It doesn't spin like other reels because its completely sealed like a van staal

"A manual just in case you don't know how to use a reel haha...what is this tool for?" Hmm I wonder if that's in the manual🤔

@tonyacevedo3149 4 года назад

Yep, everything is in the manual! Haha, but lets be honest how many of us actually read manuals. Just an honest unboxing of the reel.

@carolemaguire644 3 года назад

looking forward to an update ... interested to see what you think after trying the reel out.

@christianflores7583 3 года назад

Its smooth in the aspect of tight tolerances and good gear meshing, the word your looking for is free spinning which is determined by the sealing at the handle and rotor, its about as free spinning as any van staal

@marklewis3436 4 года назад

Thank you Tony! Great review!

@tonyacevedo3149 4 года назад

No problem!

@johnnyem-grafix4024 3 года назад

Love you guys !!! That’s the next reel I’m getting - what rod do you recommend?! Man it’s nice down south ! I know the blues are down there but those red fish are beautiful!!! 🎣🤙🏻👌🏻🤝🌙☀️✊💪🏻

@paulhuval6579 4 года назад

I was wondering were they were made also and when you use it can you do another review on it?

@tonyacevedo3149 4 года назад

Unfortunately made in China. I will be doing a full review once I get some use into it.

@scottjolly8983 2 года назад

How come u guys do not carry the saltx anymore? I was about to purchase one and I'm hoping it's not because u hated it!

@tonyacevedo3149 4 года назад

For sure!

@jayyy3507 4 года назад

Hi is the 6K too small for a 12ft rod? for surf fishing?

@franciscosantiago2753 3 года назад

I have a 10 footer Saltx rod with my 6000 and it's just perfect.

@johnmelendres8974 4 года назад

The reason it doesn't spin freely is because of how sealed it is, it's made to be reeled under water.

@tonyacevedo3149 4 года назад

Good to know thank you!

@skylaryoung3750 4 года назад

I have the 6k version and it’s a beast. My only complaint is that after a solid day of aj fishing that little rubberized knob cover came off. It’s held on by glue so be mindful of that. Other than that it puts the hurtin on fish

@tonyacevedo3149 4 года назад

Good to know! I'm sure there may be an aftermarket knob that can be installed on it, but for the price of the reel it would be nice for the original to hold up.

The specs and details of the reels mentioned in this video came straight from the box. We will look into that thank you for the heads up!

Give it some reel grease!

@anthonydetmer 4 года назад

Amazing out of the box. Wait 6 months seriously.... honeymoon phase will be over lol.

@dpar9891 4 года назад

I have had the black one since they came out. I fish it weekly sometimes daily depending on schedule. I don't abuse it like a vs but it's been dunked slammed and dropped. I haven't reeled it in submerged or slammed it in the sand. But I have 0 complaints for the cost. Do I think its bulletproof? Absolutely not but for the way I fish I really enjoy it. And its holding up fine.. what issues have you ran into with it?

@tonyacevedo3149 4 года назад

We shall see! I have had the Tsunami Shield for 2 years now ($100 reel) and no issues. I would hope this one holds up way longer than that.

@pakde8002 4 года назад

Owner's manual for those who don't know how to use a spinning reel hahaha, a tool... I don't know what that's for, so... LMAO

@franciscosantiago2753 3 года назад

I have the 6000 and I don't think it's heavy at all. A couple of ounces don't make that much of a difference.

@franciscosantiago2753 3 года назад

As far as performance, I think it's a great reel. I like bailess reels so this one is just what I bought it for.

@nathanz602 4 года назад

Something doesn't seem right with the smoothness of that reel, because the $10 reel that came on my UglyStik GX2 combo is smoother. 😂

@alejandro3485 4 года назад

It’s a fully sealed reel. All fully sealed reels will be less smooth than other reels. If you’ve ever used a van staal or a zeebaas they all aren’t silky smooth.

@239peytonn7 3 года назад

Your an idiot it’s got seals if you’ve ever fished a staal or a zeebass it’s not smooth because of the seals it gets smoother the more u fish it of course u don’t because u use a gx2 combo

@12askalHarry 4 года назад

Those reels are like van staal you can dunked it in saltwater and actually reel under the water

@tonyacevedo3149 4 года назад

Good to know! Not sure if i'll be going that far in testing it out though haha.

@whiskeykilmer1866 3 года назад

Made for pier and bridge fishing? WTF, it's a sealed reel made for surf fishing.

@tonyacevedo3149 4 года назад

Good stuff!

@jedediyahaaronyisrael7118 3 года назад

The reason it doesn’t have the free spin is because of how well it is sealed.

@cipriancipri5343 3 года назад

After few months rotor shaft striped out !!!!

@Thenewthreat86 4 года назад

I've owned and use the real since it first was released the real constantly gets debris underneath the rotor which makes the handle nearly impossible to turn at times and very noisy and squeaky I wouldn't dare submerge this real other than that it's a decent real a little heavy and the spool is a little shallow

@ledforthehead23 4 года назад

I hope this reel is better than their rods, which are baaaaaad!

@commonname9205 Год назад

I hate this reel I bought a 6000 that the line lay never stacks properly no matter if you add or subtract washers.i tried it on two different surf rods and it casted like sh¡T. I never did try it bailess. I think it would work best for a heavy boat rod when lots of drag is needed.
