Just absolutely blown away by the NZ footage already, got me frothing by the mouth as I’m stuck in Sydney. I would personally go on the lighter side and put 20-30lb braid, and up to 40-50lb fluoro for stickbaiting kings in Sydney harbour. Keen to see what you’ve got for next weeks video.
*Nice reel so far **enjoyable.fishing** recommend used it for about an hour after getting it from Amazon and functioned flawlessly. Very smooth retrieve and the anti reverse is perfect. Feels like a reel that would be double the price.*
Trying to decide between this daiwa saltist and the tsunami salt x. Opinion? Would love to know what u think! Coukd sway my decision. Thanx for the work u put in
Very pertinent timing Byron. I've been researching the Saltist MQ (they're not available retail yet) as another snapper set-up for 10kg soft-baiting here in Port Stephens. I'd be keen to get a comparison of the Saltist v's the Certate. I love my Certates, but boy does it hurt when you lose one... Recently had a snapper (presumably) snap a Samurai Reaction rod below the reel seat with a Certate and take it overboard.
I would use the Saltist MQ to target Pelagics like Kingfish and Bonitos using 30lb line! A bit light and dangerous with the risk of being smoked involved but a lot of fun! Great review video Byron! Very keen to see your vlog of your NZ trip - on my bucket list of fishing destinations!
Your production is top notch mate! Just learning the ropes here and know how much work it takes to put together this type of quality - I look forward to picking up some tips. as for the reel, i would spool it up with 20lbs test braid and would use it for stripers, blues and albies here in the North East of Long island NY. Thanks!
You are a talented and engaging presenter Byron. The streaming quality of your videos is a cut above the rest - even on the water the picture is crisp. I’d target inshore jewies with some of that Tasline you talked about. Sounds like I need to try it!
Awesome Byron. Looking forward to seeing your video of the NZ trip. I'd target Snapper and Gummies here in Tassie. Probably use 40lb braid. Are you going to do a review of the Tasline braid from Burley Pro ?
Insane vid! Can't wait to see the NZ vlog. I lived there for 3 years fly fishing for trout and salmon and chasing pelagics in the salt. Such an incredible place! As for the reel I'd chase king's on my yak with 30lb braid and 40lb leader!
NZ is just breath taking. Love the imagery and can’t wait for next weeks video. I’d use the reel to target snapper, salmon, school tuna and kingfish with 20lbs or 40lbs depending on what I’m chasing.
These things look great mate. I was so impressed by Daiwas recent product launch. For a 4000 size, I’d be targeting Port Phillip Bay Snapper with 20lb braid.
Really looking forward to the NZ footage suspect it is going to be epic. I would like to target Mulloway on 30-40lb. With regards to reel comparisons, I'd be very interested in your views on the Revelry FC MQ and the 21 TD Black MQ.
Interesting vid as always Byron. So is the knob the same size for all sizes in the range or is it matched to the reel? Interested to hear your thoughts on the TD black you matched to the 3000 Saltist. If I was to have a 4000 size, I would likely load it with 30lb braid. As I'll be in the market for a suitable outfit for my Son to tackle our local kingfish this season, this is one of the reels I will look at. Great job as always
Bryon - can you do a braid shootout? Not just a comparison of a couple of different brands, but a long term review to show how different lines stack up after getting dunked time and again in saltwater.
Awesome review of the saltist. I would use it for snapper and jewies. I would probably use 20 - 30 lb line. Also would love your thoughts on the Tasline its a line that i have been looking at trying
Really keen to see your NZ trip videos mate, looks epic from the preview. For the reel I’ll spool up with 20-30lb of braid, primarily for targeting snapper from kayak and/or sambo from surfcasting.
Great video again BTH! You deserve a MUCH bigger audience - I'm sure it will come. For the kind of fishing I do, would probably be jewies off the beach with 20lb braid.
Wow what a video!!! I would love to fish NZ !!! If I had the chance to use this 4000 I’d probably target talior off the beach and snapper in the yak using 20-30lb x9 braid in Jervis bay or go 10-15lb to target flattys and Mullaway in St Georges basin !!!
