Just got my 201HG and I cannot read the manual bc it's all in Japanese! I bought JDM version, lol. Not sure if there is even a diff from the US sold model. I love my 151HG DC. Thought I'd check out the 200. Can't wait to set it up. Thanks for the vid.
Only thing I can think of is that the Open (side plate) setting on mine comes after 4, not before 1. Perhaps that might be bc I have a left-hand crank model. Not sure.
@@michaelcabusi2155 it could be, it may be reversed for LH vs RH. Were you able to find an English version of the manual online or do you need to make some quick Japanese friends for translation? Thanks for the feedback and enjoy that masterpiece!

Whatched your video very informative I always thought the dial was a tension adjustment thing thanks !
It’s a common mistake as people just assume it operates in the traditional baitcasting manner. Glad you enjoyed it!
No way this man baited me with the goat lmao. Nice video learned some stuff.
Hahahahaha! Thanks for checking it out!
Very nice job explaining exactly how and when to use the braking system and how to get the most out of this reel. Great job Joe!
Thanks Larry!
I love mine for sure!👍great info Joe!
Thanks Ted!
OPEN is to take the side plate off for cleaning and lubricant. Definitely NOT a brake setting haha. Don't fish with OPEN.
It’s FULL SEND mode🚀😂🤣
I love how it sounds. I wish my would sound the same.
It’s like a fish siren! WeeeeeeWooooooo!
Here supporting, bro!
Thanks my man!
I like the open setting but if it’s windy I do set it to 2 or 3
For sure! It’s amazing what just the two levels of clicks can do on this reel.
Hey bud welcome back, do you know if the back marshes at metro thawed yet ? Would appreciate the info tight lines
Thank you! I do not, but I’ll keep you posted for sure.👍🎣
Great work
Thanks brother!
Goat got me. 😂
Hahahahahaha! No one can deny the similarity in that sound!😂🤣
Joe the open is to take the side plate off, dont leave it on open!!!
Full send!🚀
@@live2fishofficial lol 😆
I just got one of these, trying to decide what rod to buy for it.Any ideas?
I paired it with a 7’ 2” Tatula MH rod. I was going to pair it with a Shimano rod, but I have a few already I can put this on as well.
@@live2fishofficial Thank you
@@johnhumphries6116 you bet! Let me know what you end up getting. Tight lines!👊💥🎣
@@live2fishofficial What do you think about a Saint Croix Victory Series rod that's medium heavy with a fast tip?
@@johnhumphries6116 that’s an excellent choice!
Loved the goat!
Thanks! It was a fun one to put together!
Never had one. But im absoluty positive of your a hater you fish for carp😂
Never gonna love the bottom feeders lol
Do you think it would be good for spinnerbaits.
Sure would. I’ve was using it with them in early spring and having much success with it.
