XG is extra high gear which is good for casting game. And PG is power gear that mean low gear for jigging or bait fishing.

Saltiga vs stella= wet dream

dave scott what did you conclude?

@@armandotorres2283 Um, I have 8 stellas including 5x 2013 model and 3 of the 2020. A 10000pg, and the first person in NZ to get the 2020 30000. I have a 2018 Daiwa Bay Jigger 4000SH, which has the monocoque frame also, and is just a smaller 2020 Saltiga basically and a 2011 Daiwa Catalina 6500H, which I really like. I may get the 2020 Saltiga in 20000 size, since I don't have a 20000 size reel. In NZ Shimano own most the market because they have a service and parts centre, so easy aftermarket service. Daiwa don't and there's only one place that services Daiwa, but not Daiwa owned, so buying a $1800 Daiwa in NZ can be a risky business if a reel grinds to a halt, like what happened the very first time I spun an Okuma Makaira 30000, just spooling it up-horrid grinding sound...took it back to shop and pre-ordered the 1st Stella SW-C 30000 to land in New Zealand. I do all my own servicing, but cannot get the Magseal magnetic oil for less than $2000 for 100ml, and not sure I would be happy opening them up like I do the Shimanos/Penns. I love the Penn Torque and Torque II reels, and think they are a score for half the price of a new Saltiga/Stella. I have them too. Over 50 spinning reels and 30 overheads, like my Daiwa Kyohga 1000SHL and Shimano Ocea Jigger and Alutecnos 80w 2-speed. I have held and spun the new Saltigas, and they are really nice, but trying too hard to be a Stella. Same paint scheme and even copied the sizings of the Stellas. I don't understand it, since Daiwa have always done their own thing. One thing I do prefer on the Saltiga is the new egg knob. If I owned one, it would be the first reel (and maybe some of the new smaller 2020 stella's) that I wouldn't change the knob for an aftermarket one. They are really nice knobs.......that's sounds weird to type lol. If Daiwa get their act together in NZ, I would def get the 20000 Saltiga 2020. Cheers bro

@@Tight--LiNeZ bro...how and why are u so rich??

I have a saltiga and I'm broke as sht

Good choice man! Thanks for comment. Cheers

I love saltiga

Lose penn

Overall performance Stella? Hahhaa

I❤saltiga.it no 1.the gears of saltiga very very strong extremely power.saltiga 2020 very nice reel

So explain how the new twinpower is better than a Certate SW when half its body is made of plastic lol

Body flex and less rigidity. Also it's a two piece body with screws to hold the plates together. Screws can rust and just looks ugly. The monocoque body allows the Certate to house a much thicker, larger and stronger main gear which means more durability, less wear and more power. Enough for your small brain to take? Lol.

⁠@@slyarsenalyou’re arrogant and ignorant. 1 screw monoque body won’t distribute the load efficiently like a normal screwed body that distribute the load evenly and efficiently. I do love Daiwa products they look fantastic and are more to my taste but their technology is not as wise as some thinks and it’s actually bad for the long term. Moreover their customer service is very bad in many regions and the magseald fluid are not sold by daiwa so you actually need to either send the reel to them which isn’t cheap and takes time or to order a non authorized fluids online that does the job but still makes it not convenient to deal with daiwa so do yourself a favor don’t be arrogant and read in forums about daiwa repairs daiwa technologies stack up some real advises from people who work with both daiwa and shimano repairs and knows about the gear technology materials and body and then you could base a good comparison between this reels

twinpower sw is not aim for the big fish, just for big muscle@@slyarsenal

So explain how there's rumors that the certate insides rust after a couple months of usage? Where the tp has alot of screws but has no issues of rusting

But i like shimano..

@@amadmohamad5566 me too i have new stella sw 14000xgc

@@user-ug7mi8jp4z how does the 14000xg stella hold up have you caught any really big fish on it

I too like shimano stella but I don't have a lot of money for buying 😢😢😢

Thank you man cheers!

Anyone translation for me 😅

@@captainsalty7777 "Very good video. Both are tremendous reels. Greetings from the Dominican Republic."

Art Wilborn sweet cheers

Definitely fine! Bigger gear will help them. Check out my other videos already tested them for shore jigging.

@@captainsalty7777 tnx mate was thinking of getting the low gear one but decided to go for xh one. I hope I didn't make a mistake on this one.

