Daiwa Presso 8' Ultralight Spinning Rod | Stress Test / Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 жов 2020
- I have seen a lot of videos on this Daiwa Presso 8' rod recently so I decided to buy one. It surpassed all my expectations becoming one of my favorite rods to use. Aesthetically looks amazing and feels quite unique. It has a real good back bone with out losing any sensitivity but don't think you can pull fish bigger than a pound straight out the water, you'll need to have a net ready or take them out on the sand. Here are some fish I caught in some environments not really suited for an ultra light rod. Hope you enjoy!

imma cop this rod and reel after this review 🥶
You are working out the Presso rod to its maximum capability. I did that with my 6'6" Quantum ultralight rod and snapped it trying to land a halibut.
That’s the worse, you always want to have the pics of mine that the rod can handle a bigger fish.
Nice combo 🎣👍
Thanks
Nice video dude! Presso’s are pretty great UL rods. I started out with the 6’ about a decade ago then bought a 4’ a few years later. Both rods are awesome. The blanks have the perfect fast taper with a stout backbone. I’ve landed 22” smallmouth with the 6’. I’ve been at my current place of work for a month at a pretty big locally owned outdoor store in Michigan. Needless to say an 8’ Presso left with me after work today. And, with my employee discount it was $45. I got a 1000 size Daiwa Fuego yesterday and I’m super stoked to use this combo! :)
That’s a perfect set up. I got the 9’ recently to do UL fishing off the surf. It’s super sensitive still w all that current and waves
@@belowaveragefishing4771hi, looks ver fun fishing with ul for saltwater, recently looking for 8ft, only able see 9ft, wondering how stiff is compared to 8ft, and how you like it so far?, I am planning micro jig / pencil fishing for small blue fish, sparkle trout, thx
Ok, you cannot make a comment like a comment like that and not have someone ask if you are referring to JAY'S.
That store in both locations was where I spent a lot of my time during my childhood.

Nailed it. Jay's is an awesome place and I've been there just over a year now. I couldn't imagine working in a better environment. I've bought more fishing gear in the last year than I have in the last decade lol.
@@ryanwilson5936 Yes. My father grew up in the Claire and Farwell area, and actually bought a firearm from the founder when he was still operating from home just getting started.
I got my 8ft press rod there on a trip back from Da UP.
I put JAY'S above bass pro or Cabela's.
Great stress test. Salt water fishing will put that rod to the test.
Yea it’s a great rod, I still use it in the surf and had zero issues with it
@@belowaveragefishing4771 Awesome I just freshwater fish and it should handle most of what I may run into.
@@noobpyrotech9991 definitely it’s a really good rod
Hey mate just wondering what weight of lures you were able to get away with thinking about getting the Presso 662ULFS but wanna be sure ill be able to throw slightly heavier lures maybe 18grams or so with ease cheers love your work mate looking forward to hearing back
18 is pretty heavy. I maxed it out at 8g and it’ll cast it out fine but working it wasn’t as good (for the 8ft model) my 6’6 maybe 7 grams is max it’s a true UL the 8ft it’s closer to a ML
So for have broken two, I was NOT horsing in the fish. Both snapped at 3rd guide. It is a great rod but just has limits.
Yea, also there’s bad batches. It sucks for sure.
These rods were greatly undervalued and are near impossible to source any longer. The model still available (pack rod) is not anything like the other models and breaks very easily.
Daiwa has learned and now offers VERY expensive high end versions.
Fun to see it really getting put to task.
Yeah, it is one of my favorite rods! Here in Los Angeles, I started to see tackle shops stocking up again. I think because of the pandemic maybe the production slowed down but I have seen the 5' to 8' rods but none of the 9' and 11'. Hopefully those will be coming soon as well.
@@belowaveragefishing4771 I managed to order the 5ft version here in Europe. Going to use it for trout and perch. The shop is called waveinn, they had all the versions when I last checked.
@@user-rl6wr2ny7f sick, they’re great rods
@@belowaveragefishing4771 Absolutely an amazing rod for the price. Puts some of my more expensive rods to shame. Perfect action for jigging. Had no issues setting the hook on grayling and flicking out sub 1g lures.
@@user-rl6wr2ny7f daiwa nailed it with that rod!
How far do you think you can cast with this using a 1/4 ounce lure? I'm thinking of getting one to cast farther than I can with my 6ft rod.
It casts pretty far maybe 40-50 yards. The big thing is using thin braid. I use this one w 8 lb J braid and it flings anything. W a 1/4 ounce spoon I was almost doubling my casting distance. It’s a fun rod for sure and one of the few quality 8ft ul you can get for under $80
@@belowaveragefishing4771 Did you know they offer an 11ft UL Fast Presso too? It also specifies 1/4 oz as the max lure rating. Principle suggests this would cast even farther than your setup, right?
@@CakeZRqGoTR definitely but an 11ft rod will be a bit more technical cast. What type of fishing are you trying to get it for?
@@CakeZRqGoTR you might sacrifice technic/action fir distance.
@@belowaveragefishing4771 Lake Trout and possibly Steelhead. Standard retrieve spinners and trying to jig raps or bladebaits from a float. I'm relatively new to fishing. I don't have a boat or kayak, so I want to be able to land a lure out there on relatively still lakes.
What size is your reel?
2500 legalis
I have a 1000 size Shimano on mine right now lol, took it down to ocean side pier and smashed them Macs lol. Cool video and I love my 8ft presso.
@@LilDino808 yes the 8ft is perfect for the piers & jetties. And that rod for the price is super sensitive!
Joran presso nya harga brp?
