I have several Daiwa Saltist 2500, 5000 and 6500. Some are on Daiwa J-Braid, but the 6500s are on Diamond 8x 40# braid, orange too. Great reels, good video. Thank you
@fhhsswimmer129 for tuna less than 60 pounds this would be a great reel. You could also bump up to the next size. but I would use the 6500 Saltist reel for smaller tuna! catch them up! where are you mostly fishing?
@@RealFishin I am going on my first ever tuna trip leaving from NYC. About 60-80 miles offshore. Not really sure what to expect. I have this reel bit font know whether I should bring it with me to put it on a jigging or popping rod.
@fhhsswimmer129 yes, I would bring your setup for either jigging or a popping lure. you could easily swap between them. What size braid to you have on it? I would do 40 or 50. for leader, I would use the fluorocarbon 60 or 80 pound.

@offdutycharterstx3898 thank you for the kind words! which reel do you prefer, the 5000 vs the 6500?
@@RealFishin Both are great reels but the 6500 is a much larger reel. The 5000s have the Gomexus Power Handles that make a big difference too.
very cool! thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Did you see the mutton video?
@@RealFishin yes great video!
Do you think this reel could handle some smaller tuna on a jigging or popping set up?
