I have 4 saltists. One is 9 years old! I love them so much. It’s my go-to reel for fresh and salt. I’m so glad you discovered them.

You’ll get em next time!! Being able to get out and experience this and fish it was awesome watching!

I always have back up rods it happened to me once and kept fishing. I have two Penn reels from the 70s never serviced them they're champions.

At 5:55😂 Glad I'm not the only one who's done that slingin' it hard off the beach

I also snapped two savage gear trout rods that where pretty expensive here trout fishing in Poland with in the first few trips of using them . Switched back to a cheaper Shimano rod have put it through hell for over a year now with any problems!

Just found your channel thanks for the reviews on various items and tips on catching more fish.

The only gripe I have with this reel is the weight, but that goes with the size of the reel kzread.infoUgkxM68VkfsQhHaabDce1IwOCXuvumcpbZ_k . I brought this salmon fishing up in Oswego, NY. I coupled it with a Cabela's Whuppin Stick. I had no problem pulling in a 14lb salmon. I will probably use this for surf fishing this summer and downgrade to a 3500 series Battle II next salmon season to save my wrists. All of the operations are butter smooth and the bail is nice and thick and has a solid flip to it. Everything about this reel is sturdy and strong. The drag system held up to the salmon and was also super smooth. I did use a scale to set the drag properly before going out to the river and this worked out tremendously. A bunch of other guys on the river would hook up and snap almost immediately. Just because you have a good drag system doesn't do anything if you don't set it correctly.

Saltist reels are great! I’ve had a 3000 and 4000 for a couple of years now and they are just as good as they day I took them out of the box. Super smooth reels and can take a beating.

Lawson My dog always good to see an upload keep them coming brotha! Tight lines and be safe!

"I will never buy a savage gear rod ever again." .... The savagery. Could not agree more.

You should try the centaur rods. The 7,7 constellation is great for tossing big lures. My buddy caught a 70 inch bluefin on his

I had to add solder to some spoons to get them out far enough for casting because I didn't have enough heavy lures to get out far enough. I caught mostly trout and some salmon when the tide was right and the trout could go out into the ocean a little bit. I had once a nailed a bald eagle and had to have a game warden hold it because he had gloves to unhook it. This was at the East Alsek river up in Alaska on my one day a week I had off.

I just got one! They’re really good.

I've been pretty happy with bulls bay rods and crowder.

Questions: I have a Saltist 4000. What do you recommend for a rod? Mostly shore fishing and inshore. Also, what Surf rod did you switch to in the video?

don't own any savage gear rods but if they are graphite (i assume they would be) you have to be super careful with them, any chips or nicks and they will break, thats all graphite rods, super strong when structurally in tact but if there is any weakness they break.

Hey blowing rocks jupiter FL I was just there last weekend ocean was ripping

Keep at it your get one

Bummer on the rod, make sure you hit the spillways before they dry up - much less rain this season. Tailwinds is still popping off

These are the type of videos that make me contemplate moving to florida

Man that really sucks about the rod breaking!!! Hope they cover it under way for you. Reel is awesome. A possible solution for you with all the plastics getting bitten in half, tie on a trailer hook to the main hook and bury it in the tail of the bait. I've been doing this for years when jigging and bottom bouncing different trout species here in the GTA, works fantastic. All those short strikes started turning into landed fish in a BIG HURRY.

Crazy bro. I broke a rod in a car door today and come home and watch this video of you breaking a rod. I don't feel so bad anymore

I personally like Yamaga Blanks. Look into them. Great mid level JDM brand. My Blue Snipers are work horses

What are some good tips and trick for fishing off the beach. I need help!!!

Man I felt your pain when you snap that rod! I have had this happen on a medium action Uglystik, for no reason at all! I wasn't even fishing with it when it happened.

My 6’6” medium Ugly Stik Elite has been a GREAT rod. Performs better than like the 10 other rods I got lol

I mean while those savage gear rods seem sensitive , I don’t think it’s because of great components, I think they simply just use the minimum amount of materials to make them light, and they feel like they are brittle , i too broke my savage gear rod and it’s an XH swimbait rod , tip broke casting a 1.5oz lure (made for 1-6oz)

The new BG have two stopper in the bigger size. Got the new and old one, still working. Much copied by Chinese and Korean reel manufacturers to the old BG. Reputation and robustness are legendary ! But a little heavy. The new one are always in the top ten best reel in the world. Number one in budget category.

