to target sharks, then it's a great option. A smaller model like a 6000 will keep it more sporty for anything besides sharks.
@@ScottMikles The reason I was thinking of the 10K size is due to the mono capacity. I probably can't sling a surf rod a 100 yards but still the smaller reels so even if I could that would leave about 170 yards. I guess that would be enough. What does the D-H stand for on the 6K? I noticed the 10K doesn't have a D
@@ScottMikles Should have elaborated. Trying to find a spinning reel for surf fishing. Debating on what to spend for a reel but Saltist MQ is my starting point.
The MONO is for shock and abrasion. Without the mono, the shark can snap the braid the wire is attached to because of the violent headshakes and jumps.
I hear you, knowing that they're capable of being larger, but they are extremely dense here. Our regulatory systems in Florida are awesome and strict on size and amount allowed. I always follow rules and regs. I won't keep certain species that are on the small side but these eat well.
