Is the Tsunami SaltX as good or better than the Van Staal VR75?
In this video, we take a deep look at both reels and see if the cheaper SaltX can dethrone the king of the sealed saltwater spinning reel market.

The VS definitely has a cult following, but then again so does Shimano and Penn. I’ve had a few Tsunami carbon shield rods that I was pleased with but nothing special. If I were looking to spend around the $300 mark I doubt I’d go for Tsunami over something from Daiwa, Shimano, or Penn. Great video guys!

@Zyl0n_yt Месяц назад

why over daiwa and shimano?

@KiRotv 8 дней назад

Slower oscillating spool equals better line lay for further casting distances. I have a saltx and after break-in its butter smooth as well as the drag. Best bang for the buck.

@tailwateroutfitters 7 дней назад

Yea for sure! I’ve also heard the faster oscillation like these reels have helps with heavy drag. Supposedly it keeps the line from digging into itself…

@jamesstewart9970 День назад

@@tailwateroutfittersthat’s exactly why they do it, nothing worse than catching a really nice fish and being pumped then going to chuck out your favorite lure only to have it get about 20 yards and snap off because the line was super dug into the spool, even with the crazy fast occultation the van staal still has way more line capacity so line lay in this case is a moot point..

@Rerigit Месяц назад

I love the videos! Put more out.

@tailwateroutfitters Месяц назад

Thanks appreciate it! We've got a bunch more in the works! Feel free to recommend some video ideas as well

@SamuelPulis Месяц назад

FYI: Van Staal is pure fishing, a company that makes everything fishing just like tsunami does. Not a fan of either one personally though. Shimano Saragossa is cheaper and better than both of those reels IMO.

@tailwateroutfitters Месяц назад

Yea, they own tons of brands, but Van Staal is still an independent brand under pure fishing, just like Penn. The Saragosa is killer too

@EAZYDOESIT Месяц назад

I HAVE BOTH TSUNAMI REEL IS SMOOTHER 💯 6000 version can be switched to bailess with in box adapters 👌🏾

@tailwateroutfitters Месяц назад

Did it break in and loosen up? Or did it come out of the box smooth?

@EAZYDOESIT Месяц назад

@tailwateroutfitters after id say 3 trips out it felt butter soft so it was broken in somewhat all around great bang for the buck

@HaydenOakes 13 дней назад

I’m thinking abt getting the 6000 size for tarpon what do you think?

@tailwateroutfitters Месяц назад

Hey! I would do a Stradic or Saragosa, or BG MQ, then probably a Bull bay sniper 10-20

@themanwholivedv275 Месяц назад

Cabo 50, have had one fished it ocean, beach for I think 4 years now and haven't serviced it yet, still smooth the drag just now needs a retouch, its a 5k ish and its light 40+ pounds of drag, right at 220$. great reel, ugly but hey whatever.

@themanwholivedv275 Месяц назад

ps: i have saltigas and had a stella, i feel the only real difference between them would be the handles on them being better, so just get an after market gomex with a power knob and bamb.

@DNOYPIANGLER Месяц назад

I think VR 50 and Saltx 4000 are almost equal on line capacity. VR75 vs Saltx6000, respectively.

@tailwateroutfitters Месяц назад

Yea for sure, that would be a more fair comparison for line capacity. I just used those sizes because they’re closer physically in size

@tonyrichardoutdoors5805 17 дней назад

i bought the salt x based off of a Jeff Skinner's review and mine came with a bailless conversion kit

@Bigfish1day 22 дня назад

Van Staal is no longer made in American anymore, not sure the quality is still there, that’s what made them great, I had a VR150, sold it to get a Twin Power 10000 for offshore fishing. If I get back into inshore and surf fishing again, I’ll splurge on a new VS.

@tailwateroutfitters 20 дней назад

That is true, and a popular thing that we hear. However we've not had any issues since production was moved overseas. The Made in America pride is definitely gone, but we don't believe quality has suffered one bit

@philipjohnson2237 26 дней назад

Tsunami and van staal both cater for the same set of fishermen the stripe bass guys and to me they are both pretty much the same just the price and drag is different

@phillymanpete Месяц назад

I think Tsunami may have been better off NOT making the reel look like a VS knock-off. I generally like Tsunami and their products, and have some in my arsenal. I would have considered buying the SaltX BUT it looks too similar to the VS. If I want a reel that looks like the VS, I will buy a VS. My two cents. Good comparison review!

@tailwateroutfitters Месяц назад

Yea I would agree for sure. Some more originality would have been good to see. Thanks!

Where’s the skill in casting a spinning reel..????? You guys are stuck in spinning reel hell…🤣 You will never get the distance from a spinner as you would with a multiplier reel,.. not ever ..! Yeah,… Van Staal reels are nice but not that kind of money …. It’s like fly rods that cost $1000 … total BS…! Do the math,… boys !

@JerseyMiller 20 дней назад

I fish both. I have a diawa lexa that can outcast anyone on the beach. Great for bunker plugs. But spinning reels are always better for casting light weight and jigging for fluke.
