    I've been using a Shimano Vanford 3000 paired with a St Croix Triumph 7'6" medium fast action for the last year and I love it. Caught a 43" red yesterday in Sargent on that setup. 10lb pp braid and 20lb fluoro leader. It was the best inshore fight I've ever had.
    Last piece of info, I was in an Old Town Predator MK. You and MDLR inspired me 2 years ago to get a kayak. I went with a matching set for friends and family.

    Ordered Shimano Vanquish C3000 XG on 5/25/23 when I saw it first available at Digitaka. It arrived perfect 2 days later without paying for overnight shipping or anything. Coincidentally, I had a kayak trip planned to the Nature Coast here in Florida on 5/28. I paired the Vanquish, 10lb braid, with a Bull Bay 7' Tac-X rod and it is very light. I launched early, paddled to my favorite spot, using topwater, missed a hit on cast 5, paddled to a different spot and on my 1st cast at the next point hooked and landed a 41 inch common snook. Reel was great, drag sound was music to my ears. Caught a 25 inch snook after maybe 50 more casts, missed 2 more blowups and called it a day after 3 hours. I have not fished since and I have been fishing with a Shimano Vanford 2500. I sensed the Vanquish was tighter than the Vanford and maybe required a touch more effort to use. Vanquish is a beautiful reel but maybe the Vanford is my sweetspot.

    Nice breakdown! I recieved my 23' Vanquish C2000S and C2000SHG and the line management is impeccable. The new technology really works. They cast like a dream. The C2000SHG is going to replace my 22' Stella of the same size due to the weight difference. 6.2 oz. vs. 5.2 for the Vanquish. The only downside to the new Vanquish is the inertia isn't as floating free as the 19' model. Maybe it's the new gearing or grease. At least on the reels I recieved. It's still lower than the Stella but not by much.

    @enrikomulawarman7617 11 місяців тому +3

    I would pick airity, but the slow oscillation from stella is game changer to me, it'll help casting a lot further even with small spool.
    I usually use 5000 vanford reel to cast, big diameter spool helps a lot, and my vanford 5000 are lighter than most of 2000 reel outhere.

    • @DrJanLindberg
      @DrJanLindberg 10 місяців тому +2

      I have done a lot of casting comparison without noticing any benefit with the slow oscillation. Instead sometimes line can dig into lower layers because of the tight parallel layering. Mitchell had this line management already in the 1960´s but stopped using this later.

    Those reels are the same but different. The Daiwa is neo-samuri art deco and the Shimano neo-samuri zen art deco. Both pay homage to the great reels if the past. The Shimano colour scheme that off the great Mitchell 300 and variants. The 300 alone sold 25 million. Even with a nick name "french coffee grinder". It really is amazing how much spinning rees have evolved. Id be happy with either one but more happy with both.

    I own a few Daiwa in spinning plus baitcaster and own a couple of Shimano’s so I don’t discriminate against either brand. I would want a high end spinning reel in either Shimano or Daiwa. I’m leaning towards the 23 Vanquish or should I go in another direction. My combo limit will be at $700-$800.

The osilation is definitely better than an exist. What I find interesting is that you get almost all the practicality of the Daiwa exist in a reel that is almost half the price of an exist sf

    The internals on the new Vanquish feel more like the Vanford than the Stella fk .. 23 Vanquish is def a lil bit lighter than the new Stella fk but it doesnt have the smoothness on the crank or that ultra premium feel u get that the 22 stella fk has or the 2018 exist which both have that butterish feel to them.
    The line lay on the new vanquish is definitely an upgrade from the previous model but other than that the 2019 vanquish is just as smooth and comparable .. i will be selling my vanquish 1000 ssspg taking that money and putting it towards the new 23 daiwa exist sf 😅

They both have the same technology. I prefer the Vanquish just due to the ounce less in weight. They're both great reels.

      Yes, theyve kinda changed the marketing sizing. 1000, 2500 etc refers to spool size only, and there are small, medium and large size bodies. So there is some crossover with C2500 (2500 spool and rotor with 1000 body) and with Daiwa starting with the PC3000 is large body (3000 spool with large 4000-ish body PC is more power/torque). Also, i ordered a pc3000 mid gear Airity and it already has a light grinding whirling noise. Not good. Anyone else have issues with 2023 Airity? Im deciding on a c2000 or c2500 and this is steering me away from Airity. Cheers.
      Also note- there are 2 different 2000 sizes. One has the small body, 1000 rotor, 2000 spool and tiny handle. That is essentially the 1000 with more line capacity. And this one here c2000hg is small body, 2000 spool and 2500 rotor and bigger knob. @RXangler. Do you happen to have a current digitaka coupon code? Considering ordering thr Vanquish. Thanks!