Too fast and too big for shore jigging more suitable is 8000 hg or 10000 hg and for heavy game 14000 pg

Specially for rods... Daiwa Australia is just another world.

Daiwa makes the worst drag sound(except for the saltiga and exist) if you don't believe just compare shimano and daiwa same budget reels

Exactly. We all know Messi is the Saltiga and much better!

Light weight for the key. Probably jogging with 18000 Saltiga should be ok but im prefer 14000 for stickbait or popper. Still plenty power plus enough line spool capacity for pe8.

Thank you so much 😊

@@captainsalty7777 You're welcome, bro

Hi need your opinion on dogfight and expedition. Which one you think better for gt popping?

@@fakhrulafdal1847 you can use both but when it comes to the Dogfight it has lot of stopping power but its a big and heavy reel its very hard to use it more than few hours at the time the Expo 5500 its a lot lighter but you can still land big fish if i was going to buy one to spin with it all day it would be the expo 5500

@@danielsjovanoski580 always a fan on shimano but this reel really make me want to try Daiwa. Hold it in tackle shop last week and it just feel right hahaha. Can I know what rod you pair your dogfight with? Or any recommendation for PE 8 or 10 popping rod

@@fakhrulafdal1847 yeah mate I've paired my doghfight with a pe8 temple reef 85 refer very nice rod but hey i would just say if you by the 2020 saltiga 14000 it would cover most of your fishing applications

Hey Cherry. Definitely perfect match 14000 with 150 Tobizo. Don’t go with 18000 too big.

Thanks mate

@@captainsalty7777 iam buy this sw18000 for anyone fish 😄 i have sw14000xgc exchange sw18000hg

The saltiga would probably cast better because of its bigger spool

@@kkainaluu808 This is why I would like to see reasonably objective test to avoid assumptions of this type (this or that - would probably, should probably etc.). Each manufacturer has its own technology and it is not known without a test which one is better in this particular field.

​@@kkainaluu808check the casting test out. Stella casts around 20 meter farther

Yes!!! Me too!!!

lol...korea

All good thanks for your comment. Ok tell me your budget, prefer Shimano or Daiwa? Target fish etc. thanks

CAPTAiN SALTY i dont have problem about the budget i have confusing what could buy one of those.for your choice what is the best reel? I will you use for popping,boat fishing,and sometime i can a well for surf casting.thanks

My opinion new Saltiga mate. You’ll never disappointed.

CAPTAiN SALTY cool.its saltiga 14000XG?

14000XH for Saltiga. 14000XG for Stella both extra high gear. 6.2.1 which is not a great idea for jigging. But perfect for Topwater fishing. But should be ok for 20-30m shallow water jigging I guess.

Thats exactly what i did lol... i know the saltiga is built tough. But i still bought a stella dream came true

Thanks for your comment. Yeah same here in Australia. Shimano service always fast and low cost than Daiwa. Glad you like my videos thanks.

I'm sold on the stella then! Thank you for your help!

Thanks 😊

Preferably like one that folds short less than 160cm

Indian pacific rod, nomad pe8 rod or pe10 👌

@@captainsalty7777 do you know any travel ones?

Thank you appreciated.

@@captainsalty7777 i have also stela 2020 10000 still not used because of the situation,saltiga look nice

Congrats That’s awesome reel.

@@captainsalty7777 thank you bro

We can see that, however what's the purpose? It's less refined, heavy

Definitely bigger I’ve got old 18000h stella you can spool pe8 braid for around 300m. Pe5 should be more could be 500m.

CAPTAiN SALTY so it’s fine if I go with the 14k for surffishing and sometimes jigging?

Yeah 100% more than enough. But XG model is not really good for jigging that’s all.

CAPTAiN SALTY is too fast ? Or to slow ?

Gear ratio not good for jigging 6.2.1. But at shallow water should be ok.

Still using both but Saltiga is little better for me.

Thank you 🙏

@@captainsalty7777 yeah sure mate!..

Hey what are you chasing for? I would go for Saltiga 20k high gear. Depending on target fish and what sort of rods. Cheers

@@captainsalty7777 Great, i just got it yesterday to pair it with my MIssingAtsea PE8 rod. hoping to catch big fish with this big gun. Thanks a lot.

Cheers. Im using it both atm but Stella more favorite.

