I've been looking to pair my Shimano Saragosa 8000 with a mid price range rod. In this video I get some expert advice, a chance to load test, and weigh the following rods:
* Majorcraft Crostage 962H
* Daiwa Saltist Demon Blood 962MH
* Daiwa Spartan 2019 s100 2/4
Enjoy

Great vid lads!

Nice review mate. I went with the Major Craft Triple Cross TCX-1062HH (not listed in your review) as a backup rod to my Apia spinning rod targeting big 50-70cm mangrove jacks, medium size GT’s and grouper off the rocks. Till next tide, stay safe out there and keep fishing 👍🏼

Is major craft triple cross is higher than crosstage?

mashallah brother nice choice I'm hoping to that one in the overhead let me no how you go with it in Shaa Allah

@mazenelabdallah7069 4 года назад

in Shaa Allah you get that big GT 🐟

@ajlm2010 4 года назад

If youre pairing your saltiga 14000 with 50-65lbs line (80lbs max) a rod rating to PE6 should be a perfect match. Keen to see what you end up choosing though. 🤙

@TeamKingiesFishingCrew 4 года назад

Thanks Louie. That's the next video. It was the more difficult decision, Gab has some great options.

Assalamu alaykum brother love your videos man, bro I was confused on what rod to get the seajigger, penn prevail and the demon blood but after watching this I made up my mind, THE DEMON BLOOD IT IS lol, only thing I’m stuck on now is Daiwa saltist ltd or shimano saragosa, what size saragosa you recommend for the demon blood

@TeamKingiesFishingCrew 3 года назад

Wa'alaikumussalam... I would love to say the Saltist, but the Saragosa has been a proven for me. The only problem is that it has less drag than the Saltist. I have the 8k & 5k size in the previous model. 5k is great on the Demonblood, but you would struggle on a 80cm+ kingy. Another option is the Penn Slammer 3, some of the boys love it.

@buzznnn9066 3 года назад

@@TeamKingiesFishingCrew thank you heaps brother, I’ve looked at the penn slammers amazing reels with line capacity, I recon to be on the safe side I’ll just go for the saltist and do a full Daiwa combo, I’ve looked at the saltist ltd 5000 it can take 400m of 40lb braid with 10kg drag you recon the 5000 saltist is perfect or go up a size to the 6500?

@TeamKingiesFishingCrew 3 года назад

Just remember that Saltist sizes are not the same as Shimano sizes. The Saltist 5k is the same size as Saragosa 8k. Get ready for summer bro & let us know how you go.

@buzznnn9066 3 года назад

@@TeamKingiesFishingCrew thank you brother yeh I realised when I was comparing the 2 that the sizes are different, tell me about it bro I’m in Melbourne can’t wait for summer and this restrictions to ease so I can go out been stocking up on tackle for months now, I’ll definitely let you know when I get the gear and how it’s running, keep up the good work brother loving it 💪🏼

@franksaunders6534 4 года назад

Great review...expensive though! A lot of rock fishermen these days seem caught up in the expensive world of high end reels, braids, leaders, lures, rods etc...still means more drummer and blackfish for me! Not sure how you run it by the missus though, as everything you use seems a tad expensive??

@TeamKingiesFishingCrew 4 года назад

Hi Frank, you're spot on. My gear is getting more expensive, even though I catch most fish on my Sienna set up 😂... i thinks it's just the feel of having premium gear, but definitely not a necessity.

@mikey13b 2 года назад

Hey mate, which rods and reels do you use for fishing off the rocks? Cheers :)

@johnenguyen6420 4 года назад

I love my daiwa db 962, very good rod for stickbait, only down side is, when you try casting anything over 90, it struggles, it can cast, just not as good, i found sweet spot to be between 50-80grams

@TeamKingiesFishingCrew 4 года назад

I'm planning to use between 40 to 70 gram lures, so should be perfect. Can't wait to hook up something big with it... ooossttt

@johnenguyen6420 4 года назад

Should make more review on your new rods and reel, and also post first fish caught on new rod and reel, keep up the good work mate 💪

Hey bro kinda late, but i was thinking of getting a demon blood but not sure which cast weight should i be looking at preferably able to cast 60g jigs and lob a livie if i get the chance. Do u know which model u recommend?

@TeamKingiesFishingCrew 10 месяцев назад

For 8000 to 14000 size reels, we recommend Demonblood S962, PE 3-5.

Thanks Die Li. I suggest you check out my older videos, it shows you how to find all the ledges easily. But please take extra care, as some ledges are more dangerous than others. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XGvPcpSEnVU.html

How is the size difference between the saltiga 10000 and 14000? I can’t decide between the 8000 and the 10000 model

@TeamKingiesFishingCrew Год назад

8000, 10000 & 14000 all share the same body, just different size spool. It depends what fish you're targeting & what rod you will be pairing it with.

@lynoj777 Год назад

Awesome! Thanks

@jzfishing103 2 года назад

Hey mate is a one piece rod more sensitive than a two or three piece?

@TeamKingiesFishingCrew 2 года назад

I wouldn't say it's more sensitive. The more expensive 2 or 3 piece rods can be sensitive & strong, but you get what you pay. The 1 piece rods in theory has less points of failure, but we fish land based, so a 1 piece rod will not work for us while travelling.

what do you think about mc crostage?Thanks

@TeamKingiesFishingCrew 3 года назад

One of the boys bought one and paired it with his Stradic FL. Check out this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-egq93R50tWQ.html (5:42) It feels really nice in the hand, perfect for jigging, and really good price. I was tempted to get one for myself.

@minotaurm1802 3 года назад

@@TeamKingiesFishingCrew Thanks Bro.I hawe a few zenaq,yamaga,g craft atd but I want to try some of lower price rods...it's more relaxing when you're not watching him put his rod on the rocks :-).And I think very often is unjustified price difference .

@TeamKingiesFishingCrew 3 года назад

I know what you mean, you only really know the benefit once you hook up to a monster. I can tell you, there's a recent video where i hook up to a big kingy off a break wall, and the Zenaq made it fell easy.

why happened with maikuro rod? too heavy?

@TeamKingiesFishingCrew 4 года назад

The Maikuro is a 7 foot rod (10-24kg), too short for rock fishing. It's relatively heavy & doesn't cast well. It's great for its price, but I wanted something nicer.

@jimferdyyu2032 4 года назад

@@TeamKingiesFishingCrew ah right, i mistaken with the maikuro 9ft one...

@jac2384 4 года назад

Why are you weighing the rods?

@TeamKingiesFishingCrew 4 года назад

Most people weigh reels, but forget that the weight of the rod also contributes to how comfortable it is to cast lures all day. So we wanted to test this. Plus the more expensive rod makers always advertise that their rods are strong and light.

@mrpavanayi2768 9 месяцев назад

Price?

@kongxiong6005 3 года назад

I highly doubt a mid-range rod is 300 to 500. The way I see rods is entry level is $100 mid-range is 100 to $300 hi and rod is pretty much anything above 300.

@TeamKingiesFishingCrew 3 года назад

Valid point brother. We've had some great rock fishing rods between $100 to $300, but there is then a jump in quality to rods from $300 to $600. Anything above $600 is just luxury 😁

@DONT.BUY.MAJOR.CRAFT-BAD.RODS. 3 года назад

Better Daiwa. Majorcraft breaks too much easily. Las Majorcraft se parten con mirarlas. Je préfère Daiwa. Majorcraft ça casse tout seul. Majorcraft = BadCraft

@DONT.BUY.MAJOR.CRAFT-BAD.RODS. 4 года назад

Major Craft is the worst. Daiwa is the best.
