Thanks for watching...

Thanks and Merry Christmas to you.

Thanks Ted...

Thanks much....

I agree. The 17 Presso is the nicest reel in the world in my opinion, now the Presso is just another made in China reel...

Thanks and Merry Christmas to you also.

Thanks Stan. Excited to us this with some soft plastic...

Thanks....

Thanks...no doubt the Vanquish is a fine reel.

Thanks for watching Victor....I had the line clipped into the line clip. About 2 inches was sticking out.

Isn't the Zenon also made in China

@@spencerb891 you are maybe right. I have not pay attention to it. I love both reels though.

Thanks....I agree with you. Was in too big of a hurry when I did this video. What I notice in the differences of the two companies is it seems to me Daiwa offers more..and in my opinion....better reels in the medium price range. The drag clickers definitely are louder on Shimano reels.

Thanks for watching. I use this method ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5pGmbpnv4b4.html It works even spooling braid. The high end JDM braids go on a reel much better than the cheaper braid. Even though the PE line I am using breaks at 5.6# my leader is a true 2# test FC. So a loose drag is imperative in case I hook a big fish. I don't get line twist. Big part of why I do not is the reels I use. All reels I use have 2 line roller bearings....it does make a big difference. Drag settings are a big balancing act when using true light lines. The Ester line I use breaks at 1.8# and I use a leader so my knot strength is less than 1.8#. Not a lot of room for error.

@@troutmagnetman Thanks for the reply. The shoe trick is awesome .. I will try this next time. I spool just like you do .... but I use my wife just like you did in the past.. ha ha. My wife will appreciate your tip very much. And I agree with you, this is the most efficient way to spool without line twist. I will look for dual line roller bearing reels next time I buy one.

Thanks....

Thanks for watching....I use the Palomar..it is simple and it holds.

@@troutmagnetman Thanks! Palomar is my favorite as well.

Thanks for watching..

How can you compare them? Presso is 20 grams lighter, higher in class. And also much more beautiful.

@@forelwami 17 model, absolutely... way more beautiful but not the 2021 model

@@distantport To each his own. 21 Presso is very pretty. And the spool is generally one of the most beautiful in history.😁

@@forelwami lol let's agree to disagree on the spool :)

And also how do you feel It stacks up against the airity in the same model and the vanquish 1000

Thanks for watching. Only time will tell if QC issues will come in to play on the Presso. Having seen a Chinese made Luvias and comparing it to my made in Japan Luvias I see no difference at all. I do not own a Vanquish so it is hard for me to compare. As to comparison of the Presso to the Airity I don't feel one can compare reels that are 100 dollars apart in price. The past made in Japan model reels are in my opinion higher quality than the LT line of reels. I have a 2017 Certate...several 2015 Luvias reels that I am comparing. For instance the rubber seal for the waterproof drag on the older models are higher quality. Keep in mind my thinking may be swayed by the heavier weight of the older models. The metal parts on the new LT reels is much thinner than the old reels. In the end though I think the new LT reels are well made and I have to say I do prefer the lighter reels. I have 4 Ballistic FW reels that have lanee 1000's of fish and they are made in China. They are as smooth as the day I took them out of the box. I prefer the reels to be made in Japan but I think we are seeing a trend that in time only the top end reels will still be made in Japan.

@@markdireen123 If I had the extra 100 bucks I would get the Airity....but you will not go wrong with either one.

Thanks for watching....

Thanks for watching....in reality the Theta would be the better value. But the new Presso sure is a sweet reel.

All is fine.

Thanks for watching....they are not.

@@troutmagnetman thanks for the reply!

Thanks for watching. It is rated for .3 PE 200 meters.

@@troutmagnetman #0.3 kinda too small for a reel drag max 3 or 4kg actually

Been using it on some stream trout rods with Varivas Infinity PE X8 line. But will soon spool it up with some Blue Moon 2# test FC line....this reel will be fantastic for finessing microplastics.

@@troutmagnetman thanks randy I bought one on eBay for $350 because of you. They are now sold out lol and going for a lot more. I'm gonna pair it with a evergreen salty sensation ul.

@@kerwin5863 that should be a sweet setup.

In the description…the 1000S-P.

Thanks for watching and the commnet.