Shimano is always the best

@@fishingislife34 Shimanophile detected)

Ended up bought couple of new Saltiga. Love it.

In my opinion Shimano service is very than Daiwa service. Daiwa service is very slow and expensive.

I like both but new Saltiga more using it atm

Sweet as

Ha i think the Saltiga is the better looking reel, but that stella is one refined reel , different strokes i guess :)

@@ShorrockPaul if you’re deciding between the two, take comfort in knowing you can’t go wrong haha

@@ballisticlt7452 i Bought the stella (as i stated above) purely on servicability where i live, if i were fishing mainly from boat and had service near me, i would pick the saltiga, no doubt. but i fish from the sandy beach, so not good for the magseals. i can strip the new stella down easily and service.

Best performance also to Saltiga 2020. I have both.

100% they will catch you some of the biggest fish

Depending on your budget. Check out my other full setup video. Zenaq will be perfect match but they are not cheap. Tell me your budget and target fish etc

@@captainsalty7777 I should've mentioned that I'm in the U.S. I would love a Zenaq but can't find anyone to ship one to me. I tried contracting them directly but they didn't reply. Thank you for taking your time to answer!

All good buddy. Thanks for comment. Cheers!

Tomo’s tackle is a dealer in the USA. Not sure about stock

@@toddpossum My wallet will dislike you, But I don't. Thank you for the info!

The stella is the best when it comes for self service. The magseals and the mq body is the reason why no one buys daiwa in my country too.

Both good 👍

100% agree. I think the 2019 Stella went backwards from it's 2013 model. I still have a 2008 Stella and that's still more a solid reel than the latest Stella. For me the current Saltiga blows all of them away

Yeah I’ve got Saltiga expedition 5500h as well. Which is my one of favorite reel. Jigging or casting no problem at all!! You have nice setup good on you!

Yep agreed.

By my experience. The Tuna end up on the deck!

yea but shimano only really has 2 decent reels which are stella and saragosa then the rest are pretty ordinary, in my opinion. I too have 2 stellas and 2 Saltigas and i know which reel i go to when im serious..! saltiga and daiwa all the way, no comparioson if you ask me! would you buy something who only and just specialises in fishing or someone who makes other stuff as well?

ice tee so you really think shimano has only made 2 “decent” reels? If anything they make some of the best low-mid ranged reels on the market. Sienna? Stradic? Spheros? Nasci? All amazing reels. I cant remember the last time daiwa actually made a good reel that was under $600.

@@bruhfish6117 mr kook fishin, you seem to forget daiwas mid range. surely you can see all the other brands are somehow copying daiwas rotor system, wouldnt you agree? i think without being biased Daiwa has the best rotor system no doubt about it.! dont get me wrong i have FJ5k and FK2500 and i think they are ok and same goes for Spheros. I also have a Nasci as well. So i have had some experience with the Shimanos but i keep tend to always go back to daiwa. Have you checked out and i mean have you used the Daiwas Ballistic? they are a mid range, and i tell you ballistic feels so much well made inside and outside, it even looks better!

Haris Buza correction. He removed all the Daiwa reels down from his recommended lists. This is after too many people complained over a period of usage.

Shiuh Yang Chen on his blog, Alan says he removed all the high end Daiwa’s off the list due to complications servicing the mag sealed reels through an independent repairer. Is this what you meant by complaints over a period of usage? www.alanhawk.com/misc/mags.html

@@chenshiuhyang wrong. stop spreading FAKE news or try to lead other people thought top of the line of daiwa reels are unreliable. he removed because the people from other countries where there is no Daiwa service center can't service the reel in their own due to the Magseal oil is only available at Daiwa or Daiwa authorized service... if they need to service the reel they have to send it to Daiwa/Daiwa authorized service which is nightmare for those people. there's nothing wrong with the design/technology.. He clearly said he'll put the Daiwa reel back to the list if Daiwa releases the magseal oil in the market. you're FAKE NEWS like CNN :)

Alan Hawk describes the Saltiga as the only perfect reel he's seen - apparently the Saltigas perfectness has saved his depression. He's not a fan of the new Stella - with all its flaws, he rates it lower than the newest saragosa. He does not list Daiwa reels since they are mag sealed and there are complications in servicing magsealed reels

Love it. Thank you 🙏
