Comments Shimano or Daiwa Fishing Reels? My Honest Personal Opinions After Using These Reels

Both has good reel but I prefer shimano daiwa is very smooth light shimano is much more durable Comment from : Joseph

I’ve had 3 BGs break after one season of surf fishing My Shimano Sienna’s last longer in the surf Maybe just bad luck Comment from : Seeker Is The Glue

I like them both my BG has held the test of time and been dunked I serviced it on my own and works greats still and is still smooth I have a shimano sienna 2500 and I’ve caugh big snapper and small tarpon and i was surprised how amazingly the drag held and how smooth i can retrieve the fish on a small composite body i didn’t feel any flex I think I’m gonna get a nasci or the miravel Lmk Comment from : Shma Wong

Saltist is amazing, lightweight Comment from : Bocaro Man

I have a Shimano IX spinning reel Cost $15 new Had it 9 years already and I can't kill it It's a bare bones reel No ball bearings, no instant anti reverse, no fast gear ratio, all graphite including the spool It's got the old school trigger casting device It's been dropped in sand, saltwater, seaweed Tough as nails Not one single problem I don't wanna deal with maintenance The fish don't care if you're using a fancy reel BTW, Daiwa sucks ass I had an $80 Daiwa exceler that shit the bed after 6 days at the beach My friend bought a new daiwa BG 3 years ago and locked up after getting dunked for 5 seconds I also had a daiwa exceler that cost $120 The plastic nut snapped as I was tightening the hex handle I needed 3 different parts for the exceler I called Daiwa and they didn't have any of the parts in stock Despite the reel only being 3 months old I had a Shimano stradic 10 years ago I needed 4 parts and Shimano had all of them in stock Daiwa reels suck and their customer service sucks Comment from : Krocodile

thats actually by far the most honest review haha thanks! Comment from : Tik Nenutrauk

This is the most comprehensive overview of reels I’ve found that isn’t just a generic affiliate marketing Chanel Thank you! Comment from : M G Productions

I just bought the Diawa crossfire 2500,is it a good reel? Comment from : Shane Ricketts

the vanford is $250, fuego $109 Why are you comapring tototally diference price ranges Comment from : NASTYSODA

Brilliant video, super helpful Thanks Comment from : Anthony Nagle

I have shimano citica and a diawa zillion 100hsl, Citica is so much easier to maintain and the internals are a lot cleaner and simpler Diawa just have too many washers, and random parts, and the case looks like someone went to town in autocad Comment from : Ex8

I fish all the time (2-5 times per week in the summer) and I don't think I've spent over $50 on a rod / reel combo in my life - currently 44 YO Some of my favorite reels are ones I've picked up at goodwill for $2 - $4 each Some older Daiwas and Shimanos that once I cleaned up and greased, worked like new brbrAm I really missing out on anything NOT having a $200+ reel? Comment from : Anthony G

I sold both for years and prefer daiwa but that is not recent, the old school daiwa ss whisker and early luvias and saltiga simply are as new except for scratches, I remember seeing a lot more shimanos come back with issues, just bought two vanfords 500 size and they look great the small reels have been perfect with high level Ian miller rods, forty year old ugly sticks and earlier loomis IMX just great these days dont buy chinese they are our enemy and treat us like that so dont support them Comment from : Keith Prinn

I’m a shimano guy like their bike parts and their reels have stradic and just bought a twin power aluminum body I do not like any of shimano CI reels paint sucks on them Daiwa anti reverse switch is a total weak point Comment from : Mark Kus

what line is on your Shimano Nasci? Comment from : Gabriel ,Cory

Shimano Ultegra is a new well built tank! Comment from : Gleam Tarrest

I sold my twin power and bought two vanford, it's the best reel, lightweight smooth price Comment from : Enriko Mulawarman

Best reel are ShiDiamanowa! Comment from : MO Sic*N*Flow MUAS Yaj

I have a shimano Saragosa 6000 latest model What’s the heaviest fish you’ve landed ? Comment from : RogueLeo

I have a Fuego 4k on a Star 7' and a Nasci 3k on the same rod and honestly the Fuego is lighter but the Nasco does feel more sturdy and better built thats just because of the material used on the body of the Fuego All in all you can't go wrong with either one Comment from : Steven Garland

