I own all three of these reels and the slammer isn’t even in the same ball park as the other two. I burned through it in half a season while the other two are still just as good as they were and have been fished harder

I used my Slammer DX 6500 for both bait and lure application. But need a 13' rod for bait and a 10' for lure.

Doesn't the Saltist have a magnesium alloy for the gears?

Tôi sở hữu cả 3 máy này size 8000 8000 và Slammer 6500 , Saltist tốt nhất nhưng tiếng drag hơi nhỏ so với Saragosa .Thứ 2 là Saragosa 675g hơi nặng nhưng ổn định , cảm giác kéo cá ko đầm như Saltist và slammer đc . Slammer thì cảm giác kéo cá khá chắc chắn ngang Saltist nhưng không mượt bằng và điều tệ nhất là tiếng drag nhỏ xíu không phấn khích như Saragosa 😅

Saragossa 8000-10000 best reel IMO

@alucardhellsing1037 9 ай бұрын

In South Africa the Daiwa Saltist and Shimano Saragosa reels are use to target and catch sharks from the shore. Thats why we pioneered the short butt surf casting spinning rods. We also pioneered the non return slide, dingle dangle, latex bait cotton etc etc etc.

What would u take for casting over and over inshore all day a disease saltiest 3000 or a Saragosa 5000

@BigSteve34 Жыл бұрын

Inshore would definitely go with the 3000 size not a 5000

@CurtCatchemFishing Жыл бұрын

I’ve gotta 5k gosa on a med heavy fenwick elite inshore 7’6 usually use for snook around heavy structure and a 10k gosa on a 7’2 heavy terez. Which would be better suited for tarpon?

@tailwateroutfitters Жыл бұрын

If you’re casting lighter baits pretty far, like on the beach, and they’re not very big fish, then the 5k will work, but it’s definitely light. The 10k and terez would be better, but I like longer rods for tarpon. They tend to keep the fish on better and help you cast further.

What reel is good for surf fishing? Usually use cut bait for anything that will bite

@tailwateroutfitters 2 ай бұрын

The best would be a van staal VR or X2. Some other good alternatives would be a Saragosa or a BG MQ for a more budget friendly option

Well here in southern california all you need is 2500- 3000 size reel ML - M rod really. But it comes down to preference

Is the Penn 6500 equivalent to the Gosa and Saltist in size?

@Tyler_Harkins 3 ай бұрын

Yes. Penns run big, so just pay attention to line capacity and weight of the reel when comparing to others.

Ive caught a 35 pound king mackerel and a 25 pound tarpon on my Saragossa 6000 not the gen that just came out but the one before with 22 pounds of drag .. It made it look easy with a strong rod it’s impressive what you can do with little drag !

@JoeyMo973 4 ай бұрын

I have a 6K Gosa. I hooked a 250lb (approx) stingray from the beach chasing redfish down in the OBX. He was screaming drag so hard I almost snapped my finger trying to slow it down. Cranked it down to probably 95% drag and stopped him with maybe 30 yards of line left on the spool. Was using 50lb braid FWIW. Took me over an hour to get him on the beach but that reel performed flawlessly. I've now bought 4 more Gosas in various sizes. Absolutely worth it for the money

is the saltist mq much better then just the plain saltist? about a $100 price diff

@Rpark1214 3 ай бұрын

The biggest difference is the weight. The saltist feels heavy like a bg

Conventional or fly gear for me….. have never like spinning reels… otherwise known as an upside down egg beater…. Too many moving parts like the bale…. that spins ….WTF do you actually need a one for …???? The bale-less spinner makes sense… maybe… but not so much …! I’m guessing spin gear users just can’t cast a conventional reel… I’ve never seen spin gear on a tuna party boat…… the reason being is …. Spin gear is too slow and not enough power for tuna and everyone will be waiting for you and they will be PISSED OFF AT YOU …. Don’t be that guy…!