I’ve got an old 4000 from 10 yrs ago and it’s still good. A Jarvis Walker Sovereign Series. Love it. People like you though have changed the way I think about my fishing methods. Used to target Bream and smaller Estuary fish with it and a bloody surf rod! So with the new MQ, by the way saw the Daiwa release show, wow some of those reels!, I’d target bigger Estuary fish Jewfish and Flathead with 20 lb j - Braid. Maybe 30 lb leader.
Great review mate. For the reel, I'd use 20lb braid for snapper in the bay. Just got a compass so the gear will combo nicely on the new yak! NZ footage looks excellent can't wait for the upcoming vid.
Epic video Byron 🎥🎣👍🏼 Would love the new Saltist MQ pair it up with PE 4 for Jewfish and Kings landbased !! Interested to see the what's new with Daiwa.. keep the new gear reviews coming 🤑
Mate! Glad you liked it dude. There's a couple of reels in the background that are Daiwa, those reviews will come soon, and sure to keep us fisho's broke.
@@ByronTeaHill Watched the showcase and was frothed up on the new reels that's for sure ! Can't wait !! Very excited about the new revelrys and Caldia LT 21 👍🏼🎣
Awesome footage and great review on the reels. I would spool it with 30lb braid targeting salmon, bonito, tailor and kingies off the breakwall and rocks!
The sickest reel review footage I've seen to date. Awesome review! Would love to target Blue Dotted Coral Trout in the East Kimberley. Can't wait for your NZ trip videos.
Yew - I love going to NZ chasing snapper and kingys and in saying that I would use this reel chasing them down around jervis bay. I love the 20lb braid setup for this. In other videos you put a lot of info regarding recording gear, any chance you could start adding rod and reel combos? Would like seeing what combos you use for all those bream!!! A was smashing that box for the NZ adventure below - can’t wait for that footage?!!!!
Love the NZ footage Byron. I would definitely go on the lighter side and put 20-25lb braid and 40-45lb fluoro. I would go and chase some big snapper and it would definitely be fun in the lighter side in my opinion
How good does NZ look and fish! Great footage mate, looking forward to more over the coming weeks. I would love the new 4000 Saltist. 30lb braid with 50lb leader to chase the metery Cod's in my local, Googong dam
Beautiful scenery and a great review! First time viewer of your channel; very professional 👍 For my 'big lap of Australia' planned for next year (that I've waited 40+ years for), the Saltist 4000 would be a beautiful 'do it all' reel when space-limited for the amount of tackle I can take. Spooled with the incredible Daiwa Saltiga 12 EX braid in PE2 it will cover impoundment Barra, Longtail Tuna and do service as a surf/rock reel; perfect 'do-it-all' reel (and it looks gorgeous!)
Hi Byron, I would spool the saltist up with siglon advance in PE2.5 and use it for snapper on soft plastics. Can’t wait to see the NZ footage. Before your next trip I would recommend trying an overhead reel For live baits, jigging & slow pitch I much prefer overhead reels for this as I find it more user friendly, better contact with the jig, easier to get a rhythm going and a bit more control in the fight 👍
definitely looks like a upgrade from the old slatist. I'd use the 4000 as my light tailor reel from the beach and rocks, filled with 20Lb line. Is that the new Revelry in the background or a gekka? if so looking forward to your thoughts compared to the old luvias
I got the Saltist MQ 20000 for popping, jigging, and stick bait fishing for the 100-150 lb bluefin tuna that have made permanent residence here in Southern California. Good times!
Great footage. Visually striking. I would go with 30lb Dangan braid. I would pair it with a Bone travel rod. Fish species I would use it for would include: Snapper, Tailor, Queenfish, Tarpon.
@@ByronTeaHill So you already have use one already? Nice. Can't wait for that next video of you using that reel. Cos i pick up a old TD black rod for 80$. That's why I'm now saving up for the new TD black MQ reel. Thanks for the heads up. Always love watching your UA-cam channel
great review Byron n looking forward to the NZ mammoth snap vids. the first time i seen this reel was at icast n then i watched the daiwa australia product release to get more info from an aussie point of view. i had already made my mind up from icast so i am buying 2 saltists wen they arrive. the daiwa product release cemented that for me. i will be getting 2 5000s n putting them on 2 of the new saltige 9 surf rods for chasing jew on soft swimbaits from the headlands n cutters leading into the headlands. why 2, different line classes n leaders. keep up the gud work mate.
good to hear man, glad you liked the video and stopped by! seems like there's a bunch of you that I find myself replying to every week! the support is real!
