I’ve had a pole since I was a kid (pulled from the trash) with a sealine 50H reel. That was over 20 years ago and the action is still smooth as butter. Such a treasure

Been fishing these reels for 35 years, marlin, tuna, yellowtail, never needed to replaced the drags, just service them. Just changed the bearings out on my SL20 after hundreds of tuna on it. Bullet proof low maintenance great casting reels.

Man the slosh 20 and 30sh are the best i ever bought considering the first reel i bought was the penn 525 gs

Excellent casting reels. Take a 13' 14' rod with your reel setup and you'll be clocking 160 yards effortlessly. These Daiwa 30/40/50's are well used here in South Africa. Value for your money.

I have it on a 12ft rod and love it!

I recommend a trigger to help with grip during casting, it will get your hands away from the gearbox. Check ebay for options.

I thought the brakes were spares, did not know the were not fitted out the box. Thanks for that tip.

A handy tip for replacement brakes for these is to get a used disposable biro pen, take the insert out of it and cut it into spare brake tips. it really works. just make sure there is no ink left in there before cutting them.

Daiwa slosh rells are the best rells I ever bought they are the best on the market best purchase of sea rells I ever made

Saw your squall 15 video. I added a torque handle to my Squall 15. I use mine for surf fishing out here in Texas. Spoiled with 50lb braid/40lb shock leader

You can turn of the click by sliding the thumb stud on the left side plate. Great channel BTW.

Thanks but it isnt the bait clicker it's the anti reverse claw clicking on the anti reverse gear there is no AR bearing in this reel I saw it when I took it apart

Hi thank you for your help I will stick to my penn reels thank you

im not sure if you figured this out yet but the clicker can be turned off by sliding the black knob located on the side where you took out the screws from. also, there are left handed version of these reels which could help you from having all of those issues you just mentioned.

He's not talking about that clicker! He's referring to queit clicking noise that can't be turned off

Try casting reel down. Sooooo much better and retrieving is easier.

Nice review of the main points. I use them reel down and control reel with left hand so gearbox doesn't hinder the grip otherwise it would defo be an issue. Recently just picked up 2 of them 2nd hand and they feel like new. The beads from a breakaway grip lead work well as a brakeblock too. They bigger than the daiwa red so one usually does esp with thicker lines. Subbed to your channel! I haven't tried yet some extra grease on antireverse claw might dampen down the click noise.

It’s easy. Just get some tools and swap it out.

I dont take the 7HT to the beach at all I only go to the field with that reel it seems fragile compared to my other reels the main drive gear is really small so I know guys across the pond fish with it but I don't so I take the Avet,Penn and slosh to the piers and beach.

Yes I'd put both red blocks in just to be safe I did every possible brake combination one day and found 2 red work best I even tried with no brakes its possible but you're gonna have a bad day fishing.

O ok thanks

You don't know what you are talking about. I personally have used to 20, 30 and 50 for over 8 years and they are all excellent reels. Also an experienced multiplier user will not put the brakes on. The reel casts brilliantly. If you cannot handle it don't blame the reel. Further it the gearbox gets in your way you are holding your rod incorrectly at casting setup