I use boath Comment from : Andrei A

Shimano baitcaster and for spinning for sure it’s gotta be van staal Comment from : Matt Nguyen

I was thinking of getting either the Shimano 4000 Nasci or Miravel for my semi heavy largemouth and pike rod So, fishing around weeds, but not super heavy cover The Miravel looks interesting with that light weight, but would it be sturdy enough? Any recommendations? Comment from : Alex W

Slammer 4 all the way 🤙🏽 Comment from : Ilaisa Sablay

Thanks for the review What size Saltist MQ do you have? Comment from : Van Lurton

Well at least they’re both better than anything penns ever made Comment from : Trace Reed

nice Comment from : YORZ TV

Shimano or Daiwa? Shimano and Daiwa 🙂 Comment from : Zhenka

The last 20 years we go up to Alaska slamming silvers for a week and only used 3 Shimano Spirex's and 2 of them are still going strong The 3rd one I only lost the handle so I bet the actual reel is still fine Not to mention how many seals have been on the other end of the line for some real rodeo action putting a lot of stress on the set-ups Comment from : Andrettski

I like Shimano Dura ace and Ultegra components for road bikes 🚴 I like Diawa for fishing I have a collection of reels 😊 Comment from : Joe Phetsinorath

The non mag sealed saltist would be the price comparison to the saragosa The sealed fuego I purchased a couple for $79 I believe as part of the salt strong membership I haven't used them I also haven't used my couple mag sealed zillion baitcastersbrbrI have used reels in saltwater several times a week and actually intentionally dunked many I wash them when I get home I've basically had zero issues due to salt/sand with even cheap reels over 30yrs still have 30yr old shimano, abu, daiwa, quantum, MitchellThat are as newbrThe plastic gears in a couple abus are damaged and I have as of yet to fix The bail trip of a couple reels broke, the anti reverse lever on a few reels broke my opinion is threshold never be any of these on any real Some people like o back reel they just ned to be taught different Comment from : R H

They’re both great brand, but to be honest I prefer the looks and aesthetic design of Shimano much more than Daiwa, i know it’s bit biased, Shimano reel design catch my eyes more than Daiwa, in my opinion Shimano looks more beautiful Comment from : Lee Pao

Took advantage of the Black Friday sales to finally invest in a quality reel, and I had the Daiwa Tatula LT and the Shimano Stradic FL as my final two contenders Went with the Stradic FL, can't wait to get it out on the water! Comment from : ShamonaLisa

If you wanna compare a Shimano Saragosa to a Daiwa one you have to choose the Exist or the Airity, if you wanna compare a Vanford or a Stradic you have to choose a BG MQ, a Caldia MQ or a Freams Comment from : Francesco Abbate

Thank you very much for your educational and very helpful video I really appreciate your real time experience on these products Comment from : m-reza abazar-Ghafari

You ever try out the slammer3/4 or spinfishers vi? Those are really smooth, and built like a tank Recently got a Diawa backbay and it is even smoother, but not as water tight and feels cheaper, even though it is more than the spinfisher vi The one thing I don't like about the back bay is that you can feel up and down movement in the main gear as you are spinning it, and it makes a noise I sent one back and got a replacement and it is doing the same You notice any play like that in the Saltist MQ? Seems like it is a more beefier version of the backbay Comment from : J toker

OMG your video is proofing my point lol So many of your Diawa reels broke Comment from : TIGHTT88

I personally like Diawa and Shimano but they are very over rated Are they smooth? Hell yeah but they break sooooo easily I have had a Revos and Regal break on me within a year While my Quantum Throttle II is just as smooth, has a full aluminum body, 11BB and laser cut aluminum gears for the same price as the Revos Please everyone don’t not buy Shimano or Diawa Buy Quantum They are better for less money Comment from : TIGHTT88

Saltiga beats the Stella Comment from : eve stefan

Compare with Shimano?The Daiwa Saltiga not beats the Stella but it's the best high end reel to date Comment from : eve stefan

I'll take my visser and Van Staal and you can take any diawa or shimano and we can sit in the surf reeling our reels under water and see which one seizes up first! Ready when you are Comment from : Brian Christy

