i have the stella 6000 hgc n penn authority 4500 ,, man penn is just as good as stella minus some cosmetics only , aluminuim face lift for the rotor overall good looking , pure ss bail wire instead of black colour , better forward wide angle design for the spool lip , but certainly it's a steal at its price.

Yoh bud… you have some proper reels hey!!! What rods you pairing up with, and what are you targeting?

How does the Tesoro and Makaira match up to these guys ??

@untraceablefishing

Ай бұрын

Hmmmm… Tesoro I think would match up with slammer/gosa… The makaira will match up with these reels in my opinion, but they never quite took off unfortunately🙈 But it’s a whole new animal that reel…

@donczns

Tesoro is well sealed and has interesting features, stock is scarce, good reel, but quiet specific in its target market,akaira is a great reel, but like the tesoro quiet heavy, great for deep sea spin and as much as I love Okuma they are not quiet in this class

Not denying this point… but stick availability from Bilimoria was an issue at the time of filming👌🏻

I get the Saltiga and the Stella but the Penn Authority I wouldn't put same category, PS I've been loving my Tesoro. I love a spinning reel that puts R&D in drag sound!!! I like the sound of the Tesoro drag better than my saragosa when a fish in on buzzzz!!! Not to mention titanium spool shaft brass pinion gear etc.... I also have slammer vi DX's ,saragosa swa. and i prefer Tesoro. Funny thing is It's the only Okuma spinning reel I like though - had Salina and returned it?

Hey bud I agree… but we did “best of the best” from 3 brands💪🏻 We also love the Tesoro, and that sound is something else!

Unless I missed it, why not avail the current price for each reel?

Penn around R9k, Shimano around R20k and Saltiga around R24k👌🏻

Stella every single day of the week

Here in UK the 2500 size Authority is popular with salt water lure fisherman .

@untraceablefishing

I think in the states that Authority will always be a popular choice!

Yes the UK anglers love Penn and for good reason, not always the lightest for a lure spinning setup but strong and reliable which more than makes up for the slight weight increase

Does that mean the Saltiga will be up for grabs in the next Monster Shad Comp? 😂 Loving ur guys' content, awesome stuff.

Had all 3…..all,comparable performance, but I can buy more than 2 authorities for less than either of the others

This a a valid argument- no doubt what a lot of people do bud🎣🤙🏻

I was shocked to find out that the saltiga reel plus shipping from online Japanese store works out less to what it sold locally but I am not a millionaire enough said.

lol… it sounds about right. Years ago I learnt that a Mercedes Benz c class made in East London is cheaper to import from USA and then convert back to right hand drive (from LHD)🤣 It’s the way it goes…

Yes and no sometimes guys forget about import duty which on a Saltiga can add up to a fair bit, sadly dealers struggle to even make a minimum markup on the high end reels!

Im planing to test the authority in Oman

How much will it cost to service the saltiga or stella? And who does it in SA?

Not too bad if no spares are needed, besides the freight usually only a few hundred.

@untraceablefishing

Ай бұрын

Without parts, a couple hundred… It’s the parts that become expensive on the high end reels🙈

Please, before doing videos like this, do your homework or get someone who fishes with the reels before and know what goes on. I've fished with all 3, and the reels a world apart from each other.

Interesting comment (no disrespect). But I think it was not a “review” but more a comparison of the 3 top brands and their very top tier reels. We cannot be bias with these reviews, and spoke to a few people who fish with them before hand.