@@ByronTeaHill mate ur reviews r unbias no matter the circumstance of how u got the product, also there is no spiel. i find ur content gud to watch n u present ur self well on the camera. also there is no yahooing n noisy music.
NZ looks Epic mate!! Can’t wait to see the rest. The Saltist looks like a beautiful reel too. I’d love to have a good setup for chasing Longtail Tuna in the bay, a 4000 size with 30lb braid. One can dream…
Great review Byron! The new Saltist in the 4000 looks like the perfect all-round inshore reel - would give it a run on snapper / mulloway set ups with PE 2.
For the 4000 definitely hit the beautiful red snapper soft baiting in the yak 30lb braid would be my preferred. Can’t wait to get back out. Such a great vid excited for all the other footage of NZ.
So keen for NZ trip mate, it looks amazing already. I'd chuck some 20lb Tasline on, I've been debating whether to upgrade my reels for some time now. I'd use it for spotties, spanish, snapper, sweetlip and longies in the bay, as well as jacks, jewies and some biggggg flatties in the estuaries and canals. Keep up the awesome work, hands down the best fishing youtuber out there
I’d try chasing mulloway off the rocks which is something I’ve wanted to do for ages but never had a suitable setup for it. And I’d probably run 20-25lb braid on it. P.s Is that white reel in the back an Abu maxpro?
awesome video, personally i would use the reel for throwing little stick baits at small school bluefin tuna and maybe even some little deep drops 30-40 pound braid
I would target snapper in the shallow reefs where I live in the sth east of SA, I’d be putting 20lb on it tbh, I use that fine diameter to smash out massive casts and the snaps aren’t xos here so makes it awesome fun! You were so lucky to make that trip, I remember the lockdowns happened just about a day b4 either side of the dates you travelled! Couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke tho! Was so happy you made it
Great video! 😃 Can’t wait for the saltist MQ! 1. Would spool it with Daiwa Saltiga 12 Braid. 0.14 PE 1.2 - 12,2 KG 2. Sea bass 70+ CM (bucket list) / codfish.
I would use the reel for snapper off the rocks and the line would be probably be 15-25 lb braid most likely j-braid. Just a question what was the biggest snapper you got?
NZ is epic - I did the mountains but never made it to the coast. I would bottom bash big soft plastics for snapper and mowong using the 4000 with 20lb jbraid. The reel aesthetics are mint! Great review and footage again 🤙
Hey Byron .. geez they got it good over there, some thumper reds 👌🏻 and in 2m of water. I’d be running that 4000 with 30lb j braid grand chasing some break-wall Jewfish with the new bait junkie paddle tails, pearl gudgeon or some live poddys 👍🏻 Cheers for the awesome content again and the opportunity, it’s appreciated! 🍻
With the 4000 reel I would probably spool it with 20-30 pound braid and uses it for spinning the surf gutters here in down south for some big greenback salmon
Awesome looking reel, love the electric blue but even more so... WHAT AN EPIC LOOKING TRIP!!! Great catches and great info, as usual. I'd be looking to spool on some 20lb braid with the 4000 and I think it would work a treat heading into the spring. Looking to do some light shore jigging off the rocks (maybe a Kingie or two) or that dream, trophy snapper down deep.
I’d be targeting kings on the surface in the hacking. Spooled with pe 1.5/2 casting braid. Pair it with daiwa’s td black slugger and a Berley pro hat 👌🏽 best content loving it!!!
Nice video, you had an epic trip by the looks of things. I recon I'd load it with 40lb braid to chase shore based fish off the rocks down south wa using soft plastics. Thanks for you great work editing you media for us to watch 🤙🤙
So keen on this reel! I would target some snapper off the Newcastle reefs and use it for my DPI flathead tracking as well. Would have to sit it with 15lb braid.
