Hello~ I hope to bring a somewhat nerdy but practical view of everything in fishing: tackle, rigs, technique and fun... Check out my other channel Bassniper大漁視角 if you dare to brave the auto-translation lol Tight lines!
Thanks for a great, in depth review! Could you answer one question please? I fish jerkbaits from a high bank and I jerk sideways, not up and down, so long rods are not a problem for me. I am looking for a long spinning rod with a good tip section for throwing light 3/16 to 1/4 jerkbaits. Is the tip on the Flyssa good for this application?

Great video! I have a question for you…have you ever used a shimano Metanium DC 70A reel? If so, if you could get the DC 70A or a 24 Calcutta conquest 30HG for the nearly same price, what reel would you choose for casting 1/8 oz - 3/8 oz lure weights? The DC 70A looks to be 1.7 oz lighter than the CC-30HG….(aluminum gear vs brass gears?)….that’s a fairly substantial difference in weight.
@BassniperEng11 күн бұрын
Yes the new black out Met DC, I have the 71 lefty model, been using it for about 3 months. I would say if you plan to use only one reel to cover a wide range of lure weights and types (i.e. different air resistance), I'd go with the DC; if you plan to focus on lures on the lighter side like 1/8-3/8, I would go with the Conquest 30 HG. This is only considering casting though. For handling fish and lure presentation, the DC (or low profile in general) fits better for palming, also gives more leverage to the presentations that require a lot of wrist action (i.e. less fatigue). Weight difference is the other. Al gear saved maybe 5-10 grams of weight compare to the previous gen. Met and Conquest have two different platforms so a lot of parts are made of different material, with Conquest aiming at long term durability. For myself, I am not impressed of the micro module aluminum gear's retrieve feeling on the new Met DC.

Ford vs Chevy, Glock vs S&W, Shimano vs Daiwa… It will never end. What nobody is talking about is the fact that in a lot of cases, either option will outperform most users’ skill level, and the use they will see. My experience with this is more in the Glock vs S&W realm (Firearms Instructor), and I can’t count the times I’ve noticed that the ones who are the most vocal in the debate over pistol choice… can’t shoot well enough, and don’t shoot enough, to realize any benefits one might have over the other. The real shooters know, and talk about the differences, but can use both well. Also, they don’t tend to get involved in the brand debates. It’s a loose analogy, but I’ve heard people who fish maybe ten or twelve times a year talk about how they only use (insert brand here) because they are more durable and can stand up to the rigors of fishing. 🤣🤣🤣 I also know “shooters” that have never put more than 50 rounds through their carry gun and they talk about how their Glock is so rugged and durable. Anyway, Shimano rules. All others suck! 🤪

This was an excellent video with a wonderful comparison chart. I own (many models) of both brands and appreciate each…I’m drawn in by the high end JDM models. I can say I like both….but have my favs of each. I would say I lean slightly toward Shimano for many of the reasons you mentioned, but I do still love many of my Daiwa models. I have had paint job failures on Daiwa reels that were really frustrating considering they were flagship models at the time. I’m an Engineer as well so I appreciate fine design but reliability, proper testing and material compatibility should be a given. From a fellow tackle junkie I want to say “Thanks so much for the fine video”. 😊

Diawa give great performance but it never seems to last. At the top end, Shimano make Diawa look limited but, you are paying more, so what do you expect? He tends to look at my reels with envy, where as I look at his, with interest. 👍

Bought a 2021 Daiwa Zillion SV TW it was not robust first time using it and It chipped the silver paint on face on the plastic body I was so disappointed only had it for 1 day brand new only main selling point was clicking drag on baistcaster. The lower Dawia Tatula 103 sv tw outshines higher Daiwa baitcasters. My favorite Daiwa reels are the Tatula 103 sv tw, 300 & 400 models these specific models feel so good in hand.

Shimano higher end models with core solid bodies are solid metal body. Daiwa uses too much plastic on body on bait casters which scratches/chips paint on plastic easily compared to shimano. But I do love the T-wing system.....
