No, I have a couple of Shimano reels over $400 and a few around the $200 mark. You do get what you pay for, but there is a point of diminishing return. I think the sweet spot is somewhere in the $200-$500 range. As an example, I have experience with the Shimano Stella which is in the $900 price range and cannot honestly tell the difference between that and my Shimano Vanquish (JDM import) which is around $450. Hope this helps.
@@jaaron2834 bait casters are all american, reel your lure right up to the tip of your rod and wrist flick cast while standing on the bow of your 350hp bass boat being paddled around with foot control Minn Kota... how do you think a spinning reel can handle a 200 lb tuna?
@@jaaron2834I use both bait casters are good and bad in some cases but definitely can’t compare the two there different reels used for different things also have been using spinners for a while never had a knot in my line with one only an occasional line wrap on tip of the rod which doesn’t matter what reel u use so really depends on what type of fishing u do
I changed to Daiwa last year and I don’t think I’ll ever look back. Was a Penn guy when I was younger, then Shimano for years. Daiwa is a perfect balance of smoothness (Shimano) and durability (Penn).
I have MQ saltist 3000 and Penn slammer 3500. LOVE the saltist for inshore flats/mangroves, lures casts a mile nice ligh weight setup. The slammer is much heavier but I find it has a little more power behind it, I use that for docks, and reef fishing when the tax man is near it horses fish in. Each have a purpose imo
I believe Stardic SW 2024 will worth it by now, not the old models. I used my 6500DX for shore jigging, no probme' with the reel with fish like GT caught up to 47lbs.
Used to mainly use Penn. I have Shimanos and Daiwas now as well. I prefer Shimano. Not a fan of Daiwa MQ reels being hard to service. They need to sell the MQ side plate tool and magseal oil.
I enjoyed your video. Coming from years of bait casting reels and one or two spinning reels, I rarely spent over $300 for a reel. I would love to see a review on the 2500-3000 of the Penn Authority, Shimano Twin Power XD, and Daiwa 24 Certate LT at the $500-$550 point. This is the price point I consider the high end. The reels more expensive than $600 or more is for enthusiast. I had spent my younger years fishing $100 reels. Back then the reel’s weren’t at nice as they are now for $100, but it did the job.
Actually the next step down from the sustain is the vanford , then a step down from that is the Stradic. As for these 3 reels the sustain and saltist are very close but i have it #1 Sustain #2 Daiwa #3 Penn I wouldnt use a Penn if you paid me 😂 The only con with the saltist mq and daiwa in general os how thin and cheap their handles are. Ive seem so many people bend and or break the handles Also i wish people would stop using mag seal as a selling point. Thay mag seal fails more then it protects As for line capacity if someone needs more then 150 yards for your typical inshore stuff they should find a new hobby imo. Unless going for shark , cobia, tarpon , monster jacks 150 yards is way more then enough. Daiwa reels I feel are definitely smoothest reels out there but little to smooth. I feel shimano has the smoothness in that perfect sweet spot. And if buying any daiwa or Shimano reel i always buy them straight from japan. So much cheaper then the US. For some reason the states add such a price hike vs other countries
True about the vanford, I just used the Stradic so each comparison was about $100 difference. Hopefully they get that handle issue figured out. I just mentioned magseal since it’s a feature they hype. Many people seem to be getting gomexus for their daiwas
150 yards on a small reel is fine. But on a large reel like a 5000 to 18000 that's not enough. Sending out a balloon or kayaking out a bait off shore or rocks needs a fair amount of line. So I'd rather have more then less line for options. My next reel will be a 10k saragosa. Most of the components are the same as the Stella but at a 3rd of the price.
It should be noted that the line roller of Saltist is not spinning. This yields a friction when reeling the line. You will not feel it on free reeling.
These are great video's appreciate the comparison. Can you compare within brand and their value for each please? Like Shimano Nasci Vs Stradic Vs sustain? Size 3000-4000 reels
I am a seabass fisher from shore and which reel would be the best option? Penn Authority, Daiwa Certate 2024 or Van Staal VR50-75 ? I could get them around 50$ difference.
@@tailwateroutfitters Thanks a lot for your reply, I was thinking to be in water with waders and definitely sometimes the reel could be submerged due to waves.. Just I had a clue about how smooth is the van staals in comparison with Japanese reels.. Also as I have seen VS has larger gear which gives much power to the reel. Just nee technology and refinements made me think which could be better.. *I live in Europe and didn't had a chance to try both of them till now..
can we change something.. refer to how light of a turn in the handle it is as "silky" and when saying "smooth" it should mean how well put together it is (lack of play). bc the slammer is smooth, just not as silky as the saltist (never picked us a sustain)
Ok. I am not going to use my slammer with small artificial lures. The 4500 I have is a beast but I use it for mostly live bait and large lures targeting bigger fish on my kayak. It’s 2.5 years old and just as smooth as the day I bought it
Would not recommend a Sustain. Worst buy I have had yet. Mines squeaks and has a raspy sound after a year of use. My Stradic feels butter smooth and I have had the Stradic longer. Personally, I find the Sustain to be an overpriced Stradic. I'm already looking into replacing my Sustain for a Stella 5k or Saltiga 5k. Hope this helps. Tight lines from Hawaii!
Yea thanks for sharing! You'll definitely not be disappointed with the stella, or saltiga for that matter. But stick with Shimano since you already have their stuff!
But the twin power from Japan it's the same price as the sustain here in the states. I buy all my reels straight from Japan. Same reels wayyy cheaper prices
The sustain sucks. The spinning reel, when casting with braid, causes sometimes knots in the braid. When retrieving in, you'll be like, what was that and find knots coming in.
I CHOOSE SHIMANO AND IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE !!!! absolutely love fishing and personal preference it's cool to see and hear why others choose the gear they use. I'm a gear head so I can yak all day about gear 😂
Caught a spinfisher at the inlet jigging and took it home and greased it and fished it for years! Had a idiot I was fishing with stuff his bow and basically sank his boat with me and my penn slammer3 in it and was submerged under water for an hour Atleast and never took that reel apart or greased it and have fished it for Atleast 3-4 years now
@@BUBBY7Z7Z7 I look at it like this having used them all. Penn is like Ford/Chevy/Dodge and Shimano and Daiwa are like Mercedes/BMW/Audi. They just have better refinement and everything about them is smoother and more precise.
@@BUBBY7Z7Z7 i agree they are tough and i had the same story with my Penn Slammer version 1, a large fish took it from a dock and been under water for more than one month, I finally retrieved it and now it’s like the first day I bought it and with no problem
Do you think $300 is too much for a fishing reel?