Was that the NLBN mullet that got cut in half?

Im gona hit up the beach this weekend

Im just back from a 1 week surf fishing vacation.. i live in a city where there is no beach.. i am like 800 miles from the my favorite beach.. so i can only go there on vacation .. anyway, i bought a saltist 5000 and paired with a 10feet rod.. what a nice combo. I got a 27 inch red drum.. and the reel did not even force. It was kinda easy to pull the 27 inch red drum out of the water. I also have a shimano bait runner 4000 and when fish is pulling and reel handle rolling motion kinda become jerky on the shimano.. not on the saltist. But saltist line has changed this year.. i bought the 5000 saltist.. but daiwa replaced the serie with the MQ. Serie.. the 5000 is not the same as the 5000 mq.. daiwa changed the scale… to get the same with the mq serie, you need the mq 10000.. which i don't know if they even make it…. The saltist mq 5000 is a much more small reel than the original saltist 5000.. not only the mq is smaller but also more expensive. Next year i will buy another surf rod, i will probably go with another saltist.. oh as you are aware sand can kill any reel.. i had sand on the reel on many occasions.. luckily no sand got into the reel… always bring a water bottle to remove the sand that accidentally get on the reel..

I keep missing the Mullet Run here in Port Canaveral. I’ll try a few more times…

Hey man if your looking for a similar rod with similar specs to that savage gear I have a star rod vpr series and that thing is badass. Highly reccomend

I have a Savage Gear inshore rod that I love! I have had it going on 3 yrs now and have never had any problem with it. You are right they arent cheap and I would never expect one to snap in half….especially on a cast! I would def contact them and say hey whats up with this shit? I would hope they would stand behind their product and replace or refund you😎

Oh I forgot to ask..what is that gear pack pack you are using?

That’s why I build up my own rods.. Very easy now as kits / components/ instructions, all available online. Terry&ThePirates South Florida

What brand line do you use ?

Waw, beat reel sound

what size jig and swimbait were you using?

That exact thing happened to me with my nlbn I literally casted it out and reeled it back in and it was chomped in half😂. I have a 5000 stradic and it looks like a 3k compared to that beast of reel.

i have tried Shimanos and Penn. Shimano is smooth but durability wise is not the best. Penn is muscle Reels but not the lightest. Thinking of giving the Saltist MQ a go and see how it goes with it.

wow the best daiwa reel on the market paired with a walmart rod awesome

Savage gear is a lure making company stick to true rod manufacturers not an outsourced brand. Falcon makes the best rods for a really good price. As a rod builder I’ve built custom rods from old falcon blanks for shimano stella owners. Their tarpon rods would be an awesome combo for that saltist

Love the surf fishing vids. Sorry about the rod. It could have been worse. You could have hooked a tarpon on the way in.

hey what surf rod did you use?

What size is that reel ?

Well, we’ll see how the following goes on the Savage Gear topic. I’ll report back here in a month. Recently picked up 3 savage gear surf rods….one 9’2” medium 0.75-2oz, one 10’2” medium 1-5oz, and one 10’6” medium heavy 2-6 oz. Fuji reel seats and Fuji K guides. Local company had them on clearance and I have about $80 per rod in them. I take care of my gear but do fish a lot (space coast). Guess only time will tell…….I’ll let u all know UPDATE: 11/16/21 have fished all three rods over a dozen times. So far all have handled fine. Like the guides nice and smooth. No big fish yet. All whiting, pompano, few reds, mackerel, blues and bonnet heads. Used the 9’2” for casting spoons and plugs at inlet. 2 nice over slot snook. No issues so far. Not bragging or holding my breath…..

Where are you located brotha?

I've had that happen on a Penn rod

I think where ya went wrong was buying a savage gear rod lmao

Was it the saltist or saltist mq?

Need a glass rod for surf. One piece 9ft lami. Graphite too brittle. E glass indestructible

Wow!! I’m seriously disappointed in the quality of that rod. I feel for you brother.

That's the regular saltist? Not mq?

Did you just.....did you just say "jabroni"? That's a staple word amongst my friend group. You're my new favorite youtuber now.

Can you please do a micro fish video with the most Cool looking fish that you can catch

I have fished for almost 50 years, sometimes using K Mart special cheap rods, and I have never had one break while casting. I am not sure I could have stayed as calm as you did after it happened. Too bad you don’t have any evidence or witnesses that it happened while casting. 😂