BT living the dream again catching stonker after stonker!!! Love it. For me the 4000 with some gosen casting braid on there around that 40lb mark chasing kings landbased. Tis nearly the season 👀
Bloody sensational footage and review Byron. Everything I wanted to hear. Had my eye on these Saltist MQ reels since their release! Initially I was going to match my BG 4000s but may even consider the 3000 like you said with 15 lb braid for the Port Phillip Snapper this season….. I hate fishing heavy now , I guess it’s the finesse Bream man coming out in me?After all it is a sport! Cheers , and see you at the Nicho🤞
looking to get this reel. Been using bg 2500 for years, salt to fresh water. boy daiwa impresses me with how well the hold up. I TRY to take good care of my reels, but Daiwa holds up to the abuse. I have had more penn reels crap out on me. Still like penn, rods for sure, but Daiwa is my go to.
Hey mate once again great info on the new daiwa saltist. def need to enter the comp cheers mate, so I would target macs and tuna off of moreton bay and be using 30lb Fins Braid on that bad boy> also would love to see a saltist vs penn slammer review, just a thought
Good Solid Review! Was keen to see what they were like since they got released on the daiwa night...I'd probably use them for a western port setup for snapper and gummies using 30lb braid either in J-Braid Grande or Nomad Pandora depending on if I needed more abrasion resistance
Just absolutely blown away by the NZ footage already, got me frothing by the mouth as I’m stuck in Sydney. I would personally go on the lighter side and put 20-30lb braid, and up to 40-50lb fluoro for stickbaiting kings in Sydney harbour. Keen to see what you’ve got for next weeks video.
Yeah mate, the place is special - got real lucky with the trip / the company / the fishing was insane!! Thanks for the comment and the entry legend!
@@ByronTeaHill an experience of a life time that’s for sure
*Nice reel so far **enjoyable.fishing** recommend used it for about an hour after getting it from Amazon and functioned flawlessly. Very smooth retrieve and the anti reverse is perfect. Feels like a reel that would be double the price.*
can’t wait for next weeks video Byron… I’d spool this reel with 20lb and chase snapper with it. Thought Daiwa would let you keep those reels?
Thanks Julio, nah - When Daiwa offered me them to try the deal was they needed them back.
Trying to decide between this daiwa saltist and the tsunami salt x. Opinion? Would love to know what u think! Coukd sway my decision. Thanx for the work u put in
Great video , I really enjoyed it .
Question , how much of PE 2 braid , approx
X 0.23mm can the 3000 take .
Best estimate ?
Very pertinent timing Byron. I've been researching the Saltist MQ (they're not available retail yet) as another snapper set-up for 10kg soft-baiting here in Port Stephens.

I’d target inshore jewies with some of that Tasline you talked about. Sounds like I need to try it!
Wow, thank you! Tight lines mate.
I am thinking 30lb braid .. for thread fin salmon on port Brisbane & for my Barra trip on November👊
Awesome Byron. Looking forward to seeing your video of the NZ trip. I'd target Snapper and Gummies here in Tassie. Probably use 40lb braid.
Are you going to do a review of the Tasline braid from Burley Pro ?
Hadn’t thought about it Collin, may be something to consider!!! Thanks for the entry Collin.
Great review. I chase snapper on soft plastics and would love a 4000 reel. I'd spool it with 20lb J Braid in blue.

It is awesome, hopefully we do an OK job at telling the story!
Thanks legend.
My thoughts exactly, love to see Byron test the rest of the new release MQs…….also got my eye on the Revelry range!
Interesting vid as always Byron.
So is the knob the same size for all sizes in the range or is it matched to the reel?

Shit maybe! which lines you want to see
Awesome review Byron I would use the 4000 reel with PE2 Island blue j braid for my jewie set up.
Thanks Gary!!!
Great review. How good is New Zealand. Could see myself chasing some small tuna on this and some Tassie snapper.