what i like about Daiwa is that they match their spool capcity of braid with the rough amount of drag the reel has.
this 3000 saltist mq hods roughly 200 yards of 20lb braid and and 22lbs of drag. and the same for some of the other sizes.
I don’t think that’s intentional, I think it’s just a coincidence
I have a sustain 5000 and have caught many 40 lb stripers with zero prob. Casts a mile, smooth and the drag is excellent
I have a Saltist MQ4000 and couldn't be happier
I have MQ saltist 3000 and Penn slammer 3500. LOVE the saltist for inshore flats/mangroves, lures casts a mile nice ligh weight setup.

You can get any and every parts for any Penn reel in days.GOOD luck finding parts and Japanese reels here.
Shimano is easy to get parts for. But Penn is very easy as well. Plus Penns are very easy to service.

Daiwa Number one 😅
I know the slammer has an automatic bail flip. How many other reels have that feature?
Everyone is dumping those now. It’s terrible for the components to do that. It’s like shifting your car to reverse with your foot on the gas
@@tailwateroutfitters Oh i didn't know that. Not that familiar with spinning reels.
Saltiest MQ…worth every penny. I have two 2500D one 3000D one 4000D one 5000D and one 10000. Why…Just because I can.
Sustain is a finesse reel not a saltwater reel. Saragosa you should review with the other to.
Agreed 😊
What about a 500 dollar saltwater spinning reel
Sustain feels too similar to a stradic so I'll take the saltist, although I dont like the fact it still has a power handle in the smaller sizes.
Agree
Add $150 more and get the twinpower instead of the Sustain for better spec
But the twin power from Japan it's the same price as the sustain here in the states. I buy all my reels straight from Japan. Same reels wayyy cheaper prices
@@artificialslinger9730how do you buy them from japan
forget all these, just go SaltX
Video coming soon on the SaltX 😃
Sustain
Gosa still eats them for breakfast
as a Shimano guy i agree BUT Saragosa is a "saltwater" reel that alittle too bulky for certain applications.
Picked the three least comparable reels possible
🫡
Daiwa saltist , then any daiwa MQ.
Sustain just feels cheap.
Penn just cant take a beating
The sustain sucks. The spinning reel, when casting with braid, causes sometimes knots in the braid. When retrieving in, you'll be like, what was that and find knots coming in.
that is on you and how you spooled the reel, not the reel itself.
Better off getting cheaper reel and pay more for rod
All I wanted to hear was line lay line lay line lay
Sustain then vanford not stradic
They’re not really in the same class of reel cmon two of them are proper saltwater reels
yeah i'll take anything from daiwa or shimano but not a penn
I CHOOSE DAIWA AND ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE !!!!
I CHOOSE SHIMANO AND IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE !!!!
absolutely love fishing and personal preference it's cool to see and hear why others choose the gear they use. I'm a gear head so I can yak all day about gear 😂
sustain
Penn

Why do People like Penn Spinning reels yeah penn international is a great conventional but I hate the look of Penn spinning reels😅
Giveaway sir
It is totally beyond me why anyone thinks they need to spend 300 on a reel, I mean if you got it to burn then good on you.
Yea you definitely don’t need to spend that to go catch fish
The only right answer is anything but a Penn.