Thanks Comment from : Steven V

Personal tip for choosing reels: just go for Stella or Exist Shimano or daiwa doesn’t matter, all personal preference Just go for their top line product, it will save you time and money choosing between mid range products and upgrading over the years Comment from : Wade Zhang

I pretty much just buy mid range Diawa reels, I find them fantastic but shimano are also great if you buy a reel from either brand it's gonna be a good reel Comment from : solidus784

I have a fuego and it's 💩 Comment from : Brandon Peeler

Ive had one of the older shimano nasci 4000 for 5 years or so, i surf fish with it, its been dunked in saltwater several times when the surf knocks me over, been full of saltwater, i clean it after every trip and the bearings are still as smooth as the day I bought it Comment from : Fat Outdoors Channel

Thanks Comment from : Randy Coe

I feel like there’s not much conversation on rod recommendations would be awesome to see a video on that Comment from : Gio

Can you do a review on the Daiwa Certate because I think it blows everything away for the price You get all the internal functions of the $1k daiwa exist but not in a magnsium frame, its aluminum Comment from : Vill801

Shimano BLOWS!!! Comment from : Telecat Johnson

To me the ballistic is the smoothest it's like reeling air where as other reels I've tried are more of a tight smooth Comment from : William Dougie

I purchased a 4000 bg mq i wonder if the rotor on the saltist is different do you know? Comment from :

The Nazis? What the ! Comment from : Truth Sower

I’m probably out of my depth but what’s the best reel for a beginner at $50-$75?brbrEdit: Ok I upped my budget to $100… anyone… Bueller… Bueller? Comment from : Greg

What size / model do you recommend for super-smooth action inshore fishing mackerel, kingfish, drum, snook, stripers and bluefish Comment from : rhino ranch

i just started surf fishing seriously and went out and bought a popular name composite body 4000 size reel and put it on a tsunami nine foot airwave rod everything was great and i could cast all day and it was nice and comfortable till i hooked up with a few good size blue fish that nice light weight reel twisted and flexed so bad as i brought those fish in i thought it was gonna blow up i said to myself what if i hook into a big bass, i'm screwed did some research and bought a metal body diawa bg in 3500 size and never looked back lil heavier than that composite body reel but no more flexing on the big ones Comment from : ron truocchio

Well covered vid! Me personally I prefer having both since its like Yin and Yang but like what you said Either ways both brands are great Comment from : Im the best thing since sliced Rice

Damn thought I was looking at a young Bill Clinton! HAAHAA Comment from : RiverRuns NC

I don’t know man But shimano doesn’t seem work for me Had the FJ 5000 that everyone claiming to be best reel, took the damn reel for saltwater fishing The next day, I can’t crank the damn reel Pay the money and get it fix, the line bearing issue is started to cause another problem Bought the FK version, took the reel for fishing, the next day the reel is so hard to crank Found out there is an issue with line roller bearing again Try Daiwa saltist one, I never look back at shimano again I even drop this damn reel into the ocean and never clean it, and it still works until today The only thing that I hate about Daiwa is their T-handle knob Comment from : vsonic86

Daiwa all the way You wouldn't believe some of the rods and reels they make for the Japanese and Australian market that are just beyond incredible that Americans never even get to see Some serious high dollar stuff Try to find the Australian saltiga maverick reels Comment from : stripervince1

Good review bro, thank you Would suggest that the Fuego is more aligned with the Nasci than it is the Stradic/Vanford Otherwise very useful content Thanks man Appreciate the review Comment from : Duncan Thorpe

Very nice review Comment from : Mike Pereira

Daiwa is weak in US market Comment from : HanFei

The Gosa is the GO TOalllllday Comment from : Tony Floro

Well,I use Stellas,Exists,Exsence,SW Twin power,Really being Honest have no preference for "Daiwa" or "Shimano" both makes of High end reels do the businessNo preference Comment from : EffectiveBirdControl

What size star rod vpr are you using on that setup? Comment from : knifeguru

I own both shimano and Diawa spinning reels I love my stradic fj 5000 it's been a work horse My wife bought me a saltiga 4000 for our wedding and it is a great reel I have a diawa lexa 2500 that was the most expensive reel i had bought to that time, and it has caught tons of spanish and bluefish To me the diawas hold more line for their size, not the biggest deal Basically if you spend around 150 or more on a diawa or shimano you are gonna be set pretty well Comment from : Hobbyoftheday