Tony! the best dude 100%

@@ByronTeaHill have you tried it in 4lb or 6lb for say bream fishing

Entered! Mate thanks

For the 4000 definitely hit the beautiful red snapper soft baiting in the yak 30lb braid would be my preferred. Can’t wait to get back out. Such a great vid excited for all the other footage of NZ.
Glad you liked it buddy. thanks for entering mate
So keen for NZ trip mate, it looks amazing already. I'd chuck some 20lb Tasline on, I've been debating whether to upgrade my reels for some time now. I'd use it for spotties, spanish, snapper, sweetlip and longies in the bay, as well as jacks, jewies and some biggggg flatties in the estuaries and canals. Keep up the awesome work, hands down the best fishing youtuber out there
Hell yeah that would be good! mate really nice of you to say, thanks Jared!!! bloody legend
I’d try chasing mulloway off the rocks which is something I’ve wanted to do for ages but never had a suitable setup for it. And I’d probably run 20-25lb braid on it.
P.s Is that white reel in the back an Abu maxpro?
Background of the thumbnail? no idea :)
awesome video, personally i would use the reel for throwing little stick baits at small school bluefin tuna and maybe even some little deep drops 30-40 pound braid
Awesome
Sick video man! looks like an awesome location. 🤙
Would probably use the Saltist on snapper and gummies with saltiga braid PE 2.0 36lb
Thanks Callum
I would target snapper in the shallow reefs where I live in the sth east of SA, I’d be putting 20lb on it tbh, I use that fine diameter to smash out massive casts and the snaps aren’t xos here so makes it awesome fun!
You were so lucky to make that trip, I remember the lockdowns happened just about a day b4 either side of the dates you travelled! Couldn’t happen to a nicer bloke tho! Was so happy you made it
mate I was so lucky and you're memory serves you well. Lockdowns on either side of the trip!
Great video! 😃
Can’t wait for the saltist MQ!
1. Would spool it with Daiwa Saltiga 12 Braid. 0.14 PE 1.2 - 12,2 KG
2. Sea bass 70+ CM (bucket list) / codfish.
You're in! Thanks Rik!
@@ByronTeaHill can’t wait 🤞🏻😃
I would use the reel for snapper off the rocks and the line would be probably be 15-25 lb braid most likely j-braid. Just a question what was the biggest snapper you got?
Hey buddy! I am totally not answering that, she will be in the videos to come :P
Hope to see it soon
NZ is epic - I did the mountains but never made it to the coast. I would bottom bash big soft plastics for snapper and mowong using the 4000 with 20lb jbraid. The reel aesthetics are mint! Great review and footage again 🤙
The reel looks good doesnt it!
@@ByronTeaHill 👌
Great vid mate, good to see videos on bigger species. The 3000 would be great for Snapper up here in Qld. I’d rig it with 20 pound braid.
Cheers
No worries buddy! More to come! Thanks for the entry Michael.
Awesome review, Definitely be after a 4000 size reel for chasing snapper with 20lb braid.
Thanks Sam
Hey Byron .. geez they got it good over there, some thumper reds 👌🏻 and in 2m of water. I’d be running that 4000 with 30lb j braid grand chasing some break-wall Jewfish with the new bait junkie paddle tails, pearl gudgeon or some live poddys 👍🏻
Cheers for the awesome content again and the opportunity, it’s appreciated! 🍻
They do mate, the place is insane!!! my pleasure and good luck
With the 4000 reel I would probably spool it with 20-30 pound braid and uses it for spinning the surf gutters here in down south for some big greenback salmon
Entered Beau!
Awesome looking reel, love the electric blue but even more so... WHAT AN EPIC LOOKING TRIP!!! Great catches and great info, as usual. I'd be looking to spool on some 20lb braid with the 4000 and I think it would work a treat heading into the spring. Looking to do some light shore jigging off the rocks (maybe a Kingie or two) or that dream, trophy snapper down deep.
It was an epic trip Chris such great memories dude
Great vid mate. I’d spool with 20lb Tasline and chase Sydney Harbour kings on top water off the hobie.
You're in!