Why compare a 240 reel with a 100 fuego 🤔 Comment from : marc sal

5000 vanford or 6000 saltist for 8foot inshore rod casting lightweight baits to snook, jacks, and smaller tarpon? The lightweight vanford is soo enticing with that amount of drag but I just hope it would hold up to the bigger fish On paper it looks like it would Comment from : Jerry Davis

Get good quality ceramic bbs, shimano seems too stupid for this part, it even happens with their latest reels, still shimano ahead for me n alot out there , overall performance n durability is their highest pros Comment from : Maasai

Nothing beats Shimano; just my experience Comment from : Mitchell Vang

Anyone who still says Shimano is better than Daiwa has never fished a Diawa MQ series Comment from : John D

only time reels really matter is for salt water use as to fresh water any reel will last and feel like it its fresh from the store every time you take it out Comment from : User Name

Hrmm I feel like lightness is a quality but "feel quality" should be a factor aswell The vanford feels like junk Comment from : kong xiong

I agree 100 I have a BGMQ 4000,stradic fk 5000, vanford 5000, twin power FD4000, for my inshore slaying I would love a saltist mq 4000 For my surf fishing I went with a 6000 twin power SW, BG4500, BGMQ 6000, I have a problem I can’t stop buying them lol I love super light set ups so the vanford 5000 feels so far super super super light, it’s almost not even fair The bgmq both are really really nice, but not as nice as my twin power or my stradic fk Comment from : Steven Silva

Hi matebrbrSaltist MQ 4k Compare to 4k BG do they have same spool size ? Comment from : Ahmet Aşkar

Dude great video, a lot of help for people who's looking to buy a reel!! thank you Comment from : The coast life!

An interesting comparison would be the Vanford vs Ballistic MQ lt Comment from : costaplenty74

Always liked Shimano but Daiwa has MQ technology which is better i think Comment from : costaplenty74

vanford !!! crap hate that reel i regret that i bought one wimply plastic and everything gets loose i tried cast som small 8 grams blade baits it cant handle that vanford is garbage Comment from : cpunktc81

Are these videos filmed in new Smyrnabeach Florida? Comment from : Raul hernandez

For the MQ saltist on the side where the mq letters are, the screw right under the rotor for the bail flip is way too big it really annoys me But on the other side of the saltist with the decorative blue rings it looks amazing On the other hand shimano looks good from all angles plus they have shielded anti rust bearings Daiwa dosent even have shielded bearings Daiwa dosent even mention what type of bearings they put in the saltist Plus you cant take mq reels apart which another thing thats annoying to me Comment from : ryan helou

I’m a big diawa Bg fan Comment from : ReelinTension

is it a coincidence that Lawson just bought a calcutta at the same time as you put this video out :) Comment from : Shadeflayer

Great info with fairness alike Comment from : Bob Muchler

I use basically all PennFeirce and beat the crap out of them Broke one on a 10+ gator but that was my fault I got one Fuego for a good deal but it feels cheaper than the fierce Good review on your reels I'd get a stratic but I'm a cheapo 🤙 Comment from : Dustin and Sawyer

what power and action is ur VPR? Comment from : Rafa Rafa

The stradic is one of the best reels ever made That being said, I love my quantum smokes Comment from : Reel Gangsta

Vanford is 🔥but hands down best reel I’ve ever used was the old school ci4 + with the foam handle, caught thousands of fish on that thing with a single roller bearing! 😂 Comment from : JD DUVALL

Shimano has recently become my favorite brand after owning a 3000stradic fl and vanford for almost a year They are much more fine tuned and refined reels for their price point than Daiwa A tip for the line rollers on Shimano, wiping the bearing off and putting a small drop of clenzoil on each side will make that line roller last very long My gear gets heavy use wading and off the kayak and all of them have gotten doused at least a couple times The first nice reel I owned was a Daiwa ballistic 2500 and it barely lasted over a year The anti reverse completely corroded and locked up and I had never dunked that reel I was sold on the mag seal initially, but believe the salt got in through that crappy anti reverse switch, 70 dollar repair Comment from : Tyler Jones