Hey just wondering are the reels bigger than average sized reel. Just wondering bc thinking of getting the 2500 version
Amazing NZ footage and a 3000 saltist spooled with 30lb would be great for plastic fishing on the reef and for live baiting down the creek
Great idea
Awesome video! I’d target Queenfish in the Exmouth gulf and spool it with 20ld Tasline!
Thanks mate
Great review Byron - I would target Kingfish and use 20lb j braid
Entered
I’d be targeting kings on the surface in the hacking. Spooled with pe 1.5/2 casting braid. Pair it with daiwa’s td black slugger and a Berley pro hat 👌🏽 best content loving it!!!
thanks Sabrina!!!
Nice video, you had an epic trip by the looks of things. I recon I'd load it with 40lb braid to chase shore based fish off the rocks down south wa using soft plastics. Thanks for you great work editing you media for us to watch 🤙🤙
no worries Richard glad you're enjoying the content mate
So keen on this reel! I would target some snapper off the Newcastle reefs and use it for my DPI flathead tracking as well. Would have to sit it with 15lb braid.
I had a blast with it dude, thanks for watching
Great review and great footage mate . It would have to be the 4000 with 20 pound j braid for chasing snapper and jews. Cheers tight lines 🎣
BT living the dream again catching stonker after stonker!!! Love it.
For me the 4000 with some gosen casting braid on there around that 40lb mark chasing kings landbased. Tis nearly the season 👀
Snapper season coming up!!!
Another great video Byron, I would run 20lbs for inshore snapper on soft plastics
My pleasure; glad you enjoyed it
Sick review mate, if I won the reel I’d use it for bonnies tailor and salmon off the rocks and throw some 16lb J-Braid on it!
Thanks Abu
Bloody sensational footage and review Byron. Everything I wanted to hear. Had my eye on these Saltist MQ reels since their release! Initially I was going to match my BG 4000s but may even consider the 3000 like you said with 15 lb braid for the Port Phillip Snapper this season….. I hate fishing heavy now , I guess it’s the finesse Bream man coming out in me?After all it is a sport! Cheers , and see you at the Nicho🤞
See you there buddy! thanks for entering mate, I know its a little different - but thanks for watching the content legend
Hey Bth, are they smooooth ?? I need a 4000size reel to target big kingies off the stones please mate!! With some pe2 J braid grand and get to work 🔥
Yeah dude, real smooootthhh
Hey Tom iv got the 4000 running 50pound braid chasing snapper Jews and what ever runs off beech bait drone bait dropping 150 out reel is like butter
Nice Saltist MG. I would unit a 15 lb braid and use it for inshore red fish and trout!
looking to get this reel. Been using bg 2500 for years, salt to fresh water. boy daiwa impresses me with how well the hold up. I TRY to take good care of my reels, but Daiwa holds up to the abuse. I have had more penn reels crap out on me. Still like penn, rods for sure, but Daiwa is my go to.
Lovely footage,something about snapper fishing that always draws me in,as for the reel would throw 20lb braid and chase tailor off the rocks.
Glad you enjoyed it
great video again awesome, Big trophy flathead and Bass I would try the Taz line 16lb NZ looks like the place keen on the next video cheers
You're in!
Great review vid. Would target snapper on the inshore reefs as well as mulloway in the river.
20lb braid
Absolutely
Awesome video Byron! Love all your review vids.
I would use a 5000 with 60lb braid on the shore jigging rod i just ordered to chase Kingfish
Thanks Skoz, pumped that people like you are watching video after video! bloody legends
@@ByronTeaHill Always love seeing new video notifications from your channel after long days at work
Hey mate once again great info on the new daiwa saltist. def need to enter the comp cheers mate, so I would target macs and tuna off of moreton bay and be using 30lb Fins Braid on that bad boy> also would love to see a saltist vs penn slammer review, just a thought
That sounds good! thanks buddy
Great video Byron! 1) I would target snapper, and 2) I’d spool with 20lb braid. Thanks!
Good Solid Review! Was keen to see what they were like since they got released on the daiwa night...I'd probably use them for a western port setup for snapper and gummies using 30lb braid either in J-Braid Grande or Nomad Pandora depending on if I needed more abrasion resistance
thanks Jared! I think they would be great in there. Tight lines mate
